I received an email the other day that said this.
“Yo Justin! I love pasta. I really am trying hard to drop some body fat but I’m having a hard time giving it up as I go Paleo. What can I do?”
Well, I’ve got a recipe for you guys to try. You’re going to get a great dish that includes a lot of real food. It makes a great dinner with the family, simply add your favorite protein on top (I like jumbo shrimp or wild caught salmon with this one).
For those of you following the Limitless365 Fitness Program, it’s “All Day Plate” friendly.
