My Paleo Life- Sort of

Yes, I’m trying!  But some days, dang it, my version of Paleo includes deli bought chicken salad and a Naked Green Machine.  Or, chili made with (gasp) canned beans.  What can I say?  It’s better than a fast food burger and a medium fry.  A girl needs her guilty pleasures, after all.

So while I try baking with coconut flour and figuring out why oats can’t be officially Paleo, you can check out this cool list of rules just in case you want to (kind of) Paleo with me…

The 10 Commandments of the Paleo Diet

1. Thou shalt not eat processed foods.
2. Honor thy egg, nut and (grass-fed) meat.
3. Thou shalt refuse refined sugars and grains.
4. Thou shalt give up gluten.
5. Remember thy natural sweeteners (raw honey, dates, maple syrup).
6. Thou shalt bypass beans and legumes—yes, that means you, peanut butter!
7. Thou shalt avoid most alcohols. (Non-colored spirits, like vodka and gin, are best.)
8. Honor thy coconut (flour, oil, water, etc.).
9. Thou shalt vary thy veggies.
10. Thou shalt not sip sugars.
