Poking around other people’s blogs, websites, and forums … I’ve seen a trend of people using Paleo as a diet. While yes. yes it is a great way to loose weight and get in shape, it isn’t something like the South Beach Diet, or Atkins, or Weight Watchers {I won’t even add Jenny Craig in here because well.. have you read one of their pre-packaged food labels.. have you looked at one of those meals?! That’s not a meal..that’s insanity!}

Paleo is more than that, paleo is a lifestyle change. You literally have to re-teach yourself everything you’ve ever thought about food and what is and isn’t good for you.

We’ve all grown up with “whole grains are good for you! More whole wheat” or that “gluten free” is actually gluten free..news flash it’s made of corn 98.9% of the time {so go read that label of gluten free whatever you just bought, if it has no corn, no form of a grain whatsoever… stop … really?.. let me know what is so I can check it out!}

Don’t go into this thinking that you’ll do it for a few months, loose the weight and eat pizza again. That’s already setting yourself up to fail! Do this to make you healthier, to give yourself more energy, to be happier, to know that every single thing you’re eating is what your body needs. Have you ever noticed how sometimes you get sick after eating a big meal? Or you feel like it’s nap time… yeahhhh thats the gluten. Killer huh?

I’ve always had severe stomach problems to the point where they thought I might have IBS, Ulcers, Crohn’s Disease, and a million other things. Since I’ve started this, I haven’t been sick unless I’ve had a little cheat {and let me tell you..sometimes cheating is the kick in the ass you need to realize why you’re doing this..it’s not pretty}

I’ll post another page with what’s normally in my house that’s easy to find, easy to use, easy on the wallet, stuff you don’t have to worry about if you don’t eat it the day you buy it.

And I’m alway around email me, facebook me, pigeon carrier me, whatever works.  Even if you don’t have a question and want to say hi, do it! I’m a total email junkie!
