Location: Hill Country of TEXAS!! | What's the best and easiest way to start the paleo lifestyle change so you don't get overwhelmed and quit? My SO and I have been discussing starting paleo and I'd like to get advice on how to start the right way. For lent, we gave up all sweets and sodas which isn't that hard yet but I'm determined to make a change! |

Location: Here | Basically I eat eggs bacon ( the new preservative free one) and a bowl of fruit with coconut canned milk and some shredded coconut in it.
Lunch beef zucchini and a sweet potato
Supper maybe a bowl of fruit or hamburger patty or some pecans
Like NTO said the other day I have cooked more while do this but It really is easy once you get the hang of it and just figure it out
One of our standards is ground beef browned with Zucchini chopped up, kale and mushrooms put the lid on the skillet till veggies are done
and the COCONUT Amnio Acids are fabulous!!! Give great flavor google Paleo Chef for some great sauces!!! |

That sounds really good! I cook a lot so that's not a problem. I guess I'll be packing lunches and dinners to barrel races this summer! |

Location: Smack in the middle of WA! | Been eating this way for about a month and I feel tons better! Love the book Practical Paleo. Just cooked my first spaghetti squash with home canned tomatoes and ground beef tonight and it was pretty good. I try to eat lots of fruit and veggies. And I'm a huge protein person so that makes this way of eating so much easier. I also try and keep cut up veggies and hard boiled eggs in my fridge for a quick and easy snack! Also when you shop stay on the outside of the store. Processed food is in the inner aisles! |

If you are new to Paleo, and are feeling hungry all the time, try eating more beef. It helps you feel full. Chicken, seafood, and other lean meats are low in fat and fat helps you to feel full. Pork is lower in protein.
If possible, try to find grass fed beef. It's better for you, but don't get caught up in perfection. Do what your budget and your sanity can afford. |

The last one is my favorite because she has recipes that aren't 100% paleo for the days when you just need a treat and don't want to fall completely off the wagon. She has an instagram too that has ideas. There's also a clean eating insta account I follow for ideas. I'll see if I can find it on my feed. eating_whole <--- such yummy ideas on this insta! |

Location: Arkansas | I have been reading what these lovely ladies on here had been saying about paleo and last week I read up on it and started limiting my dairy and flour. I never eat processed so that wasn't a problem for me. On Sunday, I went full on paleo and by Wednesday I was down 7 pounds. I am not hungry. I don't feel like I am "missing" anything. I have always cooked every meal or cooked enough to send to work so it hasn't been hard to prep or cook for me. It is just cutting out the dairy, sugar, and flour. Everything else restricted I don't like anyways! :) I do feel better and losing some weight is great motivation. What is the saying, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels?" lol.. All that said, I am hoping to alleviate my allergies and migraines. I want to be healthier for my family. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Facebook is a great place to get recipes or just google whatever you want to make and all kinds of sites will come up.
Google.. Paleo recipes for Chicken
Paleo recipes for Beef etc.
You will then find a site that the recipes just seem to click.
I agree with SG...I decided one day I was going to do it and started the next day. It's so nice not eating sugar free and fat free crap and craving more of that crap. LOL
It's not a diet...it's a lifestyle of eating good, clean food.
