all natural mom's guide to the feingold diet - chapter

how we started the diet

though it meant wasting money on food that was already paid for

we had shelves full of macaroni

cheese

the “fruit” snacks of course. i thought these were

packaging said it contained lots of vitamin and even contained a full serving

fruit. i thought he was getting food from all of the five food groups so we

i gave all the unapproved food to an extended

anyway. sometimes people feel bad giving away food they know is bad

food wasn't going to change how they ate so i didn't worry it. you could

also donate the food to a local food pantry

to the basics like meat

any dyes. some people choose to use up the food they already have and then

start the diet after that

did we start out doing the diet percent

read through all the materials and understand the diet. meanwhile

was not easy to start the diet. feingold lists out the approved foods

own personal shopping lists by store which i've posted on my blog

when we first started the diet

these scooby snack graham cracker cookies that my son loved. they weren't

knew that dyes were bad and i wanted to avoid those

artificial flavors yet. so

the diet and he started to calm down

those artificial flavors and i finally into the diet

have fruit. it just didn't seem american. we've all been raised to believe that

fruit is

in the first few weeks of the diet

to let him still have his nightly snack of apple . i remember writing on

eating apples every day. they explained that i couldn't expect success if i was

only trying the pro halfway. i decided to pull the apples

feingold diet

how i got my son to do the diet

how did i convince my son to start the diet

i explained to him why we were doing the diet. i

told him what dyes were made of and that they were bad

this further as he got older. i told him that dyes made it

control himself and that this diet was going to help him behave better. there

very quickly after starting the diet that he was better able to control

they started asking him on play dates

it wasn't to convince him to do the diet. he

the gold diet.” his favorite part was that he was able to eat ice cream

candy again. i had previously stopped letting him have those because i knew he

approved ice cream and candy

people all the things he avoided on the diet

i have sugar!” he was in heaven

daddy's food

knowing he could not have it. one thing you do is leave one top shelf for

allergies to food. some people tolerate certain

that god created us all different and he gave us free will to make choices for

will use judgent in how they tell others healthy eating. i don't

this food

to eat healthy

shortly after starting the diet

came home from the store

person wasn't convinced of the diet. he decided to give the yogurt to my son

clothing store. my son was running in and out of the clothing spinning

then started to climb up a ladder he found. we pulled him down and reprimanded

artificial flavors!” i couldn't help but laugh

did i put all of my kids on the diet

eighteen months. i did not see any reason why not to put her on the diet too. i

on stage one though. she ate a lot of stage two fruits. i couldn't keep apple

juice of lemon

apple juice again. my son was established on the diet and didn't get upset

daughter started having big meltdowns around this time. i thought it was from

starting school and having a new baby in the house. i didn't it to the

apple juice till much later

she was very young when we started the diet

some other digestive and immune issues. we've found that she really needs to

avoid many stage one foods including apples and berries

most part eat feingold-acceptable meals at home. who wants to cook two separate

away from home. keep in mind that this diet is a learning process for

mcdonald's contained all the five food groups. fries were my

feingold says to avoid fast food completely the

first six weeks of the diet if you can. i avoided fast food as by default because

i didn't want to hear the whining from the back while i was going through the

following the diet most of the time at home

talks food additives and all the junk they put in our food. see my notes

under the “list of resources” section at the end of the book

i tried to to feingold-approved fast food. when i got pregnant

son's behavior as a baby. he was much calmer than my older son

diet while nursing

it was bad enough that i just stayed on the diet percent. i did not want to

otherwise sle really and was a happy baby. the way she reacted when i ate

off diet was the exact same way my oldest son was as a baby. i was eating dyes

artificials every day back then. now i know why he was such a difficult

baby

do husbands do the diet

what you preach. in following the diet they are also showing support

fully on the diet. at the very least

commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. you certainly wouldn't wave beer

child has to give up a favorite food

i had a neighbor whose young kids had to start a

gluten-and-dairy-free diet

many people starting the diet are doing so with

their diet than a fourteen-year old. however

emotions. educate your child on why the diet would be beneficial. they are old

are some people who do both the feingold diet and medication

to wean their children off the medication after starting the diet because they

see such great results

medication. some doctors do not support the feingold diet

growing number who do. if a change in diet does work

chapter

once i signed up

e-mailed feingold and requested the log in name and password

association's web site. i couldn't wait to get on the message board to read

ask questions. i got some ideas on getting started and i slowly emptied my pantry

just get rid of it

i watched my son

decided that i didn't want to feed him foods that i knew were bad

out

basically

were doing

family member who was struggling financially. she greatly appreciated it so i didn't feel as

