meats and transition tantrums

[Guest guest]

Hi folks

talk about a more spartan diet !

we are doing the modified SCD diet

no fruits

no honey

no nuts yet (allergy)

no eggs/allergy

no dairy yet

etc

and things are going great !

we have a long list of improvements to rejoice about

he eats tons of veggies, water/broth (as bulk)

and meats/chicken, cooking oils, etc

on days my son is vegetarian

he seems to be very clearer and happier

and easier going the next day

and almost absent transition tantrums

with meat, he is less compliant and more complainy

hocus pocus or more meat deprivation in the horizon?

we have 2 trials at home with meatless days

and a meatless week

we are going vegetarian this week again

and will intro meats again to see if this is really true

any similar experiences?

any scientific explanation?

(I imagine if we go any further on this pathway

next you'll hear from me maybe the " Fasting " diet!)

Jzin,

I am thrilled that your son is doing so well.

Some kids react better to meat from animals that were not fed grain.

There are websites for meat from grass fed animals. There are also

places to get meat from wild life.

If you are not doing eggs, dairy or nuts, I would really worry about protein

sources if you decide to go all vegetarian, too.

Jzin Teng,

Without meats, your child will not get enough protein since you

are not able to use nuts, eggs, dairy or beans.

What about considering some enzymes to help break down

protein rather than eliminating it. Our bodies need some protein.
