I'm glad you posted this menu, Gae. I had wanted to ask you if you completely grain and potato free or if you were including some starches. Do the oats, potatoes, etc. seem to affect the behavior of your more hyperactive children? I'm trying to tweak our diet. We were eating almost totally grain/starch free, then had some problems and added quite a bit back in, but I saw a return of hyperactivity. Sugar, of course, is the worst enemy. But I'm trying to find a happy medium where we can all be healthiest and happiest.
Dear Angel,
We have never actaually eliminated potatoes from our new diet. Frankly the cost of not having them was just not a possibility for us.
some weeks we have more than others and I think we feel a bit heavy with them, but I have not noticed any hyperactivity with them.
What I have noticed is the behavioural problems become evident and not only with the little ones when we have sugar (chocolate our favourite) and the few times we have had wheat products.
We are only now introducing oats and I have been soaking them after reading Nourishing Traditions. Have you read this? I am in the process of evaluating if soaking and fermenting of grains will be a positive thing for us. I would be open to discussion about this verses entirely grain free if you have an opinion.
I do think we have to find what works for our families and not feel obligated to just do it because others say so.
I have been encouraged by your own journey with this too
Blessings
Gae
I made the chocolate chip cookies today. Sadly I found them rather flat. Did you as well? The taste was very good. I had to use maple syrup as I was out of agave... I don't know if that made the difference or not.
Just wondering how your turned out.
The other recipes I have tried, my boys have LOVED. So thank you so much for this!
Jill
