Start simple. Don't eat grains, legumes, dairy or potatoes for the first 2-4 weeks. Eat real food, make veggies and meat/seafood/eggs and some fruits, nuts and seeds. The bulk of your meals should be protein and veggies. Eat what you want when you want within those guidelines. After the initial healing phase you can try adding back a few things. Like we eat rice and I eat potatoes but my hubby can't have many night shades. I need the starches or my thyroid doesn't function well. When I was doing my initial 30 dyas, I got my starch from winter squash and plantain. Now I know I can tolerate potatoes and rice. We also do a little bit of dairy, mostly grassfed butter and yogurt with occasional cheese. Again, my husband can't tolerate dairy very well, but he can use butter.

I'm getting back on the paleo wagon and it's so important for me to prepare. Have food options ready to go, have meals planned in advance, and have grab and go options like servings of soup or sauteed veggies to take with me (and heat at work) so I have both options and convenience. This involves a lot of grocery shopping, planning, and cooking to start but it's worth it.

Plus I love reading paleo food blogs to inspire me!

A cookbook that I found really complete and helpful is Practical Paleo, by Diane Sanfilippo. It has breakfasts through (gasp) desserts, and many meal plans depending on your reasons for doing paleo. The recipes are realistic and doable, and have turned out well for me!

Welcome! That little girl is adorable!

Thank you everyone for the tips. Thanks ASCRIT for the comment on my little girl. I am biased by I think she is adorable too, except for may her stubborness at times....haha.

Awe, that's pretty funny.
