Ditching Dairy

I have read several different paleo books and countless paleo blogs and they all repeat the same message: ditch the dairy! I could not do them justice in explaining all the scientific reasons BUT I do know that the majority of the worlds population is dairy/lactose intolerant. The feeling of bloat or gas is most likely due to intake of dairy products! I would say give dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt)  the heave-ho for a week or two and see what a difference it makes. I know I love how I feel without it!

 Great Dairy Alternatives:

  • Milk- Almond milk (unsweetened) 
  • Yogurt - Cultured Coconut milk
  • Ice Cream- there is a brand called So Delicious with ice creams made from coconut or almond milk
  • Butter- Ghee or Coconut oil 
  • Cheese- learn to live without it! You can, I promise!
I rarely buy yogurt alternatives (of all the cravings I have, dairy is never one of them) but I saw these at Trader Joe's and bought a few! 


Raspberries, Blueberries, Local Honey



By the way, look at this beautiful Paleo Food Pyramid:

Such a great visual for the nutrition our body wants and needs!

Grocery List

I've gotten such positive feedback from my last post! I cannot express how happy the texts, messages, and Facebook comments made me! What a great community I have surrounding me! I have had a lot of requests to post a clean eating grocery list. There are a ton you can find on Pinterest or in any paleo book you buy.

Sometimes I have a hard time finding them, so just do your best!  Meat/Poultry/Seafood: Grass-fed ground beef Chicken drumsticks or thighs Salmon Tilapia Bacon  Dozen Eggs Vegetables: Broccoli Cucumber Zucchini Squash Bell Peppers Jalapeno Brussel Sprouts  Spinach  Leafy lettuce Onion Tomato Avocado Fruits : Green apples Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) Lemon Other: Egg White protein powder Olives Olive oil Coconut oil Coffee Yellow m...

Atomic Habits Bullet Points

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
