What Real Food Bloggers Really Eat: Sara of Edible

Today’s real food journal comes from Sara of Edible. Sara eats a primarily "paleo" diet, meaning she stays away from grains, beans, sugar, and most dairy.

In her own words…

I follow a Paleo/Primal diet for my health in general, but also to lose weight. The rules I follow are not as restricted as some Paleolithic diets are. I do eat some dairy and cured meats, I drink wine and will indulge in chocolate occasionally. One meal per month I eat whatever I want. The way I see it, the goal of eating this way is to maximize the benefits of a Paleolithic lifestyle, not to torture yourself.
