It's time again for another Primal Rx Paleo Challenge! Our first Paleo challenge began July 26th, lasted 60 days and was a wicked success. Over 30 participants spanning the globe from Alberta all the way to Japan took charge of their health and well being for 60 days and realized dramatic transformations! From weight-loss to performance gains to decreased symptoms from pre-existing health concerns, everyone reaped the positive rewards of the Paleo plan.
The next challenge begins November 1st and lasts for 30 days.
Take charge of your life and empower yourself with the knowledge of how the foods you consume are really affecting your health and fitness goals!
Getting Started
1. Take a look at the video "Paleo in a Nutshell" a great crash course on why going Paleo is a great idea!
2. Read "Anyone Up for A Challenge". This post will give you most of the info you need to get going on the challenge. This challenge is set for 30 days due to holidays etc rather than 60 days. Although, I guarantee by the end of the 30 days you'll want to keep going you'll be feeling soooo.....good :)
3. Familiarize yourself with foods that are acceptable, and foods to eliminate or avoid on the Paleo plan. Read "Paleo Yay Foods" and "Paleo Nay Foods"
4. Go shopping!! Stock your kitchen with the tools you'll need to be successful! A huge part of making this transition painless is being prepared with healthy Paleo foods on hand at all times.
A few key tools include:
6. Do some research! The internet is full of great Paleo recipes, be adventurous and experiment! Be creative and learn to embrace new flavors and new ways of approaching your meals. Elena's Pantry and Everyday Paleo are two of my fave sites for great recipes.
7. Lastly, we are all doing this challenge as a community! Please use this blog to support and encourage one another, comment, share recipes and experiences as we go through this amazing transformation together!
