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:

I think I am most interested in Gather, because I always feel like I need to make things less healthy when I am serving others, to ensure that they will like it. It's silly, I know, but I want people to be comfortable. Hopefully this would help me figure out how to appeal to everyone while still serving very healthy foods. but they all sound great!

I am most interested in the 30 day guide book. My husband and I are trying to eat more whole foods since our cholesterol and his blood sugar numbers were higher. I'd love to have some recipes to give us variety and to educate me as I cook. Im really practical and want things to be efficient so having all the lists, menu and education within those 30 days would be great!

Gather, The Art of Paleo Entertaining is the book I am most interested in! I have a continuing Bible Study in my house once a week starting in June. This Bible study focuses on helping mothers, help their daughters to understand God's standard of beauty. It has themes about food and body image. Each week I cook a meal for the moms and I would love for the meals to be an example of how we:
1. Appreciate for in its natural state.
2. Enjoy food in a healthy manner.
3. Gathering around a meal enhances any situation. When you cook for someone you show them your love and respect. Gather, would help enhance my Bible Study.

Janine Burns says
Hi there! I would love the 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. I tried Paleo 2 months ago because the Leaky Gut came back after 5 years. This time I think it's the migraine meds I've been on for several years. Not only has the bloat and constipation been relieved but my migraines are not as frequent. Maybe it was the combination of dairy and grains? But anyway, I'd love a week by week planner and new ideas! Paleo isn't for everyone but its works for my body's autoimmune challenges!
