Paleo Sweets

A common question is what to eat while on the Paleo diet. Many are confused. A quick guideline of foods to not eat are: no grains, no sugar (some use Honey), no artificial sweeteners, no soy, no trans-fats, no legumes and for some no dairy. Sounds kind of scary to most, I am sure. Especially the lack of grains and sugar. That means regular commercial breads, crackers, donuts, cookies, etc. BUT, there are ways to create some of your favorite foods in Paleo form. I’ve compiled a little list of foods to enjoy while on Paleo, just for fun. Foods you wouldn’t normally think could be Paleo. Like waffles and muffins!

Another way to track how many calories you’ve burned or how high your heart rate has gotten during a workout, or how long you’ve worked out is by using a heart rate monitor watch. There are many varieties out there. Some way more expensive than others. With the cheaper ones you might not be able to trust the accuracy. Here are a couple options that I recommend.