bad wasting all that money and i figured her kids were eating this stuff

figure everyone needs to come to that place

i managed as best i could until our feingold

materials arrived. i read all i could on the feingold message board. i tried to

not completely. it took me a couple weeks to

to eat. our foods was forty minutes away so i was only making a

twice a month

i had to figure out which stores carried the

foods i was looking for. then i had to locate those foods within those stores. it

don't tell you where to find them. i needed more organization. i made out my

when you first go shopping

foods

why i love foods. most of their foods are feingold approved

feingold-approved but when i read the label

as

wasn't completely convinced of that either. i hated telling him he could not

the feingold message board and asking if it was really necessary to do stage

completely. i explained how my son still had some issues

that my son indeed had issues

he was four and i was mom. he was going to eat what i gave him. okay

little more than that

very grateful. if you have older kids

have to deal

later in this chapter

cooperation

was probably a better way to say that

told it to him like it was. he knew he got into trouble a lot. he recognized

himself

like many kids

attention he was getting. i was making new foods

at new stores

he wasn't getting into trouble any more. he was staying out of time out. mommy

wasn't yelling anymore. mommy was happy. he started to make friends at school

was feingold's biggest fan. he would tell family and friends that he was on

would get extremely hyper after eating them

i didn't know what it was in them

thought)

i cleared the shelves of most of the unapproved foods

at least those that were my son's favorites. there was no way i was going to

leave one of his favorite foods sitting on the shelf

fill in the blank. i explained to my son that people have

foods and other people cannot. i think it's important

especially. so many kids have allergies these days. plus

to judge other people

ourselves. i do tell them the truth though and when they get older i hope they

looks down on us

kind. jesus didn't come into the

world to condemn the world

other parents easily feel

condemned

hearing feingold. that's why i started my blog. instead of pushing my

views on others

read it

some people like to say that they grew up eating all

way that they are aware of. now that my kids are older

question

have to explain that they are bad

some people just choose to eat them anyway because they may not know how

bad they are

an infraction

shortly after

them around

him. he looked up and said

at the time

didn't want to make two different meals. she was not hyper at all but i knew

that the chemicals were not

my son

when she was three

if someone else was having something he could not. i did notice that my

had no signs of hyperactivity. i didn't see feingold as anything but a

healthier way of eating

some people decide only to put their target child

on feingold because of cost

concerns. they don't feel they afford to buy feingold-approved foods

they have older children and don't feel that they would comply

it's entirely up to you. many families do

meals? other family members may decide to eat whatever they want when they are

everyone. while other members of the family may not be on board in the beginning

they may come around later

mcdonald's

never gained weight. i was heavily involved in sports. i figured if i wasn't

my eating habits. i did not want to eat unacceptable foods in front of him. plus

if i was asking my son to make these changes and lecturing him on the dangers

i did

hidden in the pantry in the beginning

them. i'm not condemning anyone who does eat unapproved foods in front of their

kids

today

asked

that?” they're used to eating whatever i'm eating

my own detox

drive through

ruined!” i thought. what was going on? i had eaten mcdonald's many times before

without a problem. i think this was detox. my body had just spent the last six

weeks cleaning itself out from all the junk i had been eating my life. when

i fed it mcdonald's

garbage

by the way

day

his body “adjusted”. of course

anyways

child

was a boy! imagine that. all boys weren't so bad after all. i continued the

it wasn't until my fourth child that i really

connected what i ate

my other kids

sleep that night and forget mcdonald's. if i ate mcdonald's

to need to put on a poncho because he spit up like crazy

artificials

take a much shorter nap

deal

i also noticed that when i eat something with

really bizarre dreams that

night. it's one of the ways i know when something has artificials in it

if i have a nightmare

members have reported the same thing

some husbands do and some do not. some will eat

clean at home

family? yes. i think as leaders of the home

example

child. they are letting them know that they are important and worth making

changes for

i think it also shows love and respect to the wives

who are the ones at home

new meals that their wives have made

recipes). dads

likely follow your example

in front of an alcoholic whom you loved

them. show them the same kind of love and respect that you would want to be

shown

garage one afternoon to find her husband sitting eating his mcdonald's in the

garage. she told him he probably didn't need to do that

sensitive than others). she thought it was really of him to be so

considerate of the kids though

how to deal

younger kids

seen in anyone

have some cooperation issues. it's easier to get a four- year-old to change

been done

differently. they may not be hyper but they usually have trouble concentrating

focusing in school. they may also have trouble controlling their anger

enough to understand. let them do their own research as well. watch some of the documentaries together that are listed at the end of this book

if the child is

on medication

talk to your doctor first before stopping any

kids are unnecessarily prescribed adhd medication every day

i don't have any experience

have unpleasant side effects

have heard from several of those parents. medications are not the cure all. with

any medical issue

out what is causing the issues in the first place

these other chemicals are the direct cause of their adhd symptoms. it might be

worth a try to remove the chemicals first before trying medications
