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 already eat CLOSE to this but I would love to try the 30 Day Plan to help me get on track with our meals..
Victoria says
I am interested in Gather. I have been following your blog for for awhile and about a month ago came across a paleo site. It gave me some new ideas. The reason I am interest in Gather is because I like to cook for my family and friends sometimes they dont always like it so I would like some new exciting ideas.

I would be most excited about the 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking.
Kelly says
All of these books sound great. The entertaining one sounds perfect for me but I will likely get the most from the 30-day one as dinner ides always seem to be in short supply for me.

Would LOVE Gather since I'm new to Paleo and I love to entertain. This book is on my "wish list" on Amazon. Also, I "liked" the Food Lovers’ Primal Palate Facebook page. :)

Absolutely- The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking! We just stared our "clean living" diets this year and it has been a challenge - but I have been feeling so ick for so long we knew we needed to take control. It would be such a fantastic treat to have the 30 day guide (just like I have here - a 100 day guide : ) to help the transition- you know, for my guts sake!
Barb says
I'm new to this, so the 30-day guide would be most helpful! Also shared on Facebook!
