Do you really need a Personal Paleo Chef?

Do you believe in fate? I do. I believe everything happens for a reason. I am not entirely sure why Laurah Lawson, founder of Eatology, was brought into my life this weekend, but I am sure there is a purpose.

I was sitting on a bench in the hair salon, waiting for my daughter to get her hair done, reading You can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. I highly recommend this book, by the way. Laurah was setting up a booth right next to me and I couldn’t help but notice her flyer stating the food was Paleo.

After striking up a conversation, I learned her menu was actually Paleo Zone, which is pretty much the same as The Wild Diet by James Abel that my family has been following.  We discussed how eating clean is great, but portion control is also a must. She lost 25 pounds in a month eating fish and vegetables for pretty much every meal. That dieting technique is not so different than the eating chicken and veggies six times a day program that many bodybuilders follow. Now, I could do salmon and asparagus three times a day, but six is a bit excessive.

Laurah’s mom is a chef, so we know where Laurah got her talent and love for cooking. Her creative talent is taking a deliciously fattening meal and making it healthy enough for every athlete and personal trainer to eat.

Many people know how to eat clean – lean meats, lots of veggies, a couple of servings of fruits and grains. However, making it delicious, and finding the time to meal prep on Sundays is the key to really sticking with the healthy eating way of life. That is where many of us fail. Even I have a hard time actually preparing a week’s worth of meals for my husband and me to take to work. Let’s just say I eat a lot of dark leafy green salad and tuna or canned chicken for lunch.

When I attended Strong, Stretched, and Centered in Hawaii back in the 90’s, they prepared our meals for us and placed them in the refrigerator daily while we were at class. It was so easy to eat clean when you had the meal right there, already prepared. I have frequently thought…if only I had a personal chef to prepare super healthy meals for my family, giving me my time to work out after a long day at the office.

Well, Eatology is that personal chef. The meals are reasonably priced, and Laurah is trying to find a way to get make them even less expensive so that everyone can afford them. The company goal is to, “Cure obesity in our lifetime.”

Not only does Eatology offer healthy, ready-to-eat meals to your doorstep, but they also offer free nutrition classes online through Periscope, and in person. Do you feel that your office could benefit from a little nutritional training? Check out the staff at Eatology.co, which is a whole other story… a very faith based, spiritual story that Laurah should tell you herself.
