GAPS Diet: Gut and Psychology Syndrome

4. Maintenance Phase

Next is the maintenance phase or the full GAPS diet. In this phase, people are encouraged to eat specific foods, including hormone-free grass-fed meat, animal fats, fish, fermented and raw vegetables, and some nuts, and nut flours. There are other guidelines, too, including avoiding meat and fruit together, eating animal fats and bone broth at every meal, and consuming as much fermented food as you can tolerate. This phase can take as many as two years to complete.
