I am unsure which plan to follow so I will talk with you guys tonight regarding it. <br /><br />I know my exception will be April 5, I am going to DC for the Phils first game. I am fairly certain my diet will consist mostly of Miller Lite this day.<br /><br />So I am looking to try for 29 days then.CCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-76582173460333366472010-03-31T12:56:09.103-04:002010-03-31T12:56:09.103-04:00Congrats on taking this on!

We've seen other gyms have great success with the program when everyone is in it together - and especially when the challenge is being supported from the top down.

One of our favorite recipes is the Mexi-salad with fresh guacamole, it’s delicious. From the Whole 30 Resources, here are some basic Paleo resources to get you started. <br /><br />Dr. Loren Cordain’s site http://www.thepaleodiet.com/<br /><br />Robb Wolf’s blog (start with the FAQ) http://robbwolf.com<br /><br />Paleo Shopping List http://www.goodharvestmarket.com/special_diets/paleo_foods.html<br /><br />As far as recipes, we've found that simple things are really good and easy to make. Mix up your protein (beef, chicken, pork, fish, turkey) and veggies and you get plenty of variety. Buy what is on sale at the grocery store and try to make it…I made beets for the first time last month. We are making double batches of dinner so that we have extra for lunches. Salads based from baby spinach with whatever meat we had the night before are great lunches. Also double the veggies at dinner make a big salad + broccoli or something else.<br /><br />Another idea is take a look at what you usually eat and then just modify it. You don’t have to eat all new foods just because you’re changing your diet. If you’re doing no sugar – make chicken parm without the breadcrumbs or try almond meal instead of flour. Try stir-frys they are easy, quick, and incorporate tons of veggies. Eat eggs for dinner. I look through cookbooks for ideas on how to combine ingredients and go from there, also go to the books store and look through some of the paleo books and get ideas. <br /><br />We made a great Paleo chicken cacciatore dish - put chicken breast in a glass pan (spray the bottom with a little evoo) sprinkle some oregano, pepper, basil on top of the chicken. Then top all of it with a can of diced tomatoes (or fresh if you want), chopped/diced onion, red and green peppers, mushrooms, and carrots. Cover with foil, bake at 375 for about 30-40mins, and its done. This is great as leftovers for dinner again the next day or for lunch. <br /><br />Hope some of this helps! If I make it home tonight before coming to the box I'll grab my food journal and you can take a look at what I ate over the past 30 days.Laura Pappashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043167349571825970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763498271020432071.post-49570038490500007232010-03-31T11:24:52.339-04:002010-03-31T11:24:52.339-04:00I'll go with Primal.
