Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
If you want to try Paleo for the first time, to clean-up your already Paleo diet, or for any other reason want to do 30 days of strict Paleo this is the challenge for you!
Join me for the FitViews 30-Day Paleo Challenge.
The first challenge will start October 1st. The next challenge won't be until January, so consider joining us now and getting back on track before the holidays. Additional dates will be added to this post in 2015.
The Rules
This is strict (I prefer clean) Paleo, so that means: no dairy, no sugar, no sweeteners, no soy, no grains, no legumes, no white potatoes, no dried fruit, no alcohol, no Paleo 'bread' or 'treat' concoctions, and no excess caffeine.
30 days. No cheat days. No cheat meals.
You ready?

My post on What is Paleo?
It Starts With Food.
It may sound tough, but I believe you'll find it completely worth it! You can't imagine how you'll feel at the end of it. Give it a shot. You deserve this.
The best part of being part of this challenge? You'll have the support and encouragement of a group. Plus, as someone who has been Paleo for 3 years, I'll be there to answer any questions and guide you all along the way.
Please Note: I am not a nutritionist, doctor, or any kind of health professional and I am not trying to play one on the internet. What I offer is simply my opinion and experiences with Paleo.
Yes, this challenge is completely free. I am not trying to sell you anything (nor will anyone else in the challenge).
Join the challenge!
I will be posting challenge posts here on FitViews and adding the links below as I do. I have also started a private facebook group for challenge members. It seems the best way to interact, support, and encourage each other through the 30 days. If you'd like to join please friend me on facebook and ask to be added to the Paleo Challenge group. Please just write on my wall, I'm terrible at answering private messages and don't want to miss anyone! Once you've been added to the group please read the pinned post at the top of the page for the rules and guidelines for the group. (As I mentioned above there is absolutely no selling or self-promotion allowed in the group.)
