starting diet again

[Guest guest]

hi to all

my six year old son is going to be starting the diet again in

january. when we were on it before we did not get much help from a

dietician because there were alot of staff changes going on. we did

see his drop attacks decrease so we are hoping for more help this

time around. we are going to start it at hopkins this time so i am

hoping for much more help. so i truly see myself starting with a

blank slate. i would love any imput from anyone of what i can do to

be ahead of the game for when we get started.

i have also heard of some great recipes like egg plant french fries.

if anyone has some good recipes that i can practice with before the

big day that would be great. that was one of the problems that we

had last time. i was not very creative and meals were very much the

same one after the other.

any help or advise would be greatly appreciated

thank you

There are some recipes in the files section Kim, have you looked there? Also

there is a sep yahoo webring called 'ketorecipes' that one of the Moms from here

set up a while ago.

I am not one to be offering much cooking advice I'm afraid - I'm awful in the

kitchen, but one meal I have managed for that he really likes is chicken

nuggets, which are basically chicken pieces rolled in mayo and coated with

crushed pork rinds and fried in oil. You can use egg instead of the mayo but we

find it goes thru too much protein allowance.

Another favourite of 's is his keto ice cream, which is whipped cream

(if whipped first I've found it doesn't need stirring while setting) mixed with

oil (about half the cream amount, helps prevent it setting like concrete...) and

a small amount of yoghurt or dairy food to flavour/sweeten it. It uses up a heap

of fat content for the meal, so he has this one a lot, if he wants a change I

give him a milkshake which is cream, a bit of sweetener, and a small amount of

cocoa. He sometimes likes it heated as hot chocolate, but it is nearly Summer

here in NZ so he doesn't have them hot very often at the mo.

I also make him some choc muffins now and then, either the basic ones which

are oil and whipped eggwhite mixed together with sweetner and cooking choc,

(come out sort of like choc meringues) or more recently I have been adding gound

almonds (thanx to use as a type of flour. Those ones come out heavier,

and more like proper cakes. He has both types split in half with whipped cream

on top.

Breakfast is the same every day here - egg cream and oil mixed together and

fried to make a 'pancake' with some carb on the side - usually some banana, now

and then a few small crackers. He has this for dinner too actually, (just before

bedtime) but in sl smaller portions.

Best of luck with the new diet initiation
