My Paleo Plan

I have been trying to figure out where to start and when to start as well. Having to think about three other people who live in this house as well makes it a bit more difficult to just jump in. I'm allowing us and everyone else (mainly my little boys) the school holiday period in preparation for change. We will be celebrating a 4th birthday as well as indulging in a bit of Easter craziness and since they have been looking forward these times i would hate to take the excitement away. So we have two weeks to consume the things that we really shouldn't be and then say goodbye, at least for the vast majority of our time. Granted every now and then we won't have preferred choices but that's ok, i plan to address that issue if/when it comes.
I also plan to do a pantry raid. I have a couple of reference lists of what foods are Paleo approved so i will cull everything that isn't on that list (so nearly everything ha ha) and throw or give it away. There are some items that i can keep like spices and canned items (eg. tomatoes) but once these are done i will be choosing the organic version in future re-stocks.
Then I need to come up with some workable meal plans. The first 30 days focuses on resetting your body and taste buds, it isn't recommended to have any sweeteners, not even Paleo approved ones. This is so that you get used to the taste of purely natural sugars from fruit. So i will need to plan this time very well as i can imagine myself craving sweet and salty processed treats and caving in because i am tired and detoxing.
This is my plan, i hope that i don't fail myself and my children. I am really motivated to make this change and i really hope to keep this feeling and enthusiasm long enough for us to make the change and realise how wonderful this change could be.
