Countless research studies have shown that people who enlist the help of a weight loss buddy while making a significant change in the way they eat and exercise are much more likely to stick with the new lifestyle long-term, and they lose much more weight than they would have had they gone it alone. Here’s a few benefits to having a Paleo weight loss buddy:
- Motivation: Motivation is usually the biggest obstacle to overcome. A Paleo weight loss buddy helps keep you motivated because you are accountable to someone other than yourself. You are less likely to skip a Crossfit workout or cheat on your diet when you have a partner counting on you to show up or to cook with them (Using Evolve’s Paleo Bread, of course). Some healthy competition between you and your Paleo weight loss buddy can also be a great motivator to lose the extra pounds!

Celebration: Having someone to talk to and share the excitement with when you meet a goal (big or small) is crucial to the process of transitioning to the Paleo lifestyle. You and your Paleo weight loss buddy only want what’s best for each other, and you’ll both be able to provide motivating excitement for each other! Celebrate your success over breakfast with Evolve’s delicious Pancake Mix!
You may have heard about Evolve’s Summer Paleo Challenge, a thirty day, Robb Wolf’s The Paleo Solution-approved program we’re starting with clients this August that is designed to take advantage of the benefits of having a Paleo weight loss buddy and now, we’re challenging everyone to grab a group of friends and go Paleo! At Evolve Paleo Chef, we believe everything is more fun and rewarding when friends are involved, so, the benefits of having a Paleo weight loss buddy are numerous. Here’s some tips on finding the best Paleo weight loss buddy out there: 
- Don’t choose your best friend. Your best friend might be too nice and easy on you. They may not stop you from cheating and eating non-Paleo the way a Paleo weight loss buddy would.
- Find someone who’s reliable. You need to know that your Paleo weight loss buddy will be there for you and won’t give up when it gets tough. Make sure they’re in it for the long-haul!
- Embrace a critic. Usually, critical people are not ones we want to be around. However, when it comes to going Paleo, tough love may be the biggest help. You need a Paleo weight loss buddy that is not afraid to tell you what you need to hear, especially if you have been struggling with sticking to your new diet.
- Let Evolve Help! We sell some really great Paleo snacks and foods online to help everyone stick to the Paleo lifestyle. These snacks are great to share with your Paleo weight loss buddy and we encourage you to get a group of friends together to make Paleo meals! Sharing food is a great way to build friendships, so whip up something yummy using one of Evolve’s savory ghees!
