If you’re transitioning away from the Standard American Special to the healthy Paleo lifestyle, one thing that’s rather important to do sooner than later is to make sure you take a good look at the macro nutrients of your meals.

Taking the focus away from baking (or buying) treats and eating them and redirecting it to other festive activities can prove quite an effective tool for keeping spirits in the Christmas mood!
