The Paleo Parents annual glamping trip and the much needed time playing on the lake and getting some sunshine

Sarah's rainy weekend and the projects her and the family worked on

Reset & Thrive Bundle

How impressed Sarah is with all the new content

The amazing feedback we have been getting from people on all the amazing resources

How the exclusive two-week meal plan was created from the e-cookbooks included in the bundle, and Stacy's obsession with Salads without grain

Sarah loves Paleo in a Pinch

Stacy is also really excited about Grass Fed Girl's program that is in the bundle

And Sarah is hoping to do Nicole Pittman's 30 Day Gratitude Workbook

The lifestyle things that are in the bundle and why Stacy felt so strongly about including these resources

The Reset & Thrive Library will only be on sale A FEW MORE DAYS and these bundled resources offered at such a big discount will never be offered again!!

This week's show will be about the different kinds of sugars, which is a popular topic in the paleo community

Recognizing the role of sugar in a healthy living template, and getting to a place where you are limiting sugar in a way that supports you and your health goals - which is an individual decision

The habits that tend to go hand in hand with challenges, and how this mirrors yo-yo dieting behaviors

Science with Sarah (32:20)

If you are going to accept that a little bit of sugar is going to be ok once in awhile and will not derail your efforts, there is huge range of things to choose

When we look at the science of how these different sweet compounds impact the human body we start to see some thematic elements

You can find all this information in The Paleo Approach and in a number of posts on Sarah's blog:

The main classes of sugar

The negative impacts

Sarah's recommendations on habits that will not be hurtful

Sarah's recommendations on sugar options that have nutrients

Quantity is the first thing to consider, nutrients found in the sugar is second, and third is to consider what else you are consuming the sugar with to evaluate how your body responds

Why coconut sugar and palm sugar are recommended

The anti-sugar view in the community

Favorite Robb-isms

The most important thing is that you make the best choices for you as often as realistically possible

Paleo is guidance on how to make informed choices, it is not a defined set of rules

Kresser's book The Paleo Cure is a great resource on this subject

How and why Stacy and Sarah make the decisions they do with their lists of yes and no foods

We will be back next week to address all the sugar questions that we receive, so feel free to submit them and we may be able to get them into the mix

Sarah has a book signing this weekend - find the details here if you are in the Atlanta area
