Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi Bee and others, We started the food plan five days ago. The second day my toddler was so sleepy. After resting on the couch and napping for half the day she was back to her normal self. Today she didn't feel satisfied and wanted to eat more than usual. I haven't calculated calories but she has had more ghee, coconut oil, cod liver oil and protein than she ever has. Could the low carbohydrates be causing this feeling of still being hungry? Are there any studies that show children thriving on a low carbohydrate food plan? Based on Dr. Prices discoveries I guesss there are plenty of examples. lol Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hi , Many people feel hungry when they first start on Bee's diet until they can get their fat intake up high enough. The hunger will pass as she is able to eat/tolerate more fat. There aren't any scientific studies that show that children thrive on a low carb diet, but there aren't any studies that show that they thrive on a higher carb program either. This is a comment I got from Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD when I asked him the same question. ) (a group moderator) > > Hi Bee and others, > > We started the food plan five days ago.

The Eskimo and Masai tribe children are great examples of no-carbs being healthy, since they only consumed meats and good fats. Carbs are not essential for human health anyway - see these articles: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu3_2_1.php Children needs the same set of nutrients adults do, since all human bodies are exactly the same, just like animals of the same species are in the wild. As Dr. Weston A. Price writes in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration: " We humans have the same rigid restrictions regarding food selection as the simpler forms of life when foods are evaluated from their chemical basis. " page 464 " Also, it is not necessary to adopt the foods of any particular racial stock, but only to make our nutrition adequate in all its nutritive factors to the primitive nutrition. Tooth decay is not only unnecessary, but an indication of our divergence from Nature's fundamental laws of life and health. " page 415 All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
