Hi Tracey,

Cut out the carbs and sub in raw fruits and veggies. The carbs will only

do damage to his body and pancreas, besides making him overweight. If

you can't cut out the carbs then at least reduce them and try and get

away from anything processed (store bought pastas, white bread, refined

sugars). Make your own pastas and breads if you can using whole grains

that you have soaked and preferrably sprouted. Try to stay away from

wheat and use either kamut or spelt.

My now 24yo son went through periods in his childhood when he was chubby. The pediatrician (this is before I knew better than to take him to one<G>) even said to put him on a diet. But he'd chub out and then in a bit he'd have a growth spurt and get skinny as a rail. Then he'd chub out again and then have another growth spurt. So I'm not so sure this is something I'd put a lot of attention on. Feed the best food you can and let his body take care of itself. never got anything at home except whole grains and homemade breads (for carbs, anyway)....we didn't keep processed things in the house. But he still would chub out and then grow and get skinny again. He was about 16 before he had the final growth spurt that did away with the chubs. He kept getting taller until he was about 20 or so, but never got chubby again.

====================================

Hi Tracey,

Steamed potatoes is a better choice than white bread, true. And it will

be better for them but only in moderation. Potatoes are still gluey and

have a tendency to glue up out innards. As long as they are getting

plenty of fiber and fruits they should be alright.

Kamut is original wheat that originally came from Egypt. Pre-technology

wheat if you will and spelt is pre-technology wheat from ancient Persian

(Iran - Iraq area).
