Paleo Foods

Tonight we lucked out and had some friends over for dinner.  As many who are living the Paleo Lifestyle soon learn, a lot of people don't understand all that is involved.  My buddy who likes to poke fun at Paleo, saw my food list I had made on my fridge door.  He started reading off the random things we can eat.  As we all laughed about the silly combinations we can make up, it made me think about how much this list helped me when I first started.  So I thought I would share it!

The food pyramid shows how a Paleo lifestyle balances the amounts of different foods.  The list below is a quick laundry list of what you can eat...there are a lot of things missing.  It has really helped me plan out meals.

Hope this helps you!
