Paleo Primal Resources

Books:

Why should I go Paleo/Primal & how do I transition?

 Robb Wolf is my favorite. Probably just because it was the first book I read & I love his podcast.  He also curses a lot and is very sarcastic.  I like that. :) Seriously though, someone told him he was going to have to take out part of his intestines or colon at 26 and he found another way. Then shared it with anyone who would listen.  I think that is awesome!

 We bought this book for a friend.  I flipped through it and it looks really practical.  His Transformation stories and pictures from readers are very inspiring.  His blog is worth reading everyday.  http://www.marksdailyapple.com/

 I haven't read this, but friends have said it is good.  I tried to read Good Calories, Bad Calories but it was pretty intense.  Either I am not as smart as I used to be, or I just don't want to spend my spare 15 minutes a day reading very scientific material that proves something I already believe in.  Probably the latter.  This is supposed to be more practical.  If you are still unsure Paleo/Primal/Grain-free would work for you, maybe you should read it.

Recipes/Cookbooks:

 I have used several recipes out of this one.  All good so far.  Very down home, southern type cooking.  One day soon I am going to tackle their sausage gravy recipe for a weekend breakfast.  That is right, I said GRAVY.  :) Family friendly.

 My first paleo cookbook. Use it all the time. Simple, easy food. The pictures look like the ones I take, which is because she has 3 kids and is a REAL PERSON.  Love that.  Her personal story is pretty motivating at the beginning.

 Also REALLY good.  Extensive "dessert/treat" section. AMAZING PICTURES.  You can totally tell they don't have kids, and I mean that in a good way.  They are excellent photographers and you can tell they spent a lot of time putting this book together.  Recipes for every friggin' thing you could need to make.  This is the book I would buy someone that was clueless on how to go paleo and still needed some convincing.  The pictures win you over!

 I have read great reviews, this is the book I want next.  Hint, hint.  I have tried a couple things from her blog. http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/

Parenting/Family:

These books are not out yet, but I have them on pre-order with amazon. How cool to have resources for our kids, that look fun!

 From the Everyday Paleo author Sarah Fragoso.

These people have a great blog. http://paleoparents.com/ The changes they have made in a year with their family's health are pretty amazing. 

Movie:

You can stream this on Netflix for free.  It isn't labeled paleo/primal but very supportive of the same principles. I found it pretty amusing. 

There are obviously countless other books, blogs and podcasts that can fill you in on living paleo/primal and how it can affect your health/wellbeing, but these are the ones I have read, used and been most interested in.
