Hi all,
Does anyone here have their kids eating - dare I say it - a Peat diet?
My 14-year-old is Peat eating with me and I want to make sure she is not missing anything important for her.
It is one thing to experiment with one's own body but I don't want to run any risks with her - not that her diet was great previously. She had been eating typical teenage fare - pizza, burgers and fries etc. and has cut all that out. Since cutting out a lot of crap she had gone down to a size 7 from busting out of size 9. She looks and feels so much better and is much more active again. The improvement for her has been swift - much quicker than mom!
Right now, she eats milk, OJ, chocolate (syrup made from cocoa and sugar), eggs, potatoes, steak, scallops (one a week or so) ice cream (haagen daz), apple sauce, grapes on occasion, white rice on occasion, coffee once in a while and tortilla chips with cheese on occasion. We don't eat much cheese because I've not been able to locate a good source. She also gets coconut oil, salt and butter. No supplements.
Also, I stopped giving her gelatin when I read a quote from Peat about not giving it to children, however, I'm going to start making home made gummy bears because I'm thinking it would be good for her to have this in her diet - especially when eating muscle meat. We both love a rare steak. I've not yet begun making bone broth but will get there eventually.
Also, she won't go for the raw carrot or carrot salad, as much as I've pushed that one. I need to pick my battles.
Your feedback is most welcomed, and especially from those who also have children/family members eating a Peat inspired way.
Thanks in advance.
