I think one of the biggest changes from our typical "healthy" eating, other than the exclusion of salt, will be the inclusion of fats that have always been on my no-no list. For instance, whole eggs and bacon are an encouraged breakfast, while I've been eating egg whites and turkey bacon for years. All meats are pretty much accepted, but only if they're natural - no processed meats, like deli meat. I can't wait to sit down to a nice steak and a sweet potato and some sauteed veggies after a hard workout and feel accomplished.
Also, "real butter" is on the Paleo-approved list for the challenge. That means unsalted butter with no additives. I will probably still cook with olive oil, mostly because I can't wrap my brain around how butter could possibly be acceptable in a healthy diet.
