If you are looking to drop a few pounds in the next couple of weeks in time for thanksgiving and Christmas – now is the time to try a new style of eating. Paleo food describes the food we would have eaten back in the paleolithic era and this means cutting out things like dairy, grains, and refined sugar.
In short, eating in a more natural way will help you to lose a few pounds and slim down to a happier and healthier weight.
Today we want to share a few paleo recipes you can try this week to help you get leaner and healthier ready for your holiday season.
