I took the "Paleo Challenge" for a month straight. It's got it's benefits:
First off, do it and prepare to spend MONEY! I bought most of my groceries from either Whole Foods or one of the local farmer markets. Anything local or organic is going to cost more and always sold in less quantities, so it's not mass produced. Another tip, when buying food, look up online what's ok to eat and what's not, then take your list and buy everything that you can eat/will eat for like the next week-2 weeks. Since your buying organic and non processed foods, you'll want to drop the dough on it out the gate so you won't be tempted to spend more money while on the diet. Shit gets expensive.
But a paleo cookbook or go online and get creative. CREATIVITY is almost a requirement on this diet because you can get bored real easy just eating meat and veggies. You'll want to set time out to certain meals, especially if you want to do a nice meal like Paleo chili renos with cauliflower rice on the side. Also made a killer salsa to go over it. Mouth watering shit. Or if you want to do Paleo sweet potato pancakes or waffles made out of almond flower and flax. Tons of recipes. I even made Paleo ice cream out of almost milk or coconut milk and bananas. It was intense.
