The problem with GAPS is that, for me, it seemed to result in energy problems after a few months, and it's so rigid that it results in total gluttony when you give it a break. My solution for the next little while is to adhere to GAPS during the work week, and continue a gluten and dairy free diet on the weekends. (During which I will keep a food journal to mind what I eat.)
With that in mind, I'm thinking through my Spring GAPS meal plan. I found last year that the soups and stews that stand me in good stead throughout the winter just don't work in the warmer months. Here is an attempt at a better plan, centered around one roast chicken (for one person...).
This meal plan, incidentally, ties together the GAPS, Harcombe and Blood Type diets. We'll see how it goes!
