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'm most interested in the 30 Day book. This is a totally new topic for me so it'd be nice to have everything broken down for me. I love the ease of having meal plans already created with shopping lists and all too.

The 30-day guide! I'm not sure about Paleo, but my family needs to eat healthier and I think this would be a good place to start.

I downloaded the app on my phone. Very cool!
Samantha Ferguson says
I'd love the 30-day Guide to help get me started with Paleo, though the Make it Paleo sounds great as well!! I'd enjoy the shopping guides & meal plans so that I could easily switch them up and maintain the lifestyle until I was able to confidently incorporate other recipes!

The 30 day guide would be great, as my family(BIL & FIL,also) and I are trying to adopt better eating habits. Eating healthier more sustainable foods is quickly becoming a passion for me. I need all the help I can get! I have 9 people counting on me for their nutrition.
