Why Paleo?

Why Paleo? Is it just a trend?

Not for this Chica!!

It has been a nutritional and health journey!  Numerous food allergies naturally brought me to a Paleo diet. And I use “diet” lightly!!  Way of life is more like it!

When Melissa Hartwig of Whole9 suggested I give eating AIP (Autoimmune Protocal)  for 90 days, let me tell you, it was the first time in a long time I felt A-MAZING!!  No brain fog, no aches, pains or inflammation, great sleep and energy!

I’m of the firm belief, you have to find what works for you, what keeps you on a path of health and eating whole, real food.  Everyone is different, celebrate the differences and celebrate health and wellness!

Lately, I have had a few run ins with judgmental individuals who believe in their way of eating is the only way!

I loved this post from Whole9 after an obese vegetarian told me I was going to get cancer from my breakfast turkey! UGH!  I just responded with grace and I know without a shadow of a doubt, I have made the right choice for me!!

“Humans are terribly binary. These days, both “plant-based” and “meat-based” are diet descriptors that are both overused, and are either defamatory or complimentary, depending on who you are. Whole9 is neither “plant-based” nor “meat-based”. Our diet is food-based.”  ~ Melissa and Dallas Hartwig

Find what works for you that brings you to WHOLE food!

If it’s plant based, great!  If you add meat, great!  Eat for your health and how you function best!
