About Sarah
I love eating things from the E A R T H and knowing that I’m putting only good things in my body and living a good life. LOVE IT!
One thing I love about eating Paleo, is the amazing variety. Non-paleo eaters would be amazed! These cookbooks, written by all you creative cooks, really help.
Eating Paleo has decreased the stomach discomfort I used to feel almost daily! It’s an easy, comfortable way to live once you just do it!!
I love how GOOD I feel when I eat Paleo! I have so much more energy & I feel like I accomplish more! Love that there is another great cookbook for those eating Paleo!
I love feeling like I have fueled my body well rather than filled it with whatever was available.
Eating Paleo is such a great feeling. No guilt. True pleasure of knowing that your body will use that human fuel we need to keep us going healthy and strong. Additionally, it makes you be more creative in the kitchen. Love it!
I have been eating Paleo for over a year, and with the great cookbooks I have I go a long time without having the same main dish twice! I didn’t even like cooking until I went paleo! Can’t wait to add this one
I have the e-book copy of “Well Fed” (but would love to have a paper copy to hold!), and it is a fantastic cook book. It offers some really practical advice on how to handle the volume of cooking required for eating Paleo round the clock, without being changed to the stove and most recipes have multiple variations. Highly recommend this book! I use it and Everyday Paleo almost everyday!
I am relatively new to the Paleo lifestyle but I absolutely LOVE knowing that I am eating the foods that my body was designed to use for its optimum performance! I am so thankful for resources like everyday paleo which is helping me to be more creative in introducing new foods to my 7 yr old son! I ordered Paleo Pals this week and cannot wait until the cookbook is available! I recently started following “the clothes that makes the girl”, and her book “well fed” will most definitely be my next purchase!
It’s hard to choose just one thing because BP (Before Paleo) my food never EVER tasted so good. Still, the main reason I’m proud to be Paleo is because of the humane ways we treat the animals we eat. Grass-fed, pastured, cage-free … those I can all be on board with.
I actually just bought this book yesterday. As it’s my first cookbook purchase, I’m really looking forward to it.
Make sure you also add my book Everyday Paleo to your collection!! ; )
EverydayPaleo was one of the first of two blogs I started reading that introduced me to the Paleo way of eating. When I came across this methodology of eating, I was 22, feeling suboptimal as a result of late nights, long days at school/work, no exercise but mainly not eating good food. The ‘paleo way’ gave me a new life essentially – how thankful I am for stumbling across it while I’m young! I would love to read Well Fed.
I love eating well, feeling great and knowing all the ingredients in my food! That’s what I love about paleo!
I love that I feel energized enough to keep up with my kids!
I love raising my daughter paleo and knowing she is thriving on good whole food that she rarely turns down. Whenever I take out meat to cook she gets so excited and starts chanting “meeeaat!”
I love not having to count calories anymore, having healthy joints and eating delicious food!
I love feeling full but not bloated or sick. After eating paleo I’m always energized and ready to go. Before Paleo I would feel the need to rest after a meal…I love not having that feeling anymore!
I LOVE to cook. I LOVE to eat. I LOVE to feel great. Eating Paleo gives me the ability to do all the things that I love. Thanks for yet another great Paleo cookbook!
I’m so happy that Paleo is a part of my life. There are so many benefits to eating this way, but the one I’m enjoying the most these days is my acne free face! I will be 40 this year and have battled acne since my 20′s. Since cutting the dairy and grains out of my diet my face looks better than it has in decades! My Paleo cookbook collection is growing (btw I made the Pecan crusted Chicken and the meatballs from Everyday Paleo ~ both recipes were out of this world!) It would be awesome to get my hands on Well Fed.
Sarah ~ Thanks for all you do in the Paleo community!!
I love eating Paleo because it makes me feel, look, and perform my absolute best! Melissa’s blog is one of my favorites and I would be thrilled to win!
I feel so much better eating paleo! I don’t understand when people are not willing to even try it and see what a difference it makes.
I love eating what is real. I love the fact that my body feels strong and powerful.
I can’t get over how healthy I feel–with so much energy!
Im 16 days into his kind of eating loving it. Anytime I do crave sugar, its for something like a bite of dark chocolate, rather thn the bar. And this new community of paleo people is one of best perks yet!
I love that it’s help me conquer what I thought was impossible or going to be very difficult ….. Getting pregnant!
I love the difference Paleo has made in my mental well-being! I have struggled with depression for years and changing my diet to Paleo has lessened my depression more than medication or any supplements I have tried. I am very happy with the results!
I love being/eating paleo because it keeps me strong, healthy, and young! I never have to worry about another pimple, intense mood swing, or illness – and I can swear off wrinkles for awhile!
I love eating real food!
I love eating foods that taste real and have a depth of flavor and texture to them. Paleo offers a great variety of delicious foods and keeps me content from meal to meal.
Sounds like a winner of a book! Love Scotch eggs – I’d definitely be into that recipe! I love that eating/living paleo makes me feel energized and alive.
I work shift work and love how eating Paleo gives me more engry and gives me an overall good feeling. Love how my children are eating healty and loving the new foods they are trying.
I love not feeling tired all the time. When I’m eating paleo I feel awake and energetic all day long. It’s the best.
I am just getting ready to start my new Paleo lifestyle. I had double by-pass open heart surgery on Feb 11, 2010, at age 40! I have struggled with losing weight for a few years now. I have tried many fad diets only to get frustrated by not losing weight and then bingeing on unhealthy foods. I’m ready to start a new life and first order of business is eating healthier. My doctor has been encouraging the Paleo lifestyle and up until now I have put it off. After reading MANY blogs/reviews/opinions, I feel the Paleo life is the life I will be living from here on out. Either way, I will be getting this book as part of my foundation to starting my new life!
Boy, where to begin?! The food is delicious and satisfying. I feel great after meals, not heavy. Even though my family has various food allergies, now that we’re doing paleo, we can all eat the same foods!
we went to a fellow paleo friends hose for dinner and our entire meal came out of the Well Fed cookbook. Everything was delicious, flavorful and looked so easy to make as well!
