Nancy (37:48) - how do you handle dining out with friends and family?

Stacy and Sarah have been following a paleo template long enough that their family and friends know how to support their lifestyles

When eating out Stacy has learned how to navigate a menu, and Matt and Stacy follow the 80/20 rule with the kids, which helps with flexibility when dining out

In the beginning when you are with family try not to make a big deal out of it by calling attention to your eating preferences

Sarah prefers not to eat out - she enjoys cooking and doesn't like to risk exposure to dairy and gluten

Paleo Granny (41:22) - if you don't feel like cooking after a long day, what do you feed your family? how often do you cheat?

When Matt doesn't feel like cooking for the family he makes hot dogs and carrots, and lets the boys chose their toppings

Matt also typically keeps soup on hand, so the family has that as an option

Sarah and Stacy suggest listening to episode 35 for more ideas

Sarah turns to breakfast for dinner when she isn't in the mood to cook

Stacy doesn't care for the word cheat, but chooses not to eat from the paleo template two to three times a week - she follows the 80/20 rule and focuses on nutrient density majority of the time

Stacy has learned to abstain from sweets so that she doesn't crave them everyday, or selects a low sugar recipe

Sarah choses 85% dark chocolate for her treat

Sarah doesn't often eat off plan foods

Stacy has found that increasing non sugary carbohydrates helps with her sugar cravings

Stacy mentioned that they don't strive for paleo perfectionism and try to keep a healthy balance

Sarah (52:55) - if you were stranded on a dessert island what foods would you want with you? What five books would you want with you?

Stacy would be practical and bring paleo kits, something chocolate, yuca fries, protein smoothies, waffle pancakes or Sarah's pumpkin custard

For books, Sarah would bring science textbooks and some pads of paper

Stacy notes that Matt helps her get mostly everything done

Holly (1:18:41) - what are your daily healing diets truly like?

Stacy reminds folks to check her Instagram account, she shares her eats there frequently and focuses on healthy food every day

Stacy also notes that both Sarah and Stacy are very honest with their social media shares and blog posts, and nutrient density is a very high priority for both of them and their families, which is what you see reflected in the information they share

Sarah's diet is very very clean every day, and treats are rarely incorporated - the same goes for her family

For Sarah's family treats happen maybe once or twice a month, they primarily eat fruit if they want something sweet
