I am looking to start Paleo, and was wondering if anyone could tell me what to stock my cupboards, fridge and freezer with, besides the obvious vegetables/fruits and lean meats. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

The following is copied from Robb Wolf's Quick Start Guide. A free download, highly recommended, everything you need to know on two pages:

2. Go shopping
Now it’s time to fill your cupboards with food worth eating.
Protein.
Ideally these options are grass fed or wild caught. If you cannot find those should you eat a bagel? No!
Conventional options are fine. Beans and rice do NOT count.
Land: Pork, beef, lamb.
Sea: Trout, salmon, shrimp, crab. You know…fishy type stuff!
Air: Chicken, turkey, duck, ostrich. I know, ostrich is flightless don’t get cheeky.
Round things out with some good quality bacon, omega-3 enriched eggs and some items like chickenapple
sausage to help you with breakfast on busy days.
Veggies.
Ideally these are local and organic, but again, this should not be a deal breaker. Our local mega-food
chain actually has the best produce outside of the farmers market, and at an amazing price. Shop with
the season, which typically means what is on sale. Mix up the colors.
Fruit.
Limit fruit to 1 serving per day if fat loss is your goal. A serving is not a whole watermelon. If you want
to screw things up and not make progress, eat all the fruit you want, it’s your nickel, ride the ride as
you like. In order of preference: Berries, melons, citrus, apples, pears. Bananas, papayas and mangoes
are great for athletes post workout but dodgy for folks who want to lose weight.
Fats.
Olive oil (extra virgin) coconut, avocado (oil and whole), macadamia (whole and oil), almonds, walnuts.
If fat loss is a goal limit nuts to 1-2 oz. per day.
Odds & Ends.
Marinara sauce, herbs, spices-curry powder, garlic, ginger, cilantro, garam massala, chili powder, black
pepper, lemon zest, allspice, cinnamon, cumin, oregano, and basil. Get at least 20 herbs and spices to
keep your cooking lively. Stock up on espresso, teas and mineral water as these are your beverages of
choice.

I'd start with finding recipes and then stock your cupboard.

I'm on a fish kick at the moment. I get Hake fillets from costco and make this: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/f...uz-Style-108045

Here's another one:

Both fit nicely into the paleo category unless you're excluding tomatoes.

Oh yes, you could substitute another meat for the fish. But I find these are great with fish. A nice, mild white fish works best.

re marinara sauce: make your own or read labels. Many have sugar in them or chemical preservatives.

re Fruit: I dont do any citrus or melons. I go with plums/prunes, berries, occasional apple or pear.

re Vegs: leafy green or cruciferous best, watch night shades

If going primal, you really shouldn't have anything in your cupboards except spices and olive oil because you should be avoiding processed foods.

If you can't buy it on the outside ring of the grocery store (excluding the deli and bakery depts), then don't eat it.
