Set yourself up for success. Whether Paleo is brand-new to you or you’ve been eating this way for a while and are looking to further fine tune your eating habits, don’t wait until the last minute to get your head in the game.
If you ARE NOT already eating Paleo: Go wheat and gluten free this week, before The Challenge starts. Switch to grains like amaranth, buckwheat (ironically does not contain wheat), millet, montina, oats, quinoa, sorghum, teff, wild rice. This will help make the big switcheroo to no grains a lot easier than going cold turkey.
If you ARE (mostly) eating Paleo and are looking to go totally grain-free: Have grains only at breakfast or lunch for a day or two. Then, go no grains for a day. Again, instead of going cold turkey, step yourself down. No one said the Paleo Challenge has to be a total whip slap in the face!
