Veggies are essential but difficult for some kids to eat.
With children or adults who have touchy stomachs or attitudes you could try these ideas and see if it helps.
For children I often refer to their dinner protein as dinosaur and their vegetable as dino swamp treats. Most kids are into dinos and this works, if your child has other animals they admire use those.
Using organic only please, select various veggies, like carrots, celery, parsley leaves with apple is a good start. I put chunks into the food processor and pulse it until it is reduced to crumbles like big pieces of pepper from a pepper mill. I do not puree it.
Add vitamin C powder, or lemon juice to stop the oxidative damage, you could also add a little salt for flavor, and store in a glass container. You can serve them as “sprinkles” over mashed potatoes and get your children to eat more veggies this way. You can add them to a bed of your child’s favorite lettuce and you will find they eat them. You can sprinkle them on chili or in soups as a topping. You could also add them to sandwiches in place of lettuce for contrast with your meats or mushrooms or avocados. You can add them to smoothies too.
If you come with new ideas to pass along please email us and let us know and we will post your suggestions.
Eat Organic.

Weight
Loss
If
you have a weight problem you know you need to eat less and exercise
more. Here are three things you can do to make your weight loss
much faster. Eat only fresh foods, nothing prepared in a box or
saved in a way the necesitates the use of preservatives.
Leave 5-6 hours between meals, no snacks. In order to make that
easy do not eat anything with MSG and its many other names. Call
us and we will mail you the list of other names used in food processing.
No fast food, it all has MSG galore in it. MSG affects the way
your body produces insulin.
It is purposely added to processed foods to make you crave more
of the processed foods. It is used to create obesity in laboratory
animals to they can study obesity.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
has the dirt on msg, search msg and obesity. If you are going
to cheat on your diet and eat processed foods or homemade sweets
do it only once and for one half hour during a day. In that way
you only drive your insulin levels into the killer zone one time
in a day.
Call us if you do not have access to the internet and we will
send you the data available at the above mentioned sites. Good
luck and great fresh food eating!!! Make it organic every chance
you get.
