How to start!?!?!?!

So here is the recommendation for going Paleo!!
What I would recommend is to think of this as a LIFESTYLE change and not a diet!! All diets are bound to fail but if you go into this with the mindset that this is going to be a lifelong thing it will be easier for you. There is so much to talk about on the health benefits of the Paleo lifestyle, so if you have specific questions regarding things like why are grains bad and why stop eating dairy please corner a coach and we will be glad to counsel you one on one.

The way I would start is by picking one thing and eliminating it from your nutrition. I would personally go for eliminating sugar, all forms of sugar. Read the labels and if it says SUGAR or HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP do not ingest it. The reason is I have seen a lot of progress with weight loss by just cutting out the sugar. Keep everything else the same until you feel you have the sugar thing down then choose something else, either the legumes the dairy or the grains. Continue on this adventure until you have come to eat what the above picture looks like. Once you have reached that point I would bet you have lost some weight, look, feel and perform much better not only on your workouts but with life in general. At that point if you are still serious about this lifestyle change we will get into calculating numbers and fine tuning your nutrition to match your desired goals.

Now we are all human and need some cheats every once in awhile. If you find yourself in a situation where you have eaten something that you should not have do not worry. Enjoy it and then get right back on it the next day. Now defenitely make your cheat meals to a minimum as in maybe 2-3 MONTH

Nutrition is much harder than coming in for a workout. We can coach you for the hour you are here but when you leave it is up to you to keep your self on track.

Our desire is for all of you to meet your goals and all have a nutrition goal I am sure. You all have goals on how you want to look, feel and perform. This is where it starts. Please do not be afraid to grab a coach, that is why we are here.