The clean feeling I have knowing I’ve put only good nurturing foods in my body.
I like how much energy I have since switching to Paleo. I eat but don’t feel like I want to die afterwards because I have a boulder of pasta or bread filling up my stomach. I also love that there are no “Frankenfoods” in my diet any longer with a list of preservatives as long as my arm.
I love “Eating to Live” rather than “Living to Eat”, I love nourishing my body with whole foods rather than trashing it with processed crap, I love waking up feeling great and looking bright-eyed everyday rather than sluggish and toxic!
I’d starve without having found your wonderful site and cook book! I’m nursing my son who has severe food allergies. Everything I seemed to eat made him sick. Paleo (a modified version) has been the only thing I can eat. I now do my weekly menu plans with your book and blog. Thank you so much for all you do! It’s really made such a difference for me.
yummy yum yum nuff said
I love that paleo 1) makes perfect sense and 2) that it fits perfectly with my allergy to soy and celiac disease
I love how surprised I was upon discovering that Primal food tastes better than the grain-loaded garbage (wheat- I’m looking at you). I love how eating Primal gives me maximized physical energy throughout the day, deeper sleep at night, and increased mental clarity. The fog is gone! This lifestyle is incredible.
Nothing is better than eating real food! I’m always looking for new and creative ways to prepare and thoroughly enjoy real food!
I love how much more energy I have, I love the challenge of cooking for people who aren’t paleo and making them LOVE my food, and I love eating happy animals that led happy natural lives! There is just a lot to love about being paleo!
I love how I never have the crash following eating – I just keep going at a nice steady pace.
I love how paleo can be so much fun! I made well feds mayo last night and had so much fun doing it. I love the changes I can see in my body after eating paleo and the way it makes me feel…not to mention how much better i perform at crossfit! Loved the free version of this book and I know the whole version would he simply amazing!
I love that Paleo is mindless…simple back to basics eating. No counting calories, food combining, or silly gadgets. Just cook, eat and enjoy!! Simple right…..
I’ve seen such a change in my body since eating Paleo way. I just love how it makes me feel! Those sweet cravings are gone and no more mid-afternoon slump. I have the energy to keep up with my 5-year-old. How can you not love a way of life where it’s ok to eat a bacon burger without feeling guiltly!! =)
Eating Paleo has taught me how to cook, I mean really cook. Before I started the paleo way of life, I would cook, but it was so much easier to go out to eat or order in food. The Paleo way of life MADE me have to get comfortable in the kitchen (or else I’d starve). I am extremely thankful for all the blogs, posts, cookbooks, pinterest, and facebook recipes! So thank you for helping me enjoy the paleo way of life, especially all the benefits!
I love that I feel amazing eating paleo. I love having real food on my plate but most of all I love that paleo helped me to get rid off my allergies!!!
I love so many things about it – I think the way it makes me feel most of all. Sometimes I forget how I used to have little energy, feel bloated, get ravenous after two or three hours without “food.” But I’ll hear or read something one of my non-paleo friends says or posts and I remember and am so thankful I live this healthy life!
I love that when I eat Paleo, I do not need to pop a bajillion allergy pills. I love that I don’t have to feel bloated and gross. I love that my mood is even-keel the entire day. I am H.A.P.P.Y when I eat paleo.
Putting as MUCH coconut milk in my coffee as I please!!!!!
Eating Paleo is a journey. A long and sometimes rocky road. The concept seems so simple, but in actuality, changing most things we have been taught about what to eat is an uphill battle for most of us.
The magical thing is once you make that commitment to try, you are amazed and almost stunned at how much better you feel!
Still keeping the faith is a challenge made easier by the amazing cookbooks, written by people who love food, love bringing new and wonderful ways to feed us into our life.
Thanks for all you do!
I love the increased energy I have eating Paleo, the satisfied feeling I have after eating (not bloated), better performance with workouts and I’m finally off my blood pressure medication! I love the everyday paleo recipes and would love some more ideas from her new cookbook!
I love knowing that I am not putting chemicals in my body!!! That I will be healthy and strong for children and live as long as I can to watch them grow! They need me to be “there” for them in all ways!
Eating Paleo makes me stronger at the gym, I can tell the difference right away.
I just feel better all around when I eat paleo/primal. More energy, better sleep, lost some weight–all good stuff!
I love how FULL of FLAVOR eating Paleo is
I love how eating Paleo encourages you to be creative with cooking. I love how people look at you like your crazy…until they TASTE your Paleo prepared food. And I love how I FEEL when I eat this way!!!
I love that for the first time in my life, I don’t have to be afraid of food. I’ve always been able to look at a dish and know exactly how it would make me feel 30 minutes later, but HA! I win, body. You just got beat. down. Oh, and also a zillion times hotter, so also you’re welcome.
I love eating paleo because it has helped me get leaner fitter and stronger
I love how easy it is. (Once you get the hang of it) Basically if it has a nutrition label and an ingredients list you should avoid it!
I love that I truthfully know when I’m hungry and when I’m full — no willpower required!!
I love that we eat real food. All the time. And it all tastes so good.
Along with the health perks, I love Paleo peeps. There is no better “open source” community, sharing resources, experiences and goals.
I’m just starting out and struggling a bit to find quick, easy and creative recipes. I would LOVE a copy of Well Fed. I follow Melissa’s blog and this book is definitely on my wish list!! Thanks for the chance to win!
i love the way i perform after eat paleo!
I love the entire Paleo lifestyle, especially for the TOTAL health benefits. I have not been as fit as I am now since I was a teenager. Putting healthy, REAL food in my body, moving my body to CHALLENGING workouts 6 days a week, and sleeping no less than 8 hrs of quiet, dark sleep a each night….all of this has quite literally changed my entire life.
I just started eating paleo a few weeks ago and this book would be so helpful! I feel much better already after cutting out processed foods and grains, but am in need of a great recipe resource.
I love how great I feel, how I get to eat as much as I want, and how delicious the food is!
I love how my entire family has found lasting health and happiness eating paleo. It shows too! The visiting nurse who comes to check on my 7-month old who was born 10 weeks premature exclaimed last week, “Your family is the picture of health and I wish every baby I saw looked like your son.”
