Why do a Paleo challenge?

Probably because your CrossFit box is running one or you heard about it form a book/the internet/friends and want to try it out. However you got there, starting a paleo diet is no piece of cake (pun completely intended). There’s the question of what to eat and what not to eat. Then there’s the learning to cook paleo thing, and on top of that learning to cook paleo and still ENJOY it thing.

I do want to clarify that this doesn’t mean you have to eat exactly this way all the time. Like I’ve said before, a good diet is a healthful eating plan that works for you. So if you find you feel better when you eat some dairy, then add it back in after the challenge. But in general paleo challenges tend to be fairly strict, and if that’s what you’re doing, I can help!
