1. Less Aisle walking: No more walking down all those isles in the grocery store, just stay to the outside. Saves time and money!
2. Simple Ingredients: The amount of ingredients you need to have a flavorful meal is very little on the Paleo diet. This saves you space, money, and time.
3. Community: In the short amount of time I have focused on the Paleo Diet I have found all sorts of interesting people on the web and in real life that share my interest. More people to talk to is always good.
4. Organic Farming: Everyone loves organic nowadays, by choosing to be on the Paleo Diet you help force producers and farms into organic farming. Nothing speaks louder than the consumer and a free market.
5. Know your food: On the Paleo Diet you really focus on where your food is coming from. You pay attention to catch phrases like “grass fed” and “cage free”. Better for animals and better for your health…oops I said not health related…oh well.
6. Variety through limited choice: By limiting what you can choose to eat you have to get more creative, which leads to more creative and interesting meals. Seriously you will get really excited about mashed cauliflower…serious.
7. Confidence: The weight loss, energy gains, and clean feeling you get from being Paleo transmits to your attitude and in turn you become more confident. Just check out Mark Sisson…dude is a beast.
8. Role Model: In a world where childhood obesity is rampant, I want to be a role model for my kids on how to live their lives. I can’t do that sitting on the couch eating potato chips.
9. Adventure: The workouts that Paleo fans do are anything from routine. They incorporate nature around them and go out there living life. Paleo + Crossfit is the most common combination I see, but just look around and you will see some amazing thing. Tree climbing is a favorite of mine recently.
10. Interesting: People will be interested in you. You eat weird things and workout with no shoes on, you are going to be a topic of conversation. Live it up and encourage others to be healthy with you.

Keep it lean!
