Out of all the pics I Googled, for the most part, this was the only one that had a male cooking. What's up with that?

In any sense, we all need to become better cooks so that we can live long healthier lives with great tasting food. Convenience should only be for just that, convenience. We should all try to be prepared for things that come up or we will fall flat on our face. In the end, if you are eating really well and for some reason didn't prepare, I would rather you forgo the idea of at least eating something and just call it fasting until you can eat something paleo. The fasting could do all of us a bit of good in the long run.
Today marks the first day of the challenge and what a day to start. I am excited for everyone and here to help in any way I can. My door is always open. I would recommend that you go it alone this first week and then if you would like, have me take a look at your food log.
Just think, after this first week, you will only have 6 weeks left. It will go fast so make sure you try your hardest to stay on track.
For your viewing pleasure, because breakfast may be the one time of day that people try to come up with other options. I love and can eat eggs every morning but I also understand that if that is to happen, you will need ideas on how to spruce things up.
Try these breakfast ideas on for size:
Paleo Breakfast Recipes
When looking through a recipe book such as this, minimize your use of almond meal, use oil of choice (preferably coconut, avocado, or ghee). Also try to stay away from sweet potatoes unless you are lean already and/or using it as post-workout.
Remember that corn and potatoes are considered grains and not vegetables. When a recipe calls for three eggs but you usually eat 4, 5, or more eggs, put that many in. You don't have to follow the recipe verbatim. Put all the protein you need in it.
Looking for another fat source? Head on over to Hy-Vee and pick you up a bag of unsweetened coconut chips. I had some chicken breast earlier with some salsa (Melina's) on it and then had about two handfuls of coconut chips. A serving size is 28 grams and has about 18 grams of fat (16 saturated) per serving.
If you like coconut, you'll love this stuff. It is unsweetened so it tastes really good. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
