21 Day Fix...Paleo Style

Leave a Comment
I get a lot of questions about eating Paleo while on the 21 Day Fix,  and while I don't follow strict paleo all of the time (I call it Paleo-ish) it's a great way to get started and discover what foods do and don't work for your body so you can optimize how good you feel.

I put together this 21-Day Fix Paleo food list to take all the questions out of following this program. You’ll have a ton of energy, feel satisfied and get AMAZING results following the meal plan. I also drink the vegan Shakeology every day–the best meal of my day hands down.

Here's a cool chart I made that you can download and keep on your fridge to help you remember!



I understand that cost is a factor when it comes to buying higher quality food and produce, so always opt for the higher quality animal products (meat, fish, eggs, etc.). Buying organic produce is also important, but you can wash the your produce, you can't wash your meat. 

Be sure to check out the Environmental Working Group's Clean 15 and Dirty 12 lists to help you decide which produce is more important to buy organic than others.


There is more to it than this, and individualizing for your particular needs is what I specialize in, so don't hesitate to get in touch with me! 

I hope this inspires you to try the 21 Day Fix Paleo! 

Don’t miss out on the Challenge Pack with Shakeology included + bonus workouts! Enjoy :)