Been eating paleo for about 3 weeks now and I am completely blown away by how good I feel. I am still getting used to making meals and am constinately looking for recipes.
I love that I feel great and the weight loss side effect is pretty awesome too! I have had so many people ask me what I am doing, they want to know about the secret “pill” or “shot,” even nurses have asked.
I don’t get cranky after 2 hours of not eating anymore! I love it! I used to have to carry snacks with me everywhere, or I’d get tired and cranky, but now I don’t have to worry about it.
I love eating paleo…since i have started eating paleo I feel energized, stronger, and so healthy. My favorite part is eating…food tastes so good when it comes from good sources….
I love that paleo helped me get through my first year and a half of law school by giving me real, natural energy. While others guzzled energy drinks (or worse) I stayed focused on my studies by eating real food. Cooking is one of the best forms of stress relief, and I’m always looking for new paleo recipes to try.
I love that my energy level is more consistent throughout the day when I eat paleo!
I love how I feel and doing it for myself and family! I have way more energy! I can’t believe the crap I used go shove in my mouth!
I love how strong it makes me! Thanks for the giveaway!
How good I feel, as well as the fact that the family feels satisfied by our meals.
I love that I love preparing food so much more now. Before Paleo, I looked at dinner time as just another chore – something else on my to do list, and I confess that I didnt find a lot of joy in feeding my family every night. But now that we are eating Paleo, cooking is so much more fun! We are having a blast experimenting with new recipes, vegetables and flavors and we all look forward to sitting down to share the meal together. Real food tastes better. I just never expected that it would also be more fun to prepare!
I love not having sugar crashes, feeling lean and fit and getting to eat lots of delicious and healthy food. My whole family enjoys both your recipes and Mel’s!
Healthy is nice but the challenge also results in some interesting recipes.
I love eating things that make me stronger – real, unprocessed fruits and vegetables and local meats.
The simplicity of making food choices at meal time (although this doesn’t always make it “easy” with so many choices out there, but it’s easier to when it’s just “meat+vegg=yes”).
I love the PEACEFULNESS that comes with eating paleo. The simplicity, goodness and just peacefulness knowing you’re doing what’s right for your body. It just feels right and natural. Its so liberating!!
I love the fact that I am eating a lot more vegetables – and veggies I have never eaten before!
Love the Jicama Fries, Melissa!! Its nice to chow on “home fries” with my scrambled eggs again! Thanks for creating this book – I wish you fabulous success always!
I’m just starting but am loving not having to eat all the time. Three meals without feeling like noshing in between is a nice change.
I love that I’m no longer bloated and I love how mentally alert I feel!
There are so many good veggies that you miss out on by filling up on bread
There’s nothing that I don’t love about eating Paleo!
Paleo just works. Losing more excess weight than I thought I had with no effort was pretty cool too. Glucose regulation is vastly improved, keeps my mind much more stable than before.
I am just starting my Paleo journey after reading thru info from the Wahl’s Foundation about the benefits of Paleo nutrition when someone is dealing with autoimmune issues. We only get one body, got to take care of it as long & as best as we can, right? Here’s to our health~
I love winning free cookbooks!!
I only just started but so far I love eating PALEO!!! It makes me feel energized and ready to seize the day. Crazy how food can affect your mood and outlook on life! I could especially benefit from this cookbook because I’m having a hard time finding good tasting and also “complete” meals. Lately, I’ve been eating a lot of the same meat with a side of veggies and frankly I’m getting bored
I need some variety!!
I love that I don’t have the sugar crashes or the constant craving and thinking about what my next sugar fix is going to be
It’s funny… when I tell people what I eat they always comment on how hard that must be. But the truth is, I actually find it to me MUCH easier! Now that we have no crap in our house, our only choices are healthy things. I don’t worry anymore about my kids getting enough veggies or protein. I find it much easier to create my weekly menus , partly because I have less to choose from, and what’s left over is all good stuff. I also don’t feel guilty about what I’m eating anymore, because all of it feeds me in a positive way. And, because my diet is so full of yummy stuff, I rarely have cravings for anything else.
What don’t I love about eating Paleo! The endless awesome foods that we’re eating. The pounds that continue to melt off of my body. I’ve lost at least 30 (maybe more) pounds since September. Love the energy I get from just eating paleo and so not missing the bloating I felt when I ate grains. So glad that I was told about your book it was a great start to our new normal!!
I love it because it’s EASY! Can’t go wrong with meat and veg. I also think it’s fun to make traditional recipes paleo-friendly using alternate flours and sweeteners. Paleo makes me more creative in the kitchen.
Easy effortless weight loss.
What’s not to love about putting really good and clean food in your body?? It has made a huge difference in how my stomach feels, no more pain and cramps that gluten was doing to me. It’s had the same effect on my 10 year old daughter as well. I am constantly looking for new receipes for our family. I would love to have this book!
Pure and simple, I feel GREAT eating Paleo. Eating Paleo (i.e. Clean) translates, for me, into greater mental clarity, increased energy levels, an just overall feeling better. I frequent Melissa’s blog for her tasty recipes, general Paleo guidance and overall energy, you can feel it almost jumping from the website. Thanks Melissa!!
I like feeling that my diet finally enhances my life, and is not holding it back anymore
Oh i love eating Paleo! i eat more veggies than ever before and i fee great and never hungry/have cravings after meal like I used to after eating pasta dinners or sushi wrapped in rice! I can’t wait to add another cook book to my collection, having options is key!
What I love most about eating Paleo is feeling good about everything I eat! And that I can fill my plate extra full because an extra helping of broccoli never hurt anyone!
What I love about eating Paleo is that food so hearty and delicious can be so health promoting. I don’t recall ever feeling this good – physically or emotionally. And, it only gets better! All that, and bacon, too! <3
oh yeah!!
Eating paleo gives me more energy throughout the day and better sleep at night. It’s amazing how tasty fruits and veggies are once the sugar is cut out.
