We avoid 211 which is a perservative in liquids (like soft drink & cordials)
It is very nasty and can alter your DNA. We now buy organic, home made cordial for our kids, and the occasional store bought one without 211.
I've stopped buying:
all snack foods like museli bars, le snacks, chips, shapes etc.
those continental side dish things.
meat that is already flavoured ie satay sticks as they are a chemical ****tail.
As yet I haven't gone as far as eliminating with fruit and vegies but will look into it soon.
I bake a lot more for lunchbox snacks. Muffins, cookies or cakes. I've been making my own bread too. I love it straight out of the oven for lunch so that keeps me motivated lol
Am nak atm so don't have book with numbers sorry. Fed Up is Sue Dengates book. I've found it to be very informative.
strawberries - 1-2 max a day and only once a week.
dried fruit, especially aprocots. sultanas seem ok not sure why.
icy poles - DS thinks the hydrolyte icypoles are great so I keep those in the freezer instead of the normal sort.
fruit juice, especially citrus is limited in this house as well.
custard powder depends on the brand. There is on called birds i think that comes in a tin, which doesnt have as many colours as the others. I cant have 123 or 124 so we dont get a lot of anything that has those in them, and I reckon we dont have custard more than 1 or 2 times a year anyway.
DS mostly likes to eat fruit and with most of it he is fine.
Ive been pretty lucky when it comes to DS. Nothing really sends him hyper. Though in saying that he is one fussy kid. He doesnt like chocolate or lollies and mostly sticks to the same diet of healthy foods. Even a few chips here and there dont seem to bother him or change his moods.
Though i bet when DD is up to speed ill have the opposite on my hands with her.. she already has a sweet tooth! So will keep an eye on this thread!
