About me

Hello,

Welcome to the way of the paleo.

My name is Renee, This is my families journey of eating the paleo way.

I have been eating this way since 25th of September 2013.

I started eating this way because I was having lots of health issues. The hardest to deal with was chronic urticaria also known as hives. I was suffering badly!!!

Previously I had suffered for 2 full years then it just went away with no explanation. The doctors never found out what was causing it, I wasn't allergic to anything. It was a mystery. It unfortunately came back about 5 months after having my youngest daughter. I really couldn't go through another two years of that hell. That is what it was. Utter hell!

I went to see a naturopath, she told me to go off all dairy, wheat, rice, gluten, potatoes, etc... I was under complete amazement. What was I going to eat? My regular diet consisted of fruits, veg and meat, lots and lots and lots of bread, baked goods and dairy.

Within 3 weeks of me eating the paleo way my hives have disappeared. If I eat something with dairy, gluten, potato etc. in it, then the hives come back within an hour. (yet I'm NOT allergic, go figure.)

I told my partner a few weeks ago that we are all going to have to start eating the way I do, As it will be cheaper (one shopping list, not two), less hassle for me (not cooking two meals) and everyone will get healthy. He has reluctantly agreed. :-)

My friend even helped me out by loaning me a book called "Eat like a dinosaur" A cookbook for parents and children. It has been perfect as both my eldest have been interested in eating like a dinosaur ever since. I might even splash out and get them a cool t-shirt too. :-)

I can not speak highly enough. It has been a massive learning curve. I'm still learning.

What you will find on my blog:

• Issues with the kids eating paleo.
