Preparing your own food takes time, just like any dish. I don't know the Paleo diet, but if you're a raw vegan, for example, spending your time cutting cucumbers, well if you were on a SAD diet, you'd be washing chicken, preparing an alfredo sauce or something, standing at the stove cooking the meat, etc. Every type of cuisine that you want to cook at home takes time. It just might seem more menial because you are peeling over and over or chopping. But I don't mind. Actually, I really dislike cooking, but I find it so much easier (and, of course, though I started my raw diet today, I have been eating fruits and veggies for a long time!) to spend 5 minutes to rinse off all the grapes I just bought and put them in a tupperware in the fridge so I can grab some whenever I want, than to have to think about boiling the water, when is it done boiling, how long does this have to cook, managing two or three different components to a meal and when they'll be done!
Sorry I just went off on a tangent there, but to me, this is SUCH an easier diet compared to a normal one! And blending and juicing is so fun!