It makes me feel good on the inside and out! It seems to have helped some of my internal issues, which I am REALLY happy about
I love that I’m not hungry all the time yet still losing weight….And, I have more energy!
Paleo makes me feel free and light
My adult acne has disappeared!!! heck to the yeah. I can’t begin to explain how happy it makes me:) almost can go out of the house without makeup!! it’s only been about a month and it’s amazing.
I love how eating Paleo takes eliminates my allergies. No more daily Zyrtec for me.
I love how eating Paleo makes me feel like I am helping my whole body breathe easily.
Eating Paleo makes me feel clean, energized, and well nourished! No more feelings of NEEDING to eat, better skin, and a flatter non-bloaty tummy!! Yippee, Paleo!!
I like that when I eat paleo I feel more in control of my food rather than feeling like my food is in control of me.
I always loved cooking and trying different food, and always felt like my stomach was out to get me. Turns out eliminating grains, legumes, and many kinds of dairy was the cure for all of my problems. It’s nice that I can still eat delicious satiating food and feel much better.
I love everything about Paleo not just as a dietary regime, but also as a lifestyle. I can’t stress enough how beneficial it is for my body and mind! I really hope to get Melissa’s book soon.
I love that I’ve lost my food cravings since eating paleo. And I feel like I am in control!
I love that eating paleo keeps me energized (and mood-stable!) through the day with no low points and that I am rarely sick. Wait, that’s kind of 3 points.
I’ve benen eating paleo à la Chris Kressers Personal Paleo Code since new year, and nerver have my abs been so visual! Who can dislike something like that
I love all the new veggies and variations of food I now try, like sauerkraut! I would have never tried it, probably, if I hadn’t found and now live Paleo. I also love how my family produces much less packaging to throw away. Mostly compost, yay!
I love feeling good about what I eat – while I’m eating it (as in, I don’t feel like I’m being punished). Overall, I love how good I feel since having gone Paleo – the only thing I don’t like is realizing how bad I felt before!
I love not feeling bloated everyday. I had no idea how horrible I was feeling until I tried eating Paleo for two weeks. I’ve slipped up a few times along the way but feeling great while losing weight is a great motivator to do better.
I love that eating paleo makes me feel healthy and energetic.
Eating Paleo has made me feel better. Lower blood pressure, losing weight, no heart burn, etc. It just seems like everything is better.
I love how good I feel! My belly has never been happy, but eating like this I don’t have any more problems!
I love not feeling too heavy and better energy!
What is there NOT to love about eating Paleo? I know I’m doing what’s best for my body, preventing diabetes, *and* I’ve lost weight without ever being hungry. I love that I can eat, be full, and still look and feel great.
I love eating paleo!! I feel so much heathier, better energy and haven’t had as much as a sniffe this winter.
Plain and simple…makes my stomach feel good!
I love knowing that all the food I am feeding myself and my family is nutritionally solid!
I love the energy I have to play with my daughter and enjoy my life. The biggest difference though, would be that I no longer have the joint pain that I had for YEARS. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia…..and after going paleo i discovered—it was my diet causing the pain/stiffness. Now to wake up without pain is SUCH A GREAT FEELING!!!!
How much better I feel and how my knee pain is greatly diminished. I went from hobbling as I got out of bed and barely able to stand long enough to cook a meal, to doing wii fit dancing (which is VERY active dancing) with my daughter every day.
I know that by eating Paleo, I’m doing the best thing for my health. By feeding my kids Paleo, I know that they are getting the best, too! I’m proud that I can say I feed my kids so well and they truly enjoy it! With books from Sarah and Melissa, I can’t go wrong with any meal! Thank you BOTH!
What I love about Paleo eating is that it makes so much sense! My husband has three kinds of Arthritis, so it is good for him, but also healthy for myself and our two girls.
Love the mood regulation. I’m a much nicer mom to my kiddos
Love eating Paleo because it’s clean eating, and I feel so good– no bloating or heaviness.
What I love most about paleo eating is that I no longer feel like I’m starving all the time.
I’m just beginning my paleo journey and would love a cookbook for inspiration. So far I’m loving not having “sugar crashes” every day. Me energy level is higher and more even. Thanks for the chance to win!
How I feel. More energy, less headaches, able to get up easier in the morning. It’s amazing the change.
My boyfriend and I love to cook and eating this way is so simple. Paleo has been the answer to a host of issues affecting my boyfriend and I, and now I’ve converted a couple of people at work who are reaping the benefits as well.
I love the mental clarity, none of the stomach bloating, and the simplicity……..!!
The best thing about eating paleo is the non-guilty, liberal use of saturated fats!
I love that eating this way makes me feel better. And the reminder that when I don’t feel this way – I feel worse – helps keep me on track in a way other diet/lifestyles don’t!
I love how my energy is stable throughout the day, I sleep better, and recover quicker from workouts. I also love how great the food tastes and how I feel great after eating and not overly stuffed or lethargic.
I love eating real food, and using diet to manage my health. I love the way it makes me feel to eat this way. I don’t love being “that person” in restaurants, but that’s actually been good for my bottom line — I don’t go out nearly as much!
I have been over weight most of my adolescent life and it wasn’t until one of my best friends, who Crossfits, talked to me about Paleo. At first, I thought that it would be like any other weight loss diet that required all ‘healthy’ food to be bland and tasteless, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. So here I am a few months later and I have never felt better in my life! My acne has cleared, I can actually do regular push ups, which I was not able to do before, and I simply couldn’t feel better! Also, I lost weight! I recommend this way of eating to anyone! I simply love paleo it has changed my life for the better!
I am 24 days into my Whole30 challenge and absolutely love it! I not only discovered a great way to eat, but a great way to live.
meat!!
the first thing that pops in my mind…my tummy feels a whole lot better!! And I #2 regularly rather then going days with out!!!!
What’s not to love about eating Paleo?!? Real, colorful food that tastes great, fills you up, and makes you feel great without the stress of calorie counting and whatnot. I’m probably in the best shape of my life, and getting better every day!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I love that along with all the health benefits, I’m eating incredibly tasty food every single meal. I’m not just pretending that some low-fat/low-cal flavorless dreck is satisfying or even remotely palatable. My healthy food is real, delicious food!
