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:

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.

Wow what a nice giveaway! I've been curious about this whole Paleo Diet/Lifestyle but haven't had time to research too much about it. Having in a beautiful book would definitely help me get a good handle on it and the 30 day guide would step me in the right direction! Thank you!

The 30-day Guide to Paleo Cooking. I have so many digestive issues and having a hard time to consistently eating a paleo meal that I think it would help me tremendously.

I'd love all of the books! But I'm especially interested in Make It Paleo. Converting traditional meals to Paleo has been a challenge for us!
Jessie Brecke says
I'm interested in the #0 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. We just started cutting out gluten and I'm in need of a good book!!
Michelle says
Gather, the art of entertaining. Sometimes I worry the best way to show my family healthy food is still delicious is to trick them haha. I really think that book will help me to expand my cooking repertoire and share it with my family!

The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking is the one I'd most like to check out because it sounds so detailed-the weekly meal plan, the schedule, & the shopping list. Changing the way you eat can be overwhelming, especially with the lack of options in a smaller town so having it broken down helps a lot!
Megan says
30 day Guide to Paleo but I would take any of them. Look great. I will definitely have to get one and get started.
MarjAnn says
I signed up for the email.
Anne says
I think Make It Paleo sounds like it'd be initially most helpful to me since it sounds like it has a lot of information on Paleo basics and recipes that cover several different genres of foods.
Heather Hermanson says
30 Day Guide... I need this to get me started in my Paleo lifestyle ambition!
MarjAnn says
The thirty day book sounds like it would be great to help really make the lifestyle functional for me- would love it!
