What do typical 4 year olds eat?! ;-)

Sample Diet ( per Dr. G's guidelines)

Hi All,

Would anyone be willing to post or email me offline a *typical* weekly

diet of their child? Some days, I feel like we are doing good, pushing

the protein, little bit of carb (NO WHOLE GRAINS) and limited sugar.

Then I'll start to think " Oh, if he can have rice krispies with soy

milk, why not soy ice cream with a wafer cone? " ...Or, " Oh, he's had a

lot of protein today and enough veggies, how about a chocolate chip

cookie?(gasp) "

And then I feel like it could become a slippery slope of justifying

what foods are OK per Dr. Goldberg's guidelines. Somedays I just want

my son to eat like any typical 4 year old

I know all the rules, I am just looking for some new ideas (or maybe

the menu is getting redundant).

Thanks in advance to all the Moms and Dads-you truly have been

lifesavers to our family!!

Ditto on what you said. I am having quite a time with my son's diet, also.

He's starting to have constipation issues, which he has never had. Cutting out

the whole grains and cutting down on fruit has made it difficult for him to get

the fiber. He's actually started to eat a few new veggies--cucumbers and red

and yellow bell peppers--along with his usual carrots, but it doesn't seem to be

enough fiber. I wonder how much sugar is actually in the peppers. They taste

sweet to me.

I'd love to know which restaurant chains have been good matches for the diet.

We have found that Outback Steakhouse and Chili's have been decent places to eat

out. We ask both places to hold the BBQ sauce and we bring our own sauce to

pour on top. We go ahead and get French fries with it. Apparentely, most

French fries are ok.

I'd love to know where else people have gone to eat.

I find most high end Italian Restaurants are willing

to work with you. The sauces are generally low in

preservatives and you can request dairy free products.

a local restaurant that we frequent even allowed me to

explain the diet to the chef that then requested we

call ahead and he would prepare a meal. most of the

chains use prepared sauces and such and the kitchen

staff does not have a clue as to the ingredients.
