I\’ve toyed with the idea of going veggie too, but growing up with Polish immigrant parents who made you eat meat at every meal has kind of stuck with me, and I love my proteins. I wish I could remember the dietitian\’s name because she has a facebook page where she posts paleo recipes, but I lost her card! 🙁

I\’m in the middle of the book too. It is very eye opening, especially since they back up their claims with science. I love beans too, but I am trying to cut back and see what I feel like after a few weeks.

My boyfriend is trying. He\’s going more the gluten free route than full on paleo, but three days in, he says he feels better already compared to what he was eating before.

I\’ve got a lot of ideas for paleo friendly recipes swirling in my head, so stay tuned. 🙂

Try it! It seems a little daunting at first, but with food prep, you won\’t even miss the things that you eliminate from your diet.

I have been tossing around this idea for a while.

There was actually a girl who had a nut allergy at the seminar so they addressed the topic. They suggested to put different seeds in place of nuts and to try hemp products instead. Nuts are supposed to be the smallest part of your diet on paleo, so they can easily be replaced with something else. Good luck!

That\’s what always turned me off from trying Paleo, but after the seminar and reading It Starts With Food, I really want to give it a try.

Yea you\’re supposed to eliminate grains and dairy, so no beer and cheese. This was addressed at the seminar though, and basically they said that paleo is a lifestyle and not a super strict diet with a goal to loose x pounds in thirty days, so you pick and choose what works for you. While they don\’t advise to eat grains and cheese for every meal, its okay to have a \”cheat\” days.
