Re: To Satnam re: meal planner

[Guest guest]

Another thought:

Do you have Excel? Stanford has a free meal planner that you can download over

the internet. A friend used it to work out 's meals for me for a while.

You probably would have fun with it. I was given the s Hopkins one and have

really had so much fun and freedom to work out meals that are fun and

interesting and are close to what the rest of us are eating.

Hi . I totally know what you mean about force feeding, meal

time should be enjoyable and for Kristan it hasn't always been a joy

and I always wonder if she just dreads seeing the spoon come towards

her mouth as she has very limited experience with the solid meals.

The whole point of being on this ratio is to get her ketones up and

we haven't really seen much of a change, we were to try the 5:1 in

early September, but we are now thinking why bother, I think we just

have to decide once and for all to start weaning her off the diet.

We have tried everything. The dietitian works everything out for

Kristan, I have never been shown how to use a meal planner, it seems

so confusing and our keto team says it is their job to just do it all

for us. I have kept every recipe of all ratios she's been on, so I

can go to her previous ratio which I am thinking of doing as her

dietitian is off next week and if Kristan keeps this up, it's a long

wait until I hear from her and I can literally feel the stress

building up when it's time to feed Kristan and she probably senses it

too!

Thanks for your input, I just may go back to the previous ratio. I

don't believe in asking for the keto team's permission if I want to

go back to the previous ratio - I will just do it, most of the time

we just feel that they are no help, I have mixed feelings about them.

I hope is doing well.
