Paleo Challange starts soon

February 28, 2010 Leave a comment

For all those participating in the Paleo Challenge, remember to start writing down your food in a journal starting on Monday (even if you’re on vacation).

Reminder: Meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds are the good stuff.

Anything that’s processed needs to be highlighted in your food log.

You’re allowed one cheat meal per week.

Bookmark the Paleo Challenge website for quick reference to the resources, such as Recipes and Links.

And you can also check out the contestants profiles!
