tequila, vodka, and gin mixed with lime and seltzer are the lesser of the evils when consumed in moderation. Sometimes, too, spouses and families, who are not necessarily looking to make the same change, can make it tough. Rodgers recommends "doing it quietly for yourself first—don't try to get the whole family on board immediately." She sets clients up with strate- gies for success, like slowly introducing new ways of preparing dishes—for instance, making pasta with meat sauce for the family, and zucchini pasta for themselves. "You can still make it work and make everyone happy," she tells them. "The key is to make it a gradual pro- cess. Once results start to show, it is often the case that spouses follow suit." And, yes, the amount of planning and prep work can be daunting. Like anything worth doing, it takes effort. And commitment. IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN FOOD Sure, the "diet" piece of being Paleo is huge, but it's really a whole lifestyle—one that includes a lot of exercise, sleep, relaxation, and play time—you know, all those things that make you feel good. Many Paleo followers incorporate ancestral movements into their exercise regimes—the idea being that, in combination with foods that fuel healthy muscle growth, things like squatting, jumping, lifting, sprinting, etc. are respon- sible for the strong, lean bodies common among our Paleolithic ancestors. In Rodgers's words: "In my practice I always talk about sleep, exercise, caffeine intake, stress manage- ment, meditation. There are so many pieces to it that are not about diet. We don't end up talking about nutri- tion until the very end of the consult. Paleo is bigger than diet—it's a whole commitment to being proactive and taking the reins of your health for yourself." 132 | MAY + JUNE 2015 nshoremag.com 132 nshoremag.com November 2012 Create your special memories at Y o u r N e w E n g l a n d G e t a w a y f o r a l l S e a s o n s 603-744-9111 • www.newfoundlake.com 1030 Mayhew Turnpike, Bridgewater, NH 03222 Chuck Kendrick Photography Allow us to create your dream wedding and reception with Old World charm and elegance.
