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 most like to try the 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking cookbook because, while I am somewhat familiar with the thoughts behind paleo cooking, I have never really tried it before. This would be a great intro!
Cloy says
I would like the Make it Paleo book, I am fascinated with the logical concept of eating this way and would love a primer to start somewhere.
Reynaul says
All three sound good, but I would love to win The 30 Day Guide.

The worst part of eating is meal planning, no matter what diet you follow! That's why I'm most interested in "The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking"... encouraging lifestyle change and making it easy with already made meal plans, YES!
Melanie says
I would love to win the "Make it Paleo" book. I think the pictures would be an incentive to cook and the fundamental cooking techniques would be a big help.
Elizabeth Bowling says
I eat an extremely healthy diet but am curious about the Paleo diet. After being diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome, I am always looking at new ways to take my health to a new level! This seems like a great option!
