andrealoureed Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 My four year old and I are doing Whole30. We are on day 7. Well he is technically day 4 as he had sugar and gluten-free grains at our small school group on Monday. Anyway, last night he started crying for pizza. Today he is crying for pizza, mac and cheese or spagetti. I feel so sad for him. All the protein he will eat is sliced turkey and eggs. I know he needs to eat more, but he is picky. He leans on fruit for his cravings. Any tips for handling this mourning period for him? Thank you!PS: I allow him to have sweet potato chips. Ingredients are sweet potato, coconut oil and salt. I don't endulge in these myself as the snack demon will come out, but I feel like he needs something familiar... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Not to imply that your son has autism, only that you may find some helpful tips on this thread that addresses kids, pizza and Whole30. http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/14214-autism-and-whole-30/ Here's another one on picky kids: http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/31533-picky-eater/ Also, commercially prepared chips of any kind (even with compliant ingredients) are a no go on a Whole30, so good for you for not indulging yourself!

Hannlib Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Would he eat meatza? It's very delicious. Fwiw my kids don't do whole 30. They eat w30 compliant meals several times a week but yep they sometimes have pizza. I'm cool with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrealoureed Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 We started Whole 30 with him as he was constipated. Now he's not. Pretty sure cheese and wheat had something to do with it. We're on day 28 now and I'm trying to get him to expand into fats. Thanks for your suggestions!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Gucc Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 So is he doing better? Not crying for pizza anymore? Have you tried Zoodles? They are so yummy wish i had discovered them sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
