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 really love to try the 30 days book. In the last year I have been diagnosed with lupus, fibromyalgia, anemia and asthma. I would like to try to treat it through diet instead of pharmaceuticals so I think this would be a great starting point! :-)

Gather, The Art of Paleo Entertaining sounds fantastic! I seem to be able to use healthy paleo style meals on a small scale, but become a little "frighten or unsure" when it comes to entertaining.

I am most interested in the 30 day guide to Paleo cooking. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January and have been doing my best to eat whole foods. I'm not a cook, per se, so the meal plans and shopping lists would help me SOOO much!
Thank you for the opportunity.
