My family and I just switched over to Paleo within the last month and we have never felt better. Both my husband and I have dropped weight, but it wasn't about that, it was about opening up my kitchen cabinet, looking at what my kids were eating and it became about the chemicals, preservatives, and the sugar that we were consuming, in boxes and in proteins. My kids have become so much more conscious about the food they choose, which makes me so proud. We're not fanatics, just a family trying to be more conscientious. Taking our kids to farmer's markets for fruits and vegetables and teaching them about grass fed beef/cage free chickens has been interesting for both them and us. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!! There is so much information out there to help you along the way.LisaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577853360044146818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-44305031161485643422011-02-07T09:46:16.975-05:002011-02-07T09:46:16.975-05:00Odile - I have not yet read up on nightshades, I&#...Odile - I have not yet read up on nightshades, I've been cutting so much stuff out that I'm afraid to go there lol. But I think you might be on to something. I do notice a reaction around the time I eat tomatoes... <br /><br />Paleo for autoimmunity does suggest cutting out nightshades as well. I'll have nothing left to eat!!! :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328935611151957460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-91012761950271054042011-02-07T09:40:11.445-05:002011-02-07T09:40:11.445-05:00about the rash... have you read up on nightshades?...about the rash... have you read up on nightshades?Odilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062097190991146797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-33676367523447730912011-01-15T14:08:59.830-05:002011-01-15T14:08:59.830-05:00Thanks everyone so much for the comments!

I've actually already been eating pretty clean for a while now. The only things I stock in my kitchen each week are a loaf of GF bread and a package of GF pasta. The box of Better Batter is what trips me up!! I'm excited to get started this week!<br /><br />Jenn I don't really get sugar cravings as long as I'm not actually eating sugary things. When I do eat sugar, the cravings definitely keep coming back but a couple days off the stuff and I'm fine.<br /><br />Maria I'm so glad you found me! I'm glad there are others out there giving this a try, and thanks for the book recommendation!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328935611151957460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-4171411730964235092011-01-15T13:05:36.192-05:002011-01-15T13:05:36.192-05:00Hi Jen!

I just started a 30 month run of Paleo on Monday and I feel fantastic.<br /><br />I've been reading The Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain and highly reccommend it!Maria @ Oh Healthy Dayhttp://ohhealthyday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-4495815774998892292011-01-15T08:01:09.456-05:002011-01-15T08:01:09.456-05:00I guess I did Paleo before it was Paleo...when it ...I guess I did Paleo before it was Paleo...when it was marketed as South Beach a few years ago - being celiac, I didn't eat any of the south beach products, and I don't eat much dairy. I did feel amazing when we were eating that way, an like you, I think my body is tiring of grains - even gluten-free ones. The refined flours and gums seem to be giving me most of the trouble, so I've cut those out. I'm still eating some grains, but limiting them to brown rice, quinoa and millet, and we don't eat those every day. I'm getting better. <br /><br />If you have sugar cravings, try taking the herbal supplement gymnema sylvestre. My homeopath recommended it to aid in reducing sugar cravings, and it's really worked! Sugar just doesn't have the allure that it used to, and when I do have a little, I find it easier to stop myself after a couple bites...which I have *never* been able to do! <br /><br />Good luck going paleo!Jenn Sutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893324648208270313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-60367373942243605992011-01-13T10:55:52.985-05:002011-01-13T10:55:52.985-05:00keep us posted on the blog jen!

I'm sure if you just do a little planning & shop for the right things it will work out great. It may even be cheaper if you're not buying GF alternatives!<br /><br />good luck!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551844971698386931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-69842733283835061532011-01-13T08:36:15.095-05:002011-01-13T08:36:15.095-05:00I have not tried the Paleo Diet, but something abo...I have not tried the Paleo Diet, but something about it really resonates with me. Instinctively, it sounds right. I don't eat a lot of sugar, but I do love bread and pasta. I would not mind giving this diet a try, slowly. Even one or two days a week to see how I feel. Good luck!Inahttp://glutenfreedelightfullydelicious.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-61922311650458929152011-01-12T21:45:13.273-05:002011-01-12T21:45:13.273-05:00I have not tried Paleo Diet but I know some friend...I have not tried Paleo Diet but I know some friends who are doing or have tried it. Some had good results. I just know it is something that I could never try because I am just not a fan of meat, so that would limit me ;) Good luck with everything and I hope you figure it all out!Pure2raw Twinshttp://www.pure2raw.comnoreply@blogger.com
