5 Steps to a Paleo friendly home

1. Clean out the fridge and Cupboard. Clean out your pantry, cupboard, and fridge of all things non-Paleo (sugar, starch, etc.) If you were having troubles with alcohol i wouldn't keep beer in the house, likewise with food.

2. Cook for four when your two. Preparation is key in the Paleo, so before you get in between a grain and a hard place make sure to have your breakfast and lunch planned. The best way to do this is to cook extra dinner.

3. Sweets aren't the only thing sweet. Cookies and cakes fill a need, and that need can be filled with things that curb your sweet tooth, like nuts and fruit. But be warned, you can over do fruit too! So for desert after dinner, have a little fruit medley with some chopped almonds for desert.

2. Buy a Cook book. For many reasons, but the biggest one is that you only have so many ways too make pumpkin and meatball spaghetti. Start researching receipes and cook books then put your own Paleo twist on it. It makes dinners interesting plus, you won't get board with what your eating. Seasoning will be your best friend so experiment.

1. Join a Tribe. When cooking at home it is easiest if you have a loved one or a roommate who is interested in the Paleo lifestyle. Not only will you have some one to cook with, you now have a support team when those cravings hit the hardest. No spouse or roommate? Look online or at your CrossFit affiliate for the Paleo tribe.
