Ease Into It
Trust us, no one expects you to go fully Paleo overnight. The Paleo lifestyle is a whole new approach to eating and exercising that you’ve likely never experienced before, so it’s okay to ease into it. In the beginning, many Paleo-ers abide by an 80/20 rule, where they eat all Paleo during the week (80%) and one day during the weekend, they give themselves a day to eat whatever they want (20%) before they get back on the Paleo track. Typically, once people begin noticing the changes in their body that occur while following the 80/20 rule, they go full Paleo to get the ultimate results! If you need help finding Paleo snacks to munch on between meals, try out Evolve’s Paleo Balls! They’re so good you’ll forget how healthy they are!
Clean Out Your Kitchen
It’s hard to be tempted if there’s nothing to tempt you, right? Go through your kitchen and gather up all the non-Paleo foods and get rid of it! (For unopened items, consider making a donation to your local food pantry) Once you’ve gotten rid of all the non-Paleo foods in your house, head to the grocery store to stock up on everything you’ll need to stick to the Paleo lifestyle. This printer-ready grocery list is a great guide. Since most grocery stores don’t carry Paleo bread, be sure to order a loaf or two from Evolve. It tastes just like the real thing! Evolve’s ghee is also a great butter substitute that you’ll love.

Find Your Motivation
Stop to think for a moment..why do you want to adopt the Paleo lifestyle? Many go Paleo to help them with medical conditions, like GI problems or gluten allergies while others want to feel better each day and achieve the best health of their life. Whatever your reason is, use it as motivation every day in the beginning to help you stick with the Paleo lifestyle. Some Paleo experts recommend that you use your reason to set strict rules for the first 30 days of your transition into the Paleo lifestyle until it becomes a habit. Nearly all Paleo-ers will agree, once you start supplying your body with the foods it was meant to eat, you’ll never want to go back.
While transitioning into the Paleo lifestyle can be challenging, there’s things you can do to make it easier! Find a friend who wants to go Paleo as well and enjoy cooking and working out together. Keep in mind that Evolve Paleo Chef also offers delicious Paleo products to keep you on track. Visit our online shop here. Good luck, we know you can do it!
