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 would help me incredibly. I have crohns and Celiac and have been told that being on a paleo diet may be the only way I can live pain free. It's been so difficult to figure out menus and come up with meals. I really feel this could help me so much.

A hard decision but I would just love Make It Paleo. I love great recipes with pictures. It gives me an idea of what I am making should look like. Also the suggested cooking techniques and tips are always well received by me making me feel confident the recipes will not only look great but taste great too...

Make it Palio- my hubby has brought this diet up several times. I think I'd need a book for sure to get started.
But I'd be happy with any of them... Or all of them.

Oh gosh ... All three books sound intriguing, but Make it Paleo and Gather would be cracked open first. (Perhaps Gather most of all since we love to entertain.)
Crossing my fingers!
Rebecca Martinez says
I'm really interested in reading them all but "The 30 day guide to paleo cooking" would be at the top of the list. :)
