So here goes!

Hi there! I'm a college student attempting the GAPS diet—from Intro. And that, my friends, is a pretty darn scary way to start a blog.

(Not sure what I'm talking about? Check here.)

Hopefully, a blog of this experience will provide several things:

• Insight! GAPS tends to be golden in theory, and clear as mud in practice. I'm looking forward to seeing people jump in and help me where I'm just missing it. Intro, especially, seems to be a bit lacking in an online community—this is my attempt at starting to resolve that. (Filling in the GAPS! Get it? Hmm? Anyone…?)
• Encouragement. College is a draining experience without a radical diet change halfway through. But I'm pretty sure there are other students out there who might be interested in giving it a go. Above all else, I intend to prove that this is POSSIBLE.
• Discipline. I am not a routine person; too much of the same and I quickly start to lose it. I'm the last person in the world who should have any success on a rigid diet. Or blogging for that matter. But I'm also highly motivated, and hopefully blogging will keep me chugging away.

My New Year's resolution was to make 2013 my year of turnaround. Welcome to my best attempts— failures and successes and everything in the middle.
