Pretty In Paleo

Hi! I'm Renee Prescott...stay at home Mom, wife, food lover, and now blogger. I started my Facebook page Pretty In Paleo back in March of 2013. I was looking for a little motivation and incentive to getting myself back to healthy. With the growing traffic and positive feedback on my recipes, I was inspired by all of you to start a food blog.

I'm a self-taught cook, started at the age of 5 with my Easy Bake Oven. I would make the driest, nastiest cakes and pies, but my parents would always eat them with a smile.

I have worked in the Health and Nutrition Field for most of my years. I was certified through the Zone Diet, and worked for them for 5 years, up until the company was bought out and moved far away.

I have always been a small figured gal. Five feet 4 inches tall and weighed 130 soaking wet. After my first child in 2000, I started putting the weight on. I would eat at fast food joints a few times each week. I found the love of my life and we enjoyed eating out almost every night, whether it be pizza delivery or a Chinese buffet. Things went spiraling out of control for the next few years.

After our daughter was born in 2011, I started experiencing sever back pain. I went to physical therapy, and had gone for numerous joint injections. I started taking pain meds and Cymbalta for what doctors thought was fibromyalgia. My body was broken, my weight was at its highest ever and I was miserable…Up until my neighbor introduced me to the Paleo Lifestyle.

So here I am now, down 100 pounds since March 2013. I no longer need PT, pain medication, injections, or Cymbalta. My energy is that of a toddlers and I look 10 years younger. I am happy and healthy, and my last physical proved that with perfect numbers in my blood work results.

Thanks for taking interest in my blog, and I hope you will trust my recipes enough to try them and hopefully love them!
