Would I ever tell anyone to jump 100% into a carnivore eating style on day 1? Never. I mean, people do it, but it’s not likely going to be a pleasant experience - insert Joe Rogan’s immediate switch.

If you’re not used to this way of eating and you’re eating the Standard American Diet there’s a better than good chance that your body relies heavily on regular glucose consumption. Making a switch to paleo, keto, or a carnivore diet will leave most people with a bit of a carb flu.

Carb flu: not an actual flu. Drastically reducing your carb intake you may experience moodiness, headaches, body aches, and/or digestive upset.

For these reasons in my Simple coaching program I help you gradually reduce your carb intake. We’ll explore possible food sensitivities and after you pass the keto quiz you can begin playing with the keto or carnivore diet.

As a coach I can’t tell you how to eat. My job is to provide education so you can decide which path is best for you.

It’s not just food though. Ancestral health incorporates lifestyle habits too because they are just as important as food choices.

Adopting an ancestral health lifestyle all at once can feel overwhelming. My job is to make it simple which is why I created Paleo Bingo.

Instead of trying to do all the things everyday as a beginner, pick ONE thing you can do today.

How to play:

• Below you’ll find 30 paleo activities that encompass food, fitness, and lifestyle.

• Cross off one activity each day until you’ve completed all 30.

• Make it a game and play with friends.

Making positive lifestyle changes should be fun.

As you work your way through the game you’ll likely discover things you like. If you decide to take more walks after dinner, then you’ve just incorporated an activity you enjoy into your lifestyle.

First: Since everyone has a different set of health circumstances please work with a healthcare professional who will support your decision to pursue this lifestyle change. The Paleo Physicians Network is a great place to find a provider.
