 | Real Life Paleo by Stacy and Matt from the Paleo Parents takes a practical approach to going Paleo, with three simple steps that anyone can follow and understand. It takes the guess-work out of the paleo diet and breaks it down to a very easy to follow method. The concept is this: "Swap, Remove, Heal".

First Impressions: The first thing you will probably notice is that this book is BIG - and that is because it has so much information in it. At first it may seem overwhelming to have that much content in one book, but it is organized so well that you will be able to quickly find what you are looking for. If you are new to paleo, I would set aside about an hour or two to read through all the great content and familiarize yourself with the 3-Phased approach and how it can make the transition easy on you and your family.
The Recipes: Over 175 recipes, all beautifully photographed (and I know most of you love to see photos with each recipe). The Paleo Parents never disappoint when it comes to recipes, and the recipes in Real Life Paleo range from day to day meals to holiday menu ideas to on-the-go snack ideas, so their is something for everyone and every occasion. With this many recipes and such variety, there's no excuse to not eat healthy! Matt and Stacy were nice enough to let me share a recipe from Real Life Paleo, so check out these delicious Paleo Strawberry Streusel Muffins!
The Other Stuff: This book has excellent how-to-sections and guides (and the indexes rock - so easy to find what you are looking for). I love that Real Life Paleo offers practical solutions for common questions such as how to replace allergens in recipes, finding substitutes for unhealthy staples such as pasta and bread, and how to make everyday cooking quick, easy, and affordable. These are questions I get asked all the time and it's great to see them all answered in one fantastic resource. Real Life Paleo also offers guides to stocking a paleo cupboard, tips for ordering in restaurants and much advice to help you stick with a paleo lifestyle - all things that will help you stay on track on a paleo diet.
The Verdict: Real Life Paleo will give you the confidence and tools you need to be successful on a paleo diet, and to nourish yourself and your family with healthy food. It's worth it alone just for the recipes, but you will get a whole lot more than that. Get your copy HERE.
