The elimination diet is actually quite similar to the Paleo eating style. The Paleo premise is to eat like your ancestors... food that was available to them, but prepared with today's cooking methods. You shop mostly from the perimeter of the grocery store.

This new way of eating is taking a little getting used to, but I'm up for the challenge. I'm exploring simple, back-to-basics cooking and trying to include a variety of foods that I might not have cooked much (or at all) in the past. I'm having pretty good luck finding good things to eat by searching Paleo sites.
There are some Paleo sites that are better than others. Many who say they are going Paleo seem to be trying to continue cooking their favorite recipes and baked goods with food substitutions. Others are still cooking with things that are not in the Paleo plan. As if just a little isn't so bad. According to my body, just a little can keep me in the bathroom half the night. No cheating for me! If I don't stick to the elimination diet, my body eliminates the offending foods with great speed and efficiency. :-D
Watch for upcoming posts with recipes for foods hubby and I are both enjoying. Hubby is my tester. We BOTH need to like it for it to be considered successful.