My favorite thing about living Paleo, is that my mom is off of her diabetes medication
STEAK!!!
I’m new to eating paleo, but I love how much better I feel after eating than I used to. Now I feel full, but not weighed down by my food and I have so much more energy!
I love eating paleo because, frankly, it makes eating brain dead simple. I don’t have to think of main courses, sides, garnish or anything else, I just make the decision on what meat to eat and then compliment that with a veggie. There’s practically no thought involved and that’s what makes it so easy and successful. I know I’m stuffing my body full of tasty foods with no filler and no crap, it’s all food and taste.
I love eating Paleo because I always feel “well fed”!! I almost never feel deprived & at times can’t believe I get to eat such rich and satisfying food AND still feel great!
That my whole family is healther now!
I’m very new to eating paleo, but I love that I am eating foods that I love, and my stomach feels a million times better! And also that I’m no longer constantly hungry!
I really love eating Paleo because it’s real whole nourishment. My teenage son is 1 year into gluten and soy free, and it has been a challenge to keep him on the right food choices track. Thank you so much for all the efforts of Paleo bloggers everywhere, helping my life get easier as I feed my family SAFE and healthy foods. I would L.O.V.E. a copy of this book (of course I will buy it if I don’t win it)!
First and foremost I love how I feel inside and out eating paleo! Added bonuses include: learning to love cooking again, meeting new veggies and loving them, and my husband saying every night after dinner “I look forward to dinner every evening because I know it’s going to be soooo good. We haven’t had a bad meal since you started cooking paleo!”.
Paleo’s great because it’s not a diet; it’s a lifestyle. Yes, even for the one’s who want to lose weight. Diets are designed to punish your body and mind for the bad lifestyle choices you made.
Ever since I’ve gone paleo, I haven’t suffered one moment. I don’t miss the junk I used to consume because there are always options. Healthy, great tasting options.
I am losing weight, but not hungry and I realized my mind is more focused now. I don’t see why I’d ever jump off this wagon.
I love that my whole family seems much healthier. We have only had the crud once this winter. We feel great!
I love that I can eat loads of healthy food and I’m not gaining weight and I feel great!
I love that even without gluten, rice, soy, legumes, and dairy I’ve never eaten tastier foods. I also love that all of my allergic symptoms have vanished and I feel fantastic! It’s great that there are options or else I wouldn’t be able to stay on Paleo which I consider a life change, not just a temp diet!
I love how I feel when I’m eating Paleo it’s just as simple as that!!
I feel my best when I eat Paleo…great energy, easy digestion, healthy! Love it!!!
I love not getting heart burn and not getting sick!
I loved losing weight right away after years and years of trying everything to lose a few pounds. I also love how much better I feel!
Who knew that Bohemian Brussel sprouts would be one of my favorite new recipes!!!! We couldn’t find smoked salt, so substituted chipolte and it’s love!
My partner and I have been doing Paleo for 1 month and both have had tremendous results and both feel so much better! Thank you for the positive energy and encouragement. It helps a lot knowing there’s a community of folks who are part of a real foods revolution!!!!
I downloaded their sample copy and thought it had a great layout. Am new to the Paleo game, but enjoying it!!
I love my clear skin and no naps in the afternoon. Life is good!
I love that eating paleo is good for so much more than just me and my health…
It’s improved the health of my loved ones, it’s better for the environment, it helps my local economy, it has improved the health of my clients and it instills appreciation for food and value to meal times.
I love when others ask if I miss anything, expecting me to list off sweets and desserts, but I say why would I miss anything when I can eat bacon every morning!
…ENERGY!
I recently (4 weeks to be exact) have began the paleo journey. I honestly can say that I feel like a completely new person; actually I feel like my old self again. After having 2 boys my hormones and mood swings went crazy. Now after being on paleoI feel more energized and am a much happier person. My boys and husband seem happier and love the meals. So thank you everydaypaleo.com, I couldnt have done it without you!
I love that my response to allergy treatments was so complete that it shocked my allergist. I love that my IBS is GONE, without all the side effects that come with being medicated. And most of all, I love that I’m 4 months pregnant and have yet to feel more than mildly bad!
I love feeling healthy and being able to fit into some skinny jeans!
So far I am a toe dipper but have joined a CSA to make it that much easier to eat really well. Plus we have a freezer full of bison now.
I love my Well Fed cookbook right along with my Everyday Paleo book!
I did have the Paleo Pals cookbook on pre-order, but just got an email that my order was cancelled due to lack of availability! I hope to see it again soon. I was really looking forward to letting my kids chose some of their own adventures in the kitchen!
Yes, the Paleo Pals Cookbook project has been put on hold for now but I will be releasing an Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook in May!! However, the Paleo Pals: Jimmy and the Carrot Rocket Ship story book that also includes a handful of recipes is available now for pre-order and should start shipping next week! http://www.amazon.com/Paleo-Pals-Jimmy-Carrot-Rocket/dp/193660888X/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_t_1
Done. I’ve pre-ordered your storybook. My kids are cookbook fiends though! I gave them all my old “regular” cookbooks to play chef with. I know they would love to have their own Paleo cookbook! It would make them feel more involved in the process. I am still looking forward to it when you get back to the project.
In the meantime, I’ll be one of the first in line (online) when your Family cookbook is released!
As I’ve only eaten Paleo for a month now, I like how well I’m feeling on this diet, never tired, plus of course losing weight is great too. I’m still always looking for recipes. I do have Sarah’s Everyday Paleo, and Robb Wolfs cookbook too, but I think you can never have too many.
I enjoy not being hungry. The promotion of nutrient dense foods in place of processed, empty, calories keeps me full with the wealth of paleo options available.
Being healthy and knowing that I always eat clean!
I love how I feel when I eat paleo!!! It’s amazing the amount of energy I have… and I just feel… better!
I love that I don’t have mood swings and I know how my body responds to food. Feel much more in-tune with myself.
I love how I feel good after I eat clean! It’s better than the pain that I feel for hours when I eat stuff that isn’t meant to be eaten.
