Food Is A Drug #Paleo

This morning we were able to share our Paleo Lifestyle using emeals.com on a local station out of Indianpolis wishtv 8 on Indy Style .  We had such a great experience and having never cooked live on air before I think we held our own.  Neither of us our chefs.  We're just your average family using a great meal planning service to help make our dinner experience smoother and easier for our family. Here's our segments and the recipe to share!  Needless to say, we didn't bring home any leftovers.  It was a huge hit with the Indy Style crew. First Segment:  Indy Style Episode   Fried Eggs Indgredients: 3 Tablespoons olive oil 12 eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Directions: Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a larege nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Crack 4 eggs into skillet.  Cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned and soft, turning once.  Repeat procedure twice with remaining oil and eggs.

Paleo is a Lifestyle that is counter cultural.  Looking back over the last couple of months as my 90/10 lifestyle became 80/20 and maybe even 70/30, I realize that much of what surrounds our lives works against a Paleo Lifestyle. For instance, during staff appreciation week students filled baggies with goodies for teachers/staff.  On my desk now sits a bag full of all different kinds of forbidable treats.  Some of my favorite as a matter of fact.  My kids want me to bring it home to them but I'd prefer they didn't devour all that sugar either.

Often times as I attend meetings/conferences etc. the menu can be difficult to navigate. When we go to

Mr. and I challenged friends/family/acquaintances to a 30 day Paleo Challenge starting June 1st.  We were thrilled when we had 28 individuals accept our challege.  We set up rules, we shared a "What to eat" list, we shared some of our favorite Emeals recipes, and we partnered them with a random draw for a countability partner. This 30 Day strict challenge has really inspired Mr. and I as well.  We've been detoxing right along side our Newly Paleo friends.  We've been a bit lax in our paleo lifestyle and followed more of an 80/20 or 70/30 lifestyle.  That's one of many reasons we wanted to issue a challenge, we new we needed to clean up our eating habits too. We've had mixed reviews.  Most people are enjoying the positives.  We have a great Paleo Support Facebook page to share meal ideas, successes and ask questions.  We've been able to inspire friends out of the country but wanting the benefits of this lifestyle as well.  Strict Paleo can be hard initi
