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:

I would be interested in ANY of the 3 books!!!! I am in the beginning stages of a complete and total lifestyle makeover in an effort to be healthier and hopefully help our family as a whole. I am fairly new to this and still building my paleo recipe collection for our family.

Wow! What an amazing giveaway. I've been curious about the Paleo diet and winning this would definitely go a very long way in that education. I'd probably be most interested in the "gather" book on entertaining. We do a lot of it in our home and how to do it healthier & still be yummy would be powerful knowledge indeed! Thanks again!

30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. I get so lost shopping in the big supermarkets. I like the idea of having meal plans and shopping lists, so I know what to stock in my pantry.
