I gotta throw a little knowledge bomb on you all right about now:
The Paleo Lifestyle is the way to go. It’s not a diet, it’s a total lifestyle change. Right now, a few of my friends are doing a 90 Day Challenge at Albany CrossFit and CrossFit Clifton Park (I’m not sure if this is a world wide CrossFit thing, but still it’s at our local clubs and it’s awesome) and they are absolutely loving it.
And then there’s the food issue.
Paleo is a really hard lifestyle to get into. I’m not 100% paleo because I’m Italian and I use that as an excuse not to give up pasta
But there’s companies like Steve’s Original that make amazingly great foods that are totally Paleo and easy to get.
I first found out about Steve’s Original from Nom Nom Paleo (who is an awesome blogger that you absolutly have to check out, right now… go, I’ll wait)
Here’s a little background about the company:
Steve’s Story:
My story is the result of searching for a healthier way to eat—and live. I love good, clean, real food. Call me a caveman. Call me an original. Call me and tell me what you think about my products, and I’ll send you something extra special in your next order. My name is Steve, and I created Steve’s Original.
My Originals are about the journey that we all take to find a better way to live our lives and fuel our bodies. They’re about the changes that I saw when I made this commitment to myself and my dedication to helping others bring about this change. My Originals are pure, quality, paleo offerings that provide a convenient energy source. They are optimum fuel for life’s journey. But the bottom line: they are insanely delicious.
The other awesome thing about Steve’s Original is that “15% of proceeds from PaleoKits, PaleoKrunch, and other Steve’s Original products go to the Steve’s Club National Program to help bring CrossFit, nutrition, and personal development to youth across the country – one kid at a time.”
How dope is that?!? A company that can get you in a healthy state of living and help out kids across the country!!
I personally am a huge fan of the samplers because the whole thing can last me about a week. I absoutly love the coconut PaleoKit, and I’m a big fan of the cereal but I can’t pick between which kind I like better (original or cinnamon, but they are both amazing)
A Steve’s Club Sampler includes:
1 Grassfed Small PaleoKit
1 GrassFed Just Jerky
1 PaleoKrunch Bar
1 PaleoKrunch Original Flavor Cereal
1 Coconut Small PaleoKit
1 Original Large Paleokit
So as usual…
