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:

Make It Paleo---sounds fantastic!
Leslie says
I'd LOVE to have the opportunity to dive into the Make it Paleo book! I have a general understand of the Paleo diet and have been wanting to try it, but I also live and cook for someone else who is more apt to try something they already know. Having the ability to cook something familiar and make it Paleo would definitely be a great help! :)

The 30 day guide to Eating Paleo. I am so curious to learn more about the Paleo Diet. Would love the scientific data that back this Paleo lifestyle. Dr. Esslysten provides scientific research on the negative effects of meat.

I am also excited about the 30 day guide...my husband just found out he has an autoimmune disease and doesn't want to take any medication for it, so he's decided to change his diet. This book (and the others) would definitely help us figure out how to get into this lifestyle!
