For all of you Zoners who are currently participating in the 30-day Paleo Challenge, it’s time for another check-in!
How have your first few weeks gone? What are some of the unforeseen challenges that have continually cropped up? Have you learned and applied any tips or tricks for staying “Paleo prepared” from meal-to-meal (especially when out of the house!) that you are willing to share with the rest of the group?
If you’re feeling slightly overwhelmed with the decision making that is required around choosing your foods this month, you’re probably not alone! This is why I’ve included a handy Paleo flow chart to help bring home some of the basic Paleo do’s and don’ts.
If you ever need some friendly assistance as this Cave Month progresses, feel free to comment on any blog post and ask for support or helpful input from your fellow Zoners or the Coaches. (Remember: sharing is caring! 😉 )
Good luck, everyone!

Got it fixed, thanks Jon!
How is everyone doing? Noticing any results? Is it getting easier?
I made b`s yummy macaroons this weekend 🙂
Have to say I've been feeling great, however I've been turning to some weird food combos for snacks – proper meals I cook at home are easy enough.
I'm feeling pretty good, not sure I've noticed any differences in energy yet, either up or down. I have lost 5lbs though!
We're getting into a routine, which is both good and bad – we no longer stare at the fridge wondering what the heck to eat, but we're eating a lot of coconut and almond products, which I'm sure are healthy, but I wonder if there's a limit.
On a more amusing side, I occasionally enter my meals into a log at myfitnesspal.com just to see how much protein, fat and carbs I'm eating. It told me that for my breakfast on Saturday, I was 300 calories over my total allotment for the day, but I was still allowed another 100g of carbs.
Amusing note number 2: Apparently we all have an eating disorder called Orthorexia: Those affected may start by eliminating processed foods, anything with artificial colorings or flavorings as well as foods that have come into contact with pesticides. Beyond that, orthorexics may also shun caffeine, alcohol, sugar, salt, wheat and dairy foods. Some limit themselves to raw foods. http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/new-e…
