Nutritionist, syndicated columnist, and New York Times bestselling author Leanne Ely is our interview guest today Episode 871 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.”

Paleo has become quite the buzzword in recent years as the movement dedicated to helping people remove grains, processed foods, vegetable oils, and refined carbohydrates from their diet (along with dairy and even nightshades for a few) has grown by leaps and bounds. It was the #1 most-Googled diet search term of 2013 and shows no signs of slowing down. We have people like Robb Wolf, Diane Sanfilippo, Dr. Loren Cordain, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, and many more for helping to put the message out there in books, blogs and podcasts. With the promulgation of the Paleo principles into our culture, more and more people are now enamored by it and want to give it a go for themselves to see how it helps them in their health. Because it can seem daunting at first to those who are coming off the Standard American Diet (SAD), nutritionist, syndicated columnist and New York Times bestselling author Leanne Ely from "Saving Dinner" believes it's important to ease some people into Paleo rather than opting for diving in head-first in one swell foop!

That's why she wrote her new book Part-Time Paleo: How to Go Paleo Without Going Crazy to help people remove the obstacles that stand in their way of giving the Paleo diet the old college try by getting them started on the right foot in a way that is doable immediately so they can reap the great benefits that come from a real-foods based lifestyle change. As an experienced recipe maker and whiz kid in the kitchen, Leanne shares her tips for stocking your food shelves with the best ingredients to make amazing meals. Listen in as Jimmy and Leanne discuss her concept of "part-time" Paleo and how it can be the inroads for a much larger segment of the population to adopt to Paleo more quickly than some of the more intimidating approaches.