We have been able to discover some really wonderful new foods we would have never tried before going paleo!
I love losing weight by eating bacon-wrapped eggs!
The food is delicious and I like not feeling bloated after a meal!
What I love is that I have lost 21 pounds without being hungry!
Food is good and I feel and look wonderful. I love eating Paleo.
I feel good and I would love to win this!!! Thanks!
My favorite part of eating a Paleo diet is that I never feel guilty. I know that everything I put in my mouth leaves me feeling satisfied and assured that I’m only putting truly nutritional food into my body!
I love all of the delicious, real food options that I have available to me, creating new recipes, and trying out other Paleo recipes out there. Paleo allows me to foster my creativity in the kitchen and my digestive feels better, to boot. I also sleep better and have more energy during the day instead of my old mid-afternoon energy crashes. What’s not to like?
I love that the food is so dang tasty and satisfying with no cravings for MORE!
I love cooking and eating paleo because: 1) the men I play tennis with keep commenting on how great I look and how great I’m playing. As a 60-year-old wife, mother and grandma, those aren’t compliments I’m used to hearing. 2) Everyone thinks I’m a gourmet cook now! 3) And even better than that is that my time in the kitchen is less than it’s ever been and far more enjoyable!
I have been Paleo for 4 months, and it has changed my life! I feel like a new person, with the energy of a 5 year old. Everything I eat now tastes so good. Suddenly I can taste every single dimension of every single thing I eat!
I tell anyone that will listen about you!
On a side note…thank you Sarah, your story has been so inspirational for me as I walk this wonderful journey!
Because I get to eat steak and not feel bad about it!
I love that paleo is a lifestyle and not a diet.
Real food that is so much tastier than the alternatives.
since starting paleo, I have found all sorts of new veggies I had never tried before that are really yummy!
I love that I can have bacon and butter without guilt.
I love the food and not feeling hungry, and feeling really good when I shop or even when I make choices dining out, not the “either deprivation or guilt” mentality. I eat what I love and I rarely miss the junk! So exciting to have found this lifestyle and this community that helps me keep my head in the game
I love eating paleo! I am no longer bloated. I am losing weight and I feel absolutely wonderful~~
Rediscovering steak and bacon after ten years of eating no mammals.
p: plants
a: animals
l: lean
e: eggs
o: oh this is so much better than sugar swings!
I truly love that since I’ve been eating Paleo for the last 30 days that I can leave the house without having to worry about becoming stricken down by a hunger attack within a couple of hours. Even though I maintained a decent weight, constantly eating ruled my life way more than it should. And who couldn’t be happier than to have their blood pressure drop so that I’ve been able to abandon all of my blood pressure meds. Yay!
I love that Paleo makes me feel alive in the truest sense of the word. I don’t feel bloated, I don’t stress eat, and I don’t get the “food coma” that I used to after eating grains.
Paleo frees me from a conventional American diet (i.e. SAD) and allows me to eat in a world full of meat, veggies, and some fruit/sweet potatoes! I love it and would never go back.
I love that after transitioning to paleo, I love that I am ALWAYS full of energy, never feel gross after eating, sleep much better, actually enjoy cooking and trying new things in the kitchen, and have become a conscious food consumer!
I love Paleo eating because we have had no strep throat or ear infections in our family of 6 since switching our way of eating. It used to be such a common occurence. Healthy kids, Healthy mama & papa and a Happy family. Hooray!!
I love eating Paleo because it helps me kick my sugar addiction!
I started eating Paleo on December 31, 2011 after reading Sarah Fragoso’s paleo cookbook. My husband had recently received it as a Christmas present. I tried the 30 day challenge successfully and have never felt better in my entire life! During that thirty day challenge I even achieved one of my life goals: ONE PULL UP!!! Done on my own! I’m happier & healthier.. and I’m sure my husband is rejoicing that I’ve finally started eating like he has been for years!
I love eating real whole foods that make me feel strong. I also like never feeling deprived or like I’m missing something when I eat a meal. The satiation I get from all these superfoods makes me feel like superman!
I love eating Paleo because I no longer have sugar crashes and I have tons of energy!
I began eating Paleo in January 2012. I must admit I have not stuck with it on a daily basis but when I am eating “right” I feel much better and get right back on my paleo regime. My goal for 2012 is to go all the way Paleo!!
I love Paleo because I feel so much better. I have never eaten this healthy in my life. I feel like my whole life has been transformed and my eyes are open.
I love eating paleo because I know that I am filling my body with pure, natural foods. Not to mention, I feel SO much more energetic and happy when I am eating clean!
I love eating paleo for so many reasons, but one unexpected side effect is that my formerly picky kids are becoming adventurous eaters!
I love Paleo because I do not have any more belly pain and all the yummy food I get to eat!
I’ve only been on the Paleo diet for a few weeks but I feel so much better than I did before. I have so much more energy and i sleep through the night. It was hard at first but now it has gotten easier and I love the food we can eat.
I don’t have a cookbook yet, I get my recipes on line. That is why it would be SO amazing to win!
I love eating Paleo! My skin looks incredible, I don’t get sick as often, I feel happier and I just love experimenting with the food. For someone who really never enjoyed cooking, this is a HUGE change.
I love eating Paleo because my tummy is finally getting flatter and I don’t have the cravings anymore. I know I’m eating the best way I can.
I love Paleo because it has cured my son’s GERD, asthma, and allergies. Also, my stomach doesn’t stick out anymore!
I love eating paleo because I feel fan-flipping-tastic! I have so much more energy. I’m happy, dang it, and my food tastes great. I’d love a copy of Well Fed. Hope I win!
Paleo has changed our life! We feel better all around- we had a cheat night last week and ordered pizza (bad choice) my 3.5 year old says to me “Mommy I don’t want pizza, I just want scrambled eggs and apples” I knew at that moment the weight of what we have accomplished in the last several months. I am so thankful!
I love eating paleo because I’m learning how to cook and have so much more energy!
Hmm…I think Paleo is the way for me to go because I feel better when I eat that way but honestly I’m still having a hard time making the adjustment to this new lifestyle. I love food so I think this could help.
