Try more vegetables. like green beans and winter squash.

I agree with Carol.....you can add pureed cooked veggies into his meat

patties pretty easily or make a meatloaf. Have you tried the sneaky

pancakes?

I personally wouldn't worry about the fat unless your DS is really

overweight. Most of the sources of fat on SCD are healthy sources and

everything is soooo easy to digest, the fat helps to keep our kids

feeling full and satisfied. I lost 20 lbs on SCD never worrying about

fat and I always felt hungry when I ate meals lower in fat.

Gloria,

You're not using any of the squashes..... is there some reason why not? Will he

not eat them? You could substitute cooked squash for some of the fruit you're

already including..... and cut back on peanut butter, if you're concerned about

too much fat. If he has yeast problems, I would be cautious of the raw foods....

as Sheila said earlier today to someone else, raw is definitely harder to digest

and will end up feeding the yeast beasts if his digestive tract can't handle it.

Is he taking acidophilus? Have you considered the SCD nut yogurt?

Need more carbs, less fat - Help

Since logging onto FITDAY, I now see that my son is not getting

enough carbs and getting too much fat (most of which are from his

pancakes).

On a typical day my son eats several turkey slices, 3 Midas gold

pancakes, an apple, 2-3 oz apple cider, a pear, 6 raw baby carrots,

4 almond flour cookies, a few spoons peanut butter, raw green

pepper, " breaded " chicken cutlet (or beef patty or homemade sausage

etc). I am trying to keep him low fruit as he is yeasty so adding

more carbs with fruit is out.

Any ideas? Any help is appreciated!,
