paleo resources i have collected so far

After writing about being paleo for thirty days yesterday, I had a lot of you comment, tweet & email me asking what sources I used to help me become paleo. I must admit - I am still giggling to myself a bit that I forgot those in that post! They're my favorite part!

Here are a few of my favorite sources and a great place for you to start becoming paleo/educating yourself on paleo:

Favorite books

+Paleoista by Nell Stephenson - This is the very first book I read about the paleo diet and I absolutely love it. Nell describes the Paleo diet candidly - she breaks down exactly why paleos eat the way they do with a little bit of food science and then takes you through a step-by-step process to make your life completely paleo. She gives you recipes, shopping lists & cooking tips - it's a paleo beginner's dream!

+Everyday Paleo by Sarah Fragoso - After reading about this book throughout the internet, I finally got a chance to pick it up after a long wait at my library (that's how popular it is!). While a lot of the same information from Paleoista is covered in this book (though not as well!) this book is great for on-the-go recipes - and look a little more on Sarah's website to get some inspiration on how to train/exercise as a Paleo, especially if you're interested in CrossFit!

Websites

+Paleo Hacks - I'll admit it - I only really began going to Paleo Hacks  because it always came up when I googled a paleo question I had. After a while, however, I realized how much people know their stuff on Paleo Hacks. This is a great place to go if you need to ask or want an answer to a question. Chances are you're not the only one who wanted to know if eating bacon five times a week is still paleo! :)

+Pinterest - Duh. If it isn't already, Pinterest should be one of the first places you go when you need to find recipe inspiration. 

A few fun boards:

-My paleo pinterest board

-30 days of breakfast lunch dinner and snacks

-More paleo recipes than you could ever want

+Paleo Plan - An all-around great site that covers both the basics of paleo-eating and the basic (and not-so-basic!) recipes you'll need along with giving you a great shopping list, meal plans, resources, and even the option for coaching if you need it! I love going to this site when I get bored with a meal (especially breakfast - one can only eat eggs & bacon for so long!) and want to change it up a bit! 

Bloggers

+The Paleo Project - I go to Jenna's blog on a daily basis - and not just to read about her amazing life! If I haven't given you enough links to recipes yet, Jenna has even more fun ones (with my favorite being her Asparagus Stuffed Pork Tenderloin - mmm!). Jenna has also done cross-fit and is always answering reader's questions - so she may be an even better source than me if you have any questions!

+Nom Nom Paleo - Michelle is the cutest Paleo blogger in the world. She posts every day what she ate, explains how she made it and why it's paleo. It's like a step-by-step guide of what you should eat :) There are always great new recipe ideas and resources galore!

Here is the link to my thirty days of paleo post!

If you have any questions about eating paleo, need some support or just need a shoulder or lean on or an ear to listen about any any paleo problems or successes you have had, please let me know! I am always here to talk!