I love that I can skip lunch at work now so I don’t have to deal with bringing lunch. I used to need two snacks and a good sized lunch to survive my work day. I love discovering my local farmers and supporting them and my own health by purchasing grass fed beef and pastured chicken products. I love trying new recipe’s from the Everyday Paleo book or blog.
I feel so satisfied and energized eating Paleo!
For 8 years I convinced myself that following a vegetarian lifestyle was “healthy.” After losing a good amount of unhealthy weight following this regimen I stuck with what I thought “worked for me.” A year ago I discovered CrossFit and it has turned my world upside down. The nutritionist at my gym flat out told me I needed to change my diet drastically if I intended to reap all of the benefits from my workouts. That day I began eating meat again and learned the benefits of following a paleo lifestyle. I can honestly say I have never been this strong or felt so good in my life. I now own the Everyday Paleo cookbook and am thoroughly enjoying learning how to cook delicious paleo meals for myself and my family.
I love how much energy I have!
I love eating Paleo because I know it will help me maintain my weight loss, for life! And it tastes so darn good!!!
I am rejoicing in feeding myself well. As a single mom it is easy to fall into the trap of feeding everyone else and skimping on my needs. Taking the time and care to take care of myself and my body is reaffirming and invigorating. So much more than just good nutrition.
I love eating paleo because it helps me get beyond coming home from work, crashing, and just getting pizza/takeout/fast food again, because i don’t have energy to cook- then starting that cycle again the next day.
I love paleo because it has helped me get out to the farmer’s market, join a CSA, and get to know the people that grow my food.
I love paleo because 90% of paleo foods don’t trigger/contribute to my migraines, and when I go shopping for paleo foods, it doesn’t take an hour of label-reading, atop an hour of deal finding and the actual act of shopping itself.
I love paleo because of the variety. Not just in terms of numbers of vegetables, spices, meats, and combinations thereof- but also the variety of people here on the internets, trying it out, working it out for themselves, and contributing.
I love paleo because the recipes put forth reach into other cultures’ gastronomical histories- including the things mainstream American culture finds distasteful, like organ meat- and embrace them.
And most of all, I love paleo because besides all this- it tastes damn good.
After a series of blood tests, my doctor recommended a diet that included a lot of grains, fake (processed) food, and get on meds. I went against his advice and went paleo and joined a crossfit gym. My blood numbers significantly improved in 60 days and he no longer wants me to take meds. He still recommends grains :p
I love that paleo foods make my body feel good. That’s the number one reason. My intestinal issues improve and my RA symptoms improve. That’s huge! I also love that I have become more inventive in the kitchen since switching to paleo. Who would have thought you could do so much with meat and veggies?
Eating paleo has truly made me feel well fed!
I love breaking my adduction to sweets and healing my husbands gut!
I love that my daughters are learning that eating healthy, fresh, whole foods are delicious, fun and can be just as easy to grab as “fast food”. And we all feel and look SO much better! While they aren’t 100% compliant, I feel that the groundwork is being laid for their futures…and hope that one day they will be more willingly compliant!
Paleo eating has been a god send for me. I feel so much better and like myself more than I have in a very long. I’m confident and stronger.
My sister loves Paleo because her kids are eating better with more variety and she is losing weight. My friend Susie loves it because her RA pain is lessening. I love Paleo because for the first time in my life I don’t have sugar cravings! We have been cooking together Paleo style for six weeks and have no intention of going back to the SAD way of eating.
I love that each paleo bite moves me forward instead of setting me back!
Eating paleo helps keep my symptoms of lupus in remission. I can train harder and I recover faster. Plus, I don’t have to count calories or deprive myself to stay slim…I feel satisfied after every meal and snack.
I also love that my daughter (who is 12) will try everything I make and as a result has discovered lots of new foods that she likes. I guess when you cook greens in bacon fat it just tastes great!
I love feeling better than I thought was possible.
I love that I’m not dieting anymore, just living the paleo lifestyle.
I love paleo because it makes my vegetable garden such a bigger part of my family’s diet, not just snacks and side dishes.
My mood has really stabilized since going Paleo. Also I feel much more in control of my food. Whereas before I felt the food was controlling me, now the reverse is true,
The energy! The un-fuzziness!
I love that it’s REAL food!
I love eating paleo because it gives me confidence in my food choices, helps me perform better in the gym, and gets me in my kitchen more! Also as a high school foods teacher I get to try and spread the good food word!
One word. BACON!
Ditto on the comments above! I used to feel heavy after eating (my wonderfully healthy whole foods diet). Was that what it felt like to be full?! I thought maybe I didn’t really like food sometimes. But now, I love how I feel when I’m done eating. I feel truly satiated and nourished, and I love food.
I completely agree
I love eating REAL food that makes me feel awesome!
I love eating Paleo because I love bacon, avocado and steak. Not many ‘diets’ out there allow such beauties.
I just stumbled upon Paleo and I think it’s awesome. It would be great to have a good cookbook as a guide.
I love eating paleo because it makes me feel like a real person eating real food in a world where nearly everything is fake.
I love eating REAL FOOD. No label required! ….and bacon and butter.
Let’s see, what do I love about eating Paleo…. I love the eggs, the butter, the meats, the butter, the nuts, and did I mention butter?
What I love about eating Paleo is how much better I feel. I have so much energy, think more clearly, am happier, and no longer have joint pain nor a desire to eat sweets.
I love that because I eat food that comes from the earth or walks upon it in a natural way, I consequently care more about the earth. I care more about plants and animals that come from a healthy environment free of toxins. I feel more connected to the earth and am more grateful for it.
…not to mention the fact that I am looking and feeling pretty dang good these days!
I love that my serious, chronic illnesses are starting to fade away, just because of a change in how I eat. It feels like a miracle, and I’m very grateful.
I look prettier, too, but that is just icing on the Paleo cake.
eating paleo means that i was able to stop taking crazy drugs for my rheumatoid arthritis! This in and of itself is enough- but i am just so grateful that I am 6 months pregnant and am not worrying about medications affecting my little acorn.
