Guest guest Posted July 11, 1999 Report Share Posted July 11, 1999 Dear Marcie, All I can say from experience (I have a 17yr old)....I tried to do the same with my picky eater...she wanted sweets, sweets, sweets...don't get into power struggles over food. You will be sorry...I did and it was not a pretty picture around our house for many years! And the funny thing is now...she just gave them all up herself anyway...she doesn't like sweets that much now. Though her teenage diet leaves some to be desired <grin>... I didnt become the extremely healthy eater I am until I was in college so.... Just the other day I was eating broccoli and my daughter looked at it and said it looked good and could she have some (this from a former broccali-hater!)...there is hope!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 1999 Report Share Posted July 11, 1999 Dear Marcie, I think I responded before when you posted this question. I don't have magic answers, as I said, our family, children too, eat a whole foods organic diet. There are no packaged foods, 'junk' in the house so that has never been an issue. The muffins, cookies, etc. I make are from , _Baking for Health_ and contain no fat (other than avacado, tahini, almond butter, sunflower seed butter), dairy, eggs, or sugar (or other sweeteners, except dried fruit). The children have never had 'sweets' other than what they call candy, which is dried fruit, so we haven't had that issue. ly I can't imagine a 14 month old craving sweets (unless he was exposed to them already). At 14 months, my youngest was still primarily nursing, eating some steamed veggies, sweet potato, potato, split pea soup, mango, hummos (tahini and chickpea spread), a little brown rice or millet cereal (later we added brown rice noodles, pea noodles, mung bean noodles, rice cakes and crackers, nut and seed butters, tofu smoothies,). As for being around others with different eating habits, no one has ever fed my children without my permission. I let people know the children have allergies and chemical sensitivities and we bring our own snacks and food to activities or visits where there might be food they can't (or I won't allow) eat. The children (2 and 3.5) know not to accept food offered by anyone without asking me. This may seem extreme to you, but in our case celiac disease and allergies enter the picture as well as my ideas about whole foods, vegetarianism, etc., so this is how we work it. Family and friends may sometimes think we go to extremes here, but they respect that we are the parents. Also, when I know in advance what the snack or meal is going to be served on an outing, I try to bring something that looks almost the same. eg. homemade baked potato 'chips', rice noodles when the meal is wheat pasta, 'cake' with tofu icing, 'cookies', 'muffins', etc. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 1999 Report Share Posted July 12, 1999 I would just not offer any sweets at all, but rather an assortment of other foods. We " wasted " a lot of food at that age too (14 mos), maybe it just goes with the age. My daughter will eat " ice beans " (frozen green beans, cut up) and frozen peas. She really likes soybeans in their pods...fun food! She eats toast and loves ribs. She likes variety and gets really board with the same old thing. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 1999 Report Share Posted November 13, 1999 I live in the Czech Republic. All the dairy products sold in the shops are pasteurized, meat generally is quite dangerous, because the cattle gets heaps of antibiotics and hormones. There are only very few farmers who want to grow cattle naturally and feed them healthy food. If you want to get some raw products, you would have to live near such a farm. These products are not country-wide distributed. There are not farms in the area where I live but I hope I could get some eggs, some older people in the villages keep poultry.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2000 Report Share Posted February 12, 2000 Dear -you can forget about: alcohol, cigs, chocolate, caffine, juices (unless you can dilute them a little), heavy meats, spicy sauces, eating large meals in one shot, some dairy. This stuff will aggravate you and bring on some symptoms. In other words, all the fun stuff. My question/problem is there are so many restrictions that I don't know what to eat - so I end up eating ice cream and soup because it goes down easy. I'm happy that now I can eat bread, spagetti, salads and veggies again. I want to find a good nutritionist that can actually sit down with me and provide some menus specific to achalasia sufferers.

