Hi! I just started Crossfit this month and my coach suggested that I try a 30 day Paleo challenge.. I am starting tomorrow! Has anyone had an experience with paleo? I would love to hear from you! I'm nervous!

    I'm doing the same thing, and I guess I am officially three days in. The week before I started, I kind of changed one meal at a time, starting with breakfast, so that by Feb 1, I was doing all the meals. So, not a lot of experience, and I sort of feel crappy right now, but people claim that goes away after a bit.

    Here's my average menu so far:
    Eggs and a banana for breakfast
    Big salad with either tuna or chicken and avocado for lunch
    Chicken or pork with veggies for dinner.

    And I've been drinking lots of water. I was drinking tons of diet mt dew before and having a beer or two every night, so, this is also a big change.

    Good luck!

    I did it before. I only lasted 10 days but I was really strict. All or nothing. You can't eat out at all because it is only organic fruits and vegetables and grass fed beef and organic chicken. It is really hard and really really expensive. I prefer clean low/no carb eating now but I do think you should try Paleo. Keep us up to date with struggles. I bought the Paleo Diet Solution by John Chatham (On my nook app on my smart phone) and that helped a lot. The Taco salad recipe is amazing I still use it frequently.

    So I started Sunday! I got Well Fed on my kindle, and it is such an awesome first book! I have been really digging the recipes so far. I love how she breaks it down to cook for the week on a designated day, and then has a mix and match style throughout the meals. Basically its veggies, a sauce, a protein. Had Pad Thai for lunch just now... amazing!
