I am wanting to start the paleo diet, today. I decided that I am going cold turkey on everything else and change my diet so that I feel better and have more energy throughout the day. Since I have decided this I know that I will need to clean out my cubboards and get rid of all most everything and I am ok with that. I know why I am doing and I feel that I will get great support from this forum. My biggest question is, is there a Paleo diet intro guide grocery list. I really do not want to wonder around the store becuase I know that is when bad decisions will happen and I will fail before I even start. Any help and what items/ingredients you started with when you first started this diet will be helpful.

As introductions go, mine is fairly simple, I always been in fairly decent shape, was athletic enough to play a college sport albeit it was NAIA. But I digress, as my story continues along, I graduated college, got into teaching which lead to coaching and now I have wrecked my diet to where I am now unrecognizible. I have gained weight (over 30 pounds since 2012), lost some energy, but mainly I know that my body can be a lot more efficient. Now I am 28 spend all day in a gym either tecahing or coaching, and I play 40 minutes and all my joints start hurting and I am out of breath. So I have decided to make a drastic change, I am going to start the Paleo diet. I am kicking everything cold turkey. I have decided to cut out grains, go to fresh meat, and veggies, stop the cokes, eating fast food. This is a bold move on my part one because one I have never felt this conviction before for my life. I also need so help on accountablity and I am hoping that this site will help.
