Chances are you’ve heard of the Paleo lifestyle/diet. It is no secret that it’s a growing trend, which many around us are embracing. The Paleo lifestyle means eating real food with an emphasis on humanely raised meat, organic vegetables, and good quality fats like organic coconut oil, fats from pasture-raised animals, and grass-fed butter/ghee. That means no grains! And in some cases, depending on which Paleo eater you are talking to, no dairy. The other focus of the Paleo diet is to incorporate organ meats and fermented foods like sauerkraut and kombucha (the latter are for the benefits of probiotics).
I’ve personally heard of many people who’ve been able to put their autoimmune disorders in remission after switching to a Paleo diet. The belief is that disease can start in the gut, so when you remove gut irritating foods like grains, legumes, and dairy, as well as soy and sugar, you can heal your gut and heal your body. I’ve always said if you feel better without eating gluten or grains or dairy (or another food group)…then by all means avoid it!
So today I am excited to introduce some great resources for those interested in trying out a Paleo lifestyle…three books from the bestselling authors and creators of The Food Lovers Kitchen, Bill Staley and Hayley Mason:

- - The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking
For your first 30 days of eating Paleo, this book includes a complete 30-day meal plan broken down week by week. In each week, they provide a detailed schedule of the meals to make, shopping lists that go along with the meal plan, and recommended reading to expand your knowledge of this lifestyle beyond the basics. The book includes 75 paleo recipes, with an additional 24 bonus recipes for quick and easy meals beyond the plan.
Hayley Mason and Bill Staley started their grain-free journey together in 2010 with their blog, Primal Palate. Since then, they have cooked their way to becoming two of the most popular Paleo foodies on the web.

I would love the 30 Guide. I haven`t started eating this way yet because it seems difficult to get started.
Christina says
I would love The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking! The details, schedules and lists would be so beneficial for my busy life and it would also allow my teenage daughters to participate in meal prep while learning that the REAL FOOD in the fridge can actually create something more satisfying (mentally and physically)and delicious than the 3 minute microwaved junk food!!

Melissa OMalley says
I think that Gather would most interest me. Our family went Paleo in the beginning of the year and have never felt better. To be able to entertain and show guest how easy and healthy out lifestyle is would be awesome. I think people think going Paleo is complicate.

The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking!
Arianna says
Gather. Not only am I gluten-intolerant, lactose-intolerant, and very focused on feeding my family as many non-processed foods as I can. I am also an anthropologist by study. This book intrigues me in that it combines a healthy diet with the coming together of people. It is very difficult to feed several people without some sort of comment or chide about the lack of dairy or gluten. To have a tool such as this book would be a blessing!
