Yes,it is possible!!! I know GAPS seems overwhelming at first, but it’s amazing how it really does work! Keep us posted on how things are going!!!

@Nicole,

Nice to hear from you!!! I totally know where you’re at; my daughter was there until she was about 3. She was very carb-addicted. When we went “cold turkey” I did just have to toughen up and let her get really hungry….for a day or two. By then, she wanted to eat whatever was served and gobbled it up. It’s funny; she is now the biggest meat eater there ever was! She loves her veggies too….because those are the only options around here! Nuts and some fruit are also available, but initially she didn’t even eat fruit when we were getting her off of starches and sugars.

It’s hard at first, but really worth it. I think it’s reasonable. I think of my brother, who is now almost 20, but was totally carb-addicted as a kid. As the youngest of 4, he pretty much got to eat whatever he wanted. I used to say he loved to eat anything “white”.

I can tell you right now that looking back, he wishes he would have been broken of the habit earlier before he got to the point where he was suffering from asthma, lethargy, foggy brain, etc. He’s suffered from candida as well. So, as with all things concerning kids, it’s always easier to do things earlier than later!

I would recommend soups (homemade with real stock) during the transition timej. Most kids who aren’t big meat eaters will still eat soup with small bits of meat and veggies. The broth makes the meat more digestible as well. It’s also very filling and seems to satisfy carb cravings. Coconut oil and good fats also really help keep kids satisfied.

If you do have bread, it can be served after the meal is eaten to your satisfaction. What will happen over time is that the child’s body will actually crave the nourishing food. Bread doesn’t have to be totally taboo….but it can be a “motivating tool” for getting the other food in.

Please keep me posted on how it goes!

I have a two year old who basically shuns anything with meat/chicken/fish/eggs…. He often just eats bread and butter with milk when we have a dinner that includes these high quality proteins. He has a major sweet tooth, but I really don’t keep much junk in the house. I should probably just toughen up and let him get really hungry. What’s been your experience with training your kids’ palettes? I don’t want to cater to him, but I don’t want to be unreasonable either. Thanks for any input!

Thanks .
