I recently watched this documentary on Netflix and want to "try" and incorporate this type of diet into my family life (with the blessing of children's family doctor). Even if I just get to the elimination of refined sugars I think that would be an improvement in their overall health/behaviour. Many in the Autism/ADHD world are finding dietary choices key in managing their symptoms
I am a bit worried about weekends at Dad's and their beloved McDonald runs, but I am not going to let it deter me and there is nothing I can do about it anyway. And this is my choice, not his. Also disclaimer, over the past year while I was struggling financially I was stretching my food budget with not so healthy choices as in Kraft Dinner and a ton of pasta, potatoes and rice to fill their bellies, so this maybe a hard sell for the kids on my end.
Anyone here have their children on special diets or completely different diets? Is it easy/hard with having 2 homes? Are upset tummies part of it?
Is anyone on a ketogenic type diet? Any suggestions or tips and tricks on how to do this and make it palatable for children or even yourself?
Also want to add that one of my children is underweight for his age (other is of average weight) so I wont be monitoring their quantity of food just the quality of it.
