Comment on Our Foods List by Lindsey

I recently (not because of any issues, other then just feels right) have elimiated most foods that are not natural for a wild omnivore animal. I think about the omnivore animals out there (because that is what we are after all) and most of them eat a majority of raw fruits and veggies (plant life) and a small amount of meat/fish/poultry. I cook our meat/fish/poultry, but I don’t feel we need to eat it at every evening meal. I have noticed that when my children are on this diet of more natural foods they just have an overall positive day, however when we have days where some other processed foods are eaten more then the natural ones, they have sibling bickering and other complainy type days. I don’t make them eat this diet. If we attend a party or resturant meal, the kids are able to eat whatever is offered and they desire. They are not limited to ONLY this more natural diet, however at home the options are ONLY healthy natural choices. They were not always on this diet, we have had our fair share of fast food (unfortunately) so to the parents that think altering their child’s diet is impossible, it’s not, I did it slowly over the corse of 6 weeks and it was fairly painless for them. I’m not sure they even noticed they are eating FAR MORE raw fruits and veggies then before! And I lost 10 pounds without ever feeling hungry, tired, grumpy or any other negative emotion. I just stuffed my face left and right with fruits and veggies and was SUPRISED to find the weight shedding! I will print off your list and aim for it when we do have those processed meals. THANKS!

We have seen great changes in our son in the first 3 weeks, and even more in 6 weeks!! the first thing we noticed at 3 weeks what that our son who normally took up to 2 hours to fall asleep was on his way to dream land in 15-20 minutes after crawling under the covers! This told us we were on the right track and continued our strict diet. We are almost to the point of trying to test some items, but as my son, who is 9, knows it can come with a price. He is satisfied with the results and might be willing to stick to what we know is safe!
thank you for all the wonderful information and links and support!www.
