1-Week Free GAPS Diet Meal Plan

John and I have been falling on and off the bandwagon. We're hopping, if you will. Sometimes, fauxtatoes grace our dinner plate. Sometimes, ice cream. Fries. I don't know what is happening to us. Lack of discipline!

And I find that the more sugar / processed foods we eat, the more we want. It was so nice to see my pants getting big and my belt loop getting tighter.. so we're going to start fresh. ish.

This week, I have fully planned with full detail our meal plan. If you're considering the GAPS diet, consider this a free meal plan! People sell these things for ridiculous prices. Hence why we don't have one... now, I'm getting creative & resourceful & learning from my mistakes.

So here we go, filling in the GAPS for the week of September 17th!
