As we draw the curtain on this year's Paleo Challenge you've perhaps wondered what you'll do from here. Will you continue the journey or fall back into old habits? Maybe you'll modify Paleo and find a happy medium that works with your lifestyle. Today's article from our friends at whole9life.com addresses some common concerns when one comes to the conclusion of a 30 day eating challenge.

"A universal truth: making good food choices is easy when you’re following the Whole30 “rules”, but much harder out there in the real world. We’ve talked to many a workshop attendee about this very topic (usually after they’ve fallen face-first into a box of doughnuts post-Whole30).

The rules of the Whole30 program are very specific, and completely non-negotiable. They narrow your (food) world, and remove some of the stress of making your own food choices. The program also gives you an easy fall-back when faced with social or peer pressures. For many, the rules of the Whole30 function much like training wheels on a bike, giving you all the support and back-up you need while allowing you to complete the program under your own power. But are you prepared to ride your big-kid cycle when your 30 days are up?"

Paleo Points and ranks will be published as soon as we hear from all competitors! Coming Soon!

_A phenomenal must read article on going "all in" for the 30 day Paleo challenge. We especially liked the "tough love" paragraph; no hype.

"It will change the way you think about food, it will change your tastes, it will change your habits and your cravings. It could, quite possibly, change the emotional relationship you have with food, and with your body. It has the potential to change the way you eat for the rest of your life. I know this because I did it, and it changed my life, and it changed the way I eat on a very permanent basis." Read on...