Buying from farmers markets this time of year is my favorite thing! Fresh produce, organic iwht no waxes pesticides or residues. If you're going to do one thing for health, makes sense to do them all KWIM? We are currently switching to a vegan diet as well which is amazingly easier than I thought. There aer so many products out there that youd on't even notice the difference in your eating habits sometimes. Anyhow...farmers markets have great prices on foods and if you qualify for WIC they give you vouchers for the markets in your area where you can purchase fresh, organic produce with them.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 If you cannot buy organic because it is so much more expensive try as much fresh local fruits and veggies that you can buy at a good price. Makes sure you wash them really good. Children who are raised eating veggies don't think any different. My son teethed on broccoli. Now when I am cutting it up for dinner, they grab pieces to munch on. Chop the veggies up real small and try steaming instead of boiling. Try to stay away from any refined sugar. ( I know it's in EVERYTHING). Try to stay away from canned goods because they usually have tons of salt and sugar on them. Try to stay away from breads and instead try corn tortillas. (they are the same price) Rice and beans are cheap and so good for you and your children. If you cannot buy organic meat try to at least get the leanest cut you can or stay away from it if you can. Try to stay away from dairy if you can (tons of hormones and antibiotics). Rice milk is good, sweet and not too badly priced if you can get it on sale. Oatmeal, kammut, millet are cheap and excellent for warm breakfast or with veggies. It is hard to eat healthy especially when it is so expensive to eat healthy now. I have learned there are ways around it though... had to do it myself. This is my opinion on how to eat healthy cheap.. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 >. organic foods are so much more evpensive here Amy One thing I discovered with organic and HFS shopping is that if you try and *replace* the " normal " foods we eat with the healthy version of it, it is rather expensive. When I try and eat more like we are really supposed to, we end up actually saving money. For instance, replacing milk with soy/rice/nut milks costs a bundle (especially tricky when they come in smaller sized packages). But when my husband finally stopped drinking milk (the type of guy who would stand in front of the fridge gulping down a gallon a day, easy) we dropped down to not needing very much milk at all. I actually have to dump out sour milk now. Same with cheese. The packages of organic cheese are very small and very pricey. However, if we use it more as garnish along with MORE veggies, it really does last. If you follow the guidelines for shopping the grocery store, (wishing I could remember how it works right now) where you work the perimeter of the store for the fresh food and try to stay away from the isles and end caps, and not even looking at the prepared foods, it ends up being much more workable with the budget. Also, do some comparison shopping. I found that the conventional tomatoes at my regular store were priced at $1.49 a pound but at the Whole Foods store down the street, the organic ones were only $.79 a pound. I also found that by shopping two different stores and splitting my list between them, I was really able to save a bundle. I have had a real struggle with our diets, trying to diguise things for my white bread, spagghetios eating husband. Now that I have snuck in healthier foods, he has found that he actually likes a lot of foods he always thought he didn't. But it took awhile to wean him off of even the organic spagghetioes (he won't, however, give up his Little Debbies!). Good luck and I hope you find a way for it to work for you. And I agree with the others who have mentioned the farmer's markets. Even if you cannot find " certified organic " there, they often just don't use anything on their produce. They just can't label it as organic.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 For everyone who is commenting on the pricey-aspect of buying healthy, whole-foods alternatives to the dairy "non-foods". Please know that you can make your own soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, oatmeal milk, coconut milk for a fraction of the price. You can make your own cheesy-sauce with nutritional yeast for a fraction of the cost and it tastes soooo much better than soy cheese.You can make your own seitan (seitan is a gluten-based meat substitute) - this is sooo expensive if you buy it already made and marinated. You can make your own "butter" although soy margarine is not THAT expensive. A lot of these recipes are very easy and quick. Any good vegan cookbook will have these recipes. One such book is "How it All Vegan" by Kramer and Barnard. This book also has a lot of recipes that taste like comfort foods for those of us brought up on the "American diet", there is also a section on making yummy treats for your kids. I spend about $300-$400/month on groceries and I ONLY buy organic/ whole foods. I don't think that's too bad. It can be done, you have to get creative with leftovers and plan your menus so that you use your ingreds. before they spoil. p.s. meat and fish used to be what "racked up" my grocery bill as well as those convienence foods. I'm actually spending less now! peace and love,karen Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2002 Report Share Posted August 20, 2002 I find myself drooling over the foods I can't have. I feel like the dog at the drive up window at the bank. Up here in AK the KFC is awful, but found when I was traveling to IN it was really different in that part of the country. That makes me think that maybe the gizzards and liver I get the dogs at the deli (and share with them) probably is a possible trigger too. Darn, just when I thought I found a healthy snack. We live so far from town that a mean in town is almost a necessity for me. I also found that eating the foods I am not suppose to, triggers and old Hiatus Hernia. I get so hungry for fruit that I often will buy a pineapple and eat the whole thing, core included in 2 days. I'm just trying to get off prednisone right now and have about 5 more days and am off the stuff. I can't wait. Hope the asthma part of this stuff doesn't kick up again. Has anyone found that eating the foods not on the suggested diet also makes them gain weight fast, and if sticking to the list of good foods they can drop weight? in Alaska -- KFC Kentucky Fried Chicken is probably the worst fast food I've ever seen - I finally learned just I simply cannot go there. Asthma gets worse, polyps, diarrhea. I don't know WHAT they put in their food but whatever it is it's NOT good for human consumption. We're just more sensitive to it than the rest of the pack.Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 When it comes to losing weight, we all know that cutting back on calories is critical. It takes great effort to make healthy food choices, thus it's infuriating when you're fooled by a food that sounds diet friendly but is actually loaded with calories, sugar, and fat! Here's a rundown on some of the popular offenders. I call them foods that fool. Granola -- Most brands are loaded with calories and sugar. In fact, granola is one of the most calorie dense cereals on the market. A typical ¨ø cup serving has 220 calories and 17 grams of sugar - that's more than 4 teaspoons of sugar. What's more, most people pour 2-cup portions - that's a whopping 660 calories and 51 grams sugar (12 teaspoons -- yikes!). Joy's Solution: Watch the portions. Stick with ¨ù cup or 4 tablespoons of granola... and mix with ¨ú cup of another less caloric cereal like Bran Flakes, Total, Kashi Heart-to-Heart, Wheaties, or plain Cheerios. You also can sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of granola on nonfat, flavored yogurt (again, enjoying the crunch and flavor while minimizing the amount). 2% Reduced-Fat Milk -- 2% reduced-fat milk is not that low-fat/low-calorie when you consider that whole milk is 3.3% fat.Breakdown for 1 cup milk:- Whole milk: 150 calories- 2% reduced fat milk: 120 calories- 1% reduced fat milk: 100 calories- Skim milk: 80 caloriesJoy's Solution: Switch from 2% reduced-fat milk to skim milk - and assuming you have one serving each day - at the end of the year, you'll save more than 14,000 calories and drop 4 pounds! Chicken Caesar Salads -- It's a salad, right? What could be unhealthy? Thanks to excessive dressing, croutons, and cheese, a standard chicken Caesar salad can total 1,130 calories and add more than 90 grams of fat to your diet!Joy's Solution: Request NO dressing (you'll save up to 475 calories) and lose the croutons (another 70 calorie savings). Instead, toss with 1-2 teaspoons olive oil and unlimited balsamic vinegar. This lighter version provides about 685 calories - for a savings of 445 calories. If you can't give up the Caesar dressing, at least order it on the side and use only 2 tablespoons. Some people save salad dressing calories with the dipping method - request it on the side and lightly dip your fork into the dressing before each bite. Dried Fruit -- All fruit is packed with nutrition; however, dried fruit is significantly higher in calories than fresh fruit when you calculate comparable amounts. That's because you're taking out all the moisture leaving a small piece of concentrated sugar (albeit "natural" sugar). Consider this:- 12 small pieces of dried mango = 320 calories- 2 red apples + 15 grapes + ¨ö small cantaloupe = 320 caloriesJoy's Solution: If you're watching your weight, eat fresh fruit! You'll get much more volume and satisfaction. Yogurt Covered Nuts -- This yogurt snack is strictly food for the soul! It's filled with calories, sugar, fat... and clearly NO active cultures. In fact, 20 yogurt covered nuts = 460 calories, 32 grams fat, 14 grams saturated fat, and 8 teaspoons sugar.Joy's Solution: Skip the candy and enjoy the real thing: take one cup nonfat, flavored yogurt and mix with one tablespoon peanuts, soy nuts, chopped walnuts or slivered almonds. Only 160 calories. Banana Chips -- Bananas fried in oil and sugar - over the top! Consider that 1 cup typically provides 300 calories, 20 grams fat, 18 grams saturated fat (that's the artery clogging type), and 19 grams sugar (4.75 teaspoons).Joy's Solution: Enjoy a fresh, frozen banana for only 110 calories (no fat or added sugar). For an extra treat, try a sliced banana dipped in 2-3 tablespoons of Hershey's Light chocolate syrup - my kids love it. Trail Mix -- Although packed with healthy nutrients and fiber, traditional trail mix is also loaded with calories that add up quickly. In fact, ¨ö cup typically equals 350 calories (that's the same number of calories as 11 cups of air-popped popcorn).Joy's Solution: Keep trail mix portions to ¨ù cup servings. When you're looking for a snack with greater volume, enjoy 5-6 cups of air popped popcorn. But if weight is not an issue, go for it. Fruit Smoothies -- It's true, fruit smoothies can provide a lot of nutrition, but they pack in the calories as well. One 24-ounce smoothie provides about 450 calories. That's the same amount of calories in 10-12 doughnut holes! Joy's Solution: Save fruit smoothies for occasional indulgences or make less caloric homemade versions using 1-2 servings fruit, ¨ö cup skim milk, and ¨ö non-fat flavored yogurt. For a thicker consistency, pre-freeze fruit and/or add ¨ö cup crushed ice.Tim Parsons knoxville,tn 37931 865-588-2465 x107 work www.knoxville1.com Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yeah, and then there are the new Genetically Modified foods that No ONE knows how will affect our food chain --just for companies like Monsanto to control more of our food supply and seeds!  It is time we start NOT supporting these big food companies as much as possible, and talking to our politicians, who often are clueless like a lot of people!  Just complaining is not enough any more, as they are so strong that they think they can control us no matter what. I live in the Philippines, and generally people here are captive audiences to whatever is in the markets!  They are not yet aware of what happens to their food before it is canned, boxed, etc., and partly because it is a culture that so far has not come of age as far as getting information to people.  They are true victims, with a few exceptions.  Keep them dumb for as long as you can and you can control them! So Americans and those who aren't always so blinded by blitz need to keep up the pressure!  And, yes, grow your own, for at least it's probably some better for you.  But it's tough for some to do that, I know, if not impossible!  And it's work!  I thought I'd try growing some of my greens here.  Ha!  They don't survive in this climate!  Either too wet and drown or whatever.  Perhaps I need to learn as there is a farm that does grow lettuce and has a restaurant where you can get fresh organic salads with beautiful edible flowers on top!
