I've made a couple halfhearted attempts to try SCD/GAPS and, as is usually the case when making a halfhearted attempt, things didn't work out...
Despite that, I am still enticed by the idea using one of these diets to achieve better health. Even the most effective medications I've been on have never quite dealt with all the symptoms of my disease.
However, I have very little experience with cooking. I'm almost what you would call "kitchen phobic." The idea of having to spend hours in the kitchen, preparing, cooking, cleaning up, etc. just to make a single meal or snack makes me hesitate.
For the people who have done well with these diets, how much work needs to be put in to get something out of it? Is it worth trying to force myself to become a good cook even if I don't enjoy it, or would I just be setting myself up for another failure?