I love that it has given me a completely new way of life and I feel like I’m giving my son the best I possibly can.
And the food tastes soooo much better
When I was coughing and congested for 5 months (May – August/2011) and allergists and medical doctors could not seem to help me after anti-biotics, negative allergy tests, nasal sprays…etc., etc., I went to a whole health nurse practitioner located far from where I live, who told me to buy and follow Sarah’s cookbook. I had never heard of Paleo Nutrition. At the same time, my High School daughter was recruited for a division one athletic sport for college, across the country, and the coach recommended that she join a Crossfit gym her senior year to get ready. We had never heard of Crossfit. As Paleo nutrition was curing me(Mom), my daughter, a high performing athlete in multiple sports, was coming home for lunch from school because it made her feel so much better to eat Paleo. She will be joining crossfit when her school sports season ends in March, but she has already been following Paleo for 6 months. Our worlds came together coincidentally at the same time, and we both are so extremely happy to have found Paleo Nutrition!!!! She always looks forward to every meal, and is excited to try something new. I am actually doing the Julie and Julia method of cooking through each page in the book! I am going to join crossfit with her! I can’t wait, and really would like the Well Fed cookbook since it is endorsed by Sarah!!! My husband is also finally on board…I can leave a sticky note on the counter when I leave for work in the morning, if it is more convenient for him to cook dinner, that states, Dinner page 95, and he happily creates Paleo..he also looks up recipes on his own too. It took me about 4 months to get the cupboards, pantry, and family on board, and emergency paleo in my freezer, which has saved me a ton of time and $$ from not having to go to doctor appointments any longer. My daughter has been excelling in school and sports this year and I believe it is the good oils and protein she now has in her diet. Time to let Michelle O’Bama in on this to help with schools across America!
I love that paleo makes it easy to eat well and stay on track. I feel so much less neurotic about food and my health since going paleo. I don’t ever feel deprived. It just makes sense.
I love paleo because I feel better (no more falling asleep driving the kids home from school every day no more mandatory nap at 4). I love that it’s real food. I love that it helps my daughter with her migraines.
And I love “Well Fed”! I only have the e-book so I would love a hard copy!!
I love COOKING Paleo because as an italian who loves to cook, eat and experiment. I can feed my family and know that i am making the best choices for them. I can make amazing, delicious italian, french and mediterranean food with local and fresh products like my ancestors did. I have regained my passion for the kitchen, and the meal, and feel so happy and healthy again!
My first week of eating Paleo…been pretty easy so far. Thanks to your cookbook “Everyday Paleo”! Would love this one as an addition!
I love that I don’t feel like garbage when I eat paleo!
I love that once you get past the “oh my God, no bread, no pasta” you realize just how many choices there really are. It’s like you’ve been given permission to get creative!
I love eating Paleo because I know that I am ALWAYS making a good choice for my body. I’m not 100% there yet, but I’m working on it!
I love cooking paleo food and would love this book!
I love eating paleo because it has given me my life back. I’ve lost 100lbs and am not in pain anymore. I can now function like we were intended – drug free!
I love that eating paleo has made me feel so much better and helped the symptoms of Fibromyalgia, IBS, and GERD all go away. Yay!
I love eating Paleo because it stabilizes my blood sugar: I am not shaking with hunger every two hours. I am more patient with my kids. I am more open to joy.
One reason I love paleo is because of its emphasis on sustainable farming. When I went back to eating meat after 17 years of vegetarianism, I didn’t want to contribute to the abusive factory farming process which turned me veggie in the first place. Paleo opened my eyes to another way.
I love that I can eat until I’m full and not have an ounce a guilt because I know I’m eating clean and fueling my body. I loved when I was at lunch with co-workers and that while they counted calories and talked about how they were still hungry, I kept eating and watched their mouths drop open as they saw how I gave no thought to my calorie count. Awesome! I have wanted this book so bad, love it!
I put this cookbook in my amazon que last week, and have been wondering if I really wanted to purchase it….and now here is a great review on my favorite Paleo site! I love eating Paleo because I have more energy now than I did 25 years ago, with the added benefit that I look fantastic (for my age).
Love her website also!
Sounds like a great book that I will need to add to my paleo cookbook collection! Thank you!
I love that it’s real food, doesn’t make me sick, and I lose weight but don’t feel hungry.
meat, meat and more MEAT!!!
I love the way it makes me feel!
The Paleo lifestyle has saved my life. In the last year I’ve lost 130 lbs through living Paleo and exercising. My high blood pressure is no longer an issue, my cholesterol and triglycerides are all at incredibly healthy levels, and I look and feel better than I ever have in my entire life. I cook three meals a day, and I’m constantly looking for new recipes and trying out the ones I find on this site. I’m unbelievably happy with the lifestyle I’ve found through Paleo/Primal living, and will definitely pick this book up even if I don’t win! Thanks for all the recipes EDP!
I was one of the many that believed whole grains was a must for good health and the right carbs for energy. Yet, I was always hungry and tired. After switching to the paleo lifestyle I have more energy and sleep like a rock at night. In just the last two months I have experimented with more vegetables than in my all my years put together! I feel so blessed to know about this way of eating and aim to continue sharing with others.
I love how amazing I feel eating paleo!
I love that instead of past “healthy” diets of mostly brown rice and steamed veg that left me hungry, weak, underweight and unsatisfied, I’m now eating foods that are easier to digest, give me energy and strength, and are sooooo much tastier!
I just want to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This totally added some sparkle to my day. I can’t wait to try some more recipes! In these tight times, good food has become our luxury, our entertainment, and what brings my family together.
Congratulations!!!
I was introduced to Paleo by my 26 year old son, who is a very fit and healthy us marine officer..sorry had to momma brag a little.
It’s been 1 year this month. I have gone from 133 to 112 pounds. My run times have gotten much faster and I feel great. I love that you dont count anything, just eat healthy non processed foods. It is super easy to eat this way anywhere. We spent 2 weeks at Christmas in Hawaii , with my son, so easy to order in restraunts and of course we cooked lots of fresh tuna and other great things.
Great lifestyle change for me !!
