Angela Gallardo - Paleo Diet for Beginners: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started

My name is Angela Gallardo and Im passionate about helping others successfully transition to a Paleo lifestyle.

Ive spent over 10 years learning what it really means to eat healthy and stick with it easily.

Truth be told, it was a frustrating process trying to figure it out on my own.

I tried 30-day challenges, cleanses, raw foods, elimination diets, you name it.

There was a lot of rebounding and feelings of self-loathing. Most of the time I felt weak and wondered how others had any willpower when I didnt.

I wondered if I just didnt have what it takes.

I got SO TIRED of feeling at odds with my body. It consumed my thoughts. Simple pleasures like dining out came with a heaping side of guilt.

In 2014, an invasive surgery woke me up.

It a few short days, my perspective on healthy changed forever. I realized I had what it takes inside of me all along.

The solution: I changed the structure of my meals .

This new structure gave my body the nutrients it needed to be strong both mentally and physically.

I no longer had to *dig* for willpower.

Its simple. Much more simple than weve been taught.

Ive lost over 80 lbs. I have 10x the energy I did before. I feel no deprivation & I LOVE all the food I eat.

And Im here to share this same formula with you.

Angelas knowledgeable advice showed me that is it possible to be free of sugar cravings. Two years later, I'm relieved to never feel faint or "hangry" anymore, plus my cravings for bread and sugar are completely gone. This diet isn't just about losing weight--it's about truly feeling your best. And all her recipes are crazy delicious!"
