Thank you for taking the time to read the GAPS Diet: Nutrient filled recipes aimed at Rapid Gut Repair, I know it was informative and able to provide you with all of the tools you need to achieve your goals. We hope that you now have a better understanding of what the GAPS Diet is, who the diet is for, and what the protocol is to achieve long-lasting gut health without being inundated with an abundance of old and incorrect information that takes up your time to sort through between what is fact and what is fiction.
This diet, when strictly followed, will lead you on the right path to a healthy and functioning digestive system. This diet is not low-carb or Paleo, although some recipes may fall under one of the latter categories; foods that are not allowed while on the GAPS Diet because they are hard for your system to digest.
An ideal time frame to stick to the GAPS Diet is anywhere from 1 year to the rest of your life. Some people may just choose to stay on it until their digestive symptoms are relieved, but to achieve lasting relief this diet will need to implement it as your new lifestyle; if you begin to eat grains and high-processed foods again, there is a good chance your system will return to its dysfunction. While our modern diets are high in a variety of foods that wreak havoc on our systems, we can take control of what we put in our mouths and see a different outcome from our usual sluggish and sick lives.
Integrative Nutrition quotes, “The only way to really know if this approach works is to try it out for yourself. Everybody is different. You might be thinking, isn’t there a simple solution that works for everyone? The answer is no, because of bio-individuality…. each unique person has different physical, emotional, and mental needs. The GAPS Diet is no different – it may be hugely beneficial for some people, and detrimental for others. And still for others, it will be neutral – not especially helpful or harmful.” Just remember that the first few days of starting anything new is the hardest! Preserve through the first week, and we guarantee your path to a healthy gut should be smooth sailing.
