Errr ... I'm not a good one to ask that, because I have a husband who is currently semi-unemployed and really likes to cook. And he's very enthusiastic about trying this out. So, he prepares our dinners. I've made breakfast, since I can scramble eggs. Which is pretty much the extent of my cooking ability.

But that aside, I don't see why preparing food for the SB diet would take that much longer. What am I overlooking?

Granted, you can't rely on microwaved potatoes or quick pasta meals (the other major components of my considerable cooking repertoire ) but in general SB relys on normal foods - lean meats, fish, most veggies - so in theory I would think it shouldn't take all that long to prepare simple meals.
