Bars

The Paleo Diet as so many call it needs to be looked as a lifestyle more then just a same old diet. This is a way we choose to eat for the healthy benefits that it gives us. This should not be temporary like most diets are. It should be a sustainable way to eat for years to come. It is challenging to start out and wonder, what am I going to eat today?

I remember when we started, me and Nikki were eating the same thing day after day after day. Breakfast with eggs, canadian bacon, and some fruit. Lunch was either tuna or chicken and broccoli, and dinner was the same salad every day with a meat. Thats it, no crazy meals to tell you about or anything, same thing everyday. Well after about a year or so of that it got kind of old. So we started to cook more and try new things and today we have a much larger range of ideas to make for our meals.

It is a process just like learning everything we do in the gym. It will be easy some days and harder other days. I have been there and are constantly learning how to cook things different ways and try new foods. We will continue to share with you things we have made and our success and failures.
