NEW CHALLENGE.. Paleo

I am officially drinking the Paleo cool aid- or rather the sugarless, grain free, dairy free beverage..the paleo water I guess. I have heard so many positive responses to this way of eating that I decided to give it a try...at least for the next 30 days. Anyone who wants to join is more than welcome.

What is it? 

The Paleo diet, put simply, is a way of eating that mimics what our
Paleolithic ancestors ate (a hunter/gatherer lifestyle). It is a simple, yet
remarkably effective approach for fat loss as well as preventing or reversing
a number of degenerative diseases.

The Paleo diet is built from the healthiest, most nutritious foods available:
• Lean proteins (such as grass-fed meats, free-range fowl, and wild caught
fish) that support strong muscles, healthy bones and optimal
immune function. Protein also makes you feel satisfied between
meals.

• Fruits and vegetables (seasonally harvested, locally grown) rich in
antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that have been
shown to decrease the likelihood of developing a number of degenerative
diseases including cancer, diabetes and neurological decline.

• Healthy fats (such as nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil, fish oil and
grass-fed meat). Scientific research and epidemiological studies
show that diets rich in Monounsaturated and Omega-3 fats dramatically
reduce the instances of obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease
and cognitive decline.
