Paleo Or Bust!

paleo-dietThe New Food Pyramid

So we are about three weeks into this whole paleo challenge, and I’ve noticed a progression in the gym:

Week 1: “I can’t eat bread and sugar!?  What am I supposed to eat!?”

Week 2: “I’ve dropped 6 pounds already!  This is awesome!”

Week 3: “I tried this new paleo recipe -insert recipe here- it was delicious!”

Hopefully week 4 will bring some of you a new outlook on your food.

Some of the recipes people have been telling me about sound great (samples for the trainers are always appreciated).  Darcy has a good one for Paleo Candy Bars; we are in negotiations with her right now to trade them for her membership.  A few of you have been raving about the Roast Sticky Chicken found in our recipe section (try out some of the links found there to websites for more recipes).  A couple of you asked about the Apple and Pork Roast I was bragging about (I held the sugar and added sweet potatoes)… yea, I love my crockpot.  Here are some yummy breakfast options Kristin H. sent me.

So, you can see that whole, “What am I supposed to eat!?” question is easily answered.  The possibilities are endless.  I told someone today that I eat more variety and better tasting food now then before I started eating paleo.  It’s about eating real, fresh food; not foodlike products made in a factory, packaged with a health claim on it.

So try some new recipes and let me know how they go!
