high protein diet

[bmom]

My sons hair analysis came back with diet recommendations of low carb and sugar/ high protein diet. Just curious of people-I know Cum Passes said her son was on this could recommend some ideas. Dinner is easy, but breakfast is difficult. I dont want to over load on eggs. Most meat such as sausage and bacon has preservatives.

Hi bmom,

 

Could I ask what was the name of your tests? Funny thing he came up with no abnormality for carbohydrate metabolism on the Metamatrix urine test. The tissue mineral analysis from the hair came up with the sugar/ carb tolerance not good. (So which one is right?)

 

Yes, breakfast is a pain isn't it. I do have to the egg alot because the eggs came up as no allergy. I do get him bacon from Whole Food that only has pork, water, sea salt, and cane sugar. Make him a wrap with organic tortillas, bacon, lettuce, tomato, kind of like a BLT for breakfast. He only gets that once a week. I have given him hamburgers, no bread. Yogurt with berries. My son can not do soy, so I'm not sure what is out there with soy protein you could do, (if your son can have soy?) Oh yes, and a Big glass of milk. He had early lunch 11:45 compaired to some kids in his school who had lunch at 1:30. He said at about 11:00 is when he would start to feel hungry.

 

He is not that picky at 13 he just wants FOOD!!! He has even asked to eat leftover ribs for breakfast.

 

Hope that heps a little.

C.P.

My son has not done the urine test, but this was diet recommendations of the hair analysis. He does seem to be doing very well with tics right now, but I thought I would try to implement the high protein/ low carb anyway the best I could. Do you feel it helped with your son?

bmom,

 

At my house, we don't per se eat breakfast food. We eat what is nutrious for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For instance, i would serve vegetable soup, rice porridge, mixed vegetable, oatmeal. Basically whatever i think it is good healthy food that my kids enjoy. And once in a blue moon, organic perservative-free pizza.

 

We also do waffle, bacon & eggs for dinner.

Oh the test was by ARL -analytical research labs inc.

If it was me, I'd think outside the box... the breakfast box, that is. People eat different things for breakfast all around the world, so why not us? How about a thick slice of turkey breast instead of the bacon or sausage? Steak and eggs is somewhat traditional. A chicken or turkey club sandwich? Maybe an omelet with white chicken chunks, salsa, and white cheddar. Ham and pineapple and homemade potato hash browns...

 

I don't know exactly what your analysis showed was needed for diet, but I would not rule out carbohydrates. High fibre carbs keep blood sugar levels from spiking and falling quickly. Diets that attempt to be carb-free result in the body going into ketosis, which is not something you want happening in a growing child. Chances are, you know all this already, but I just wanted to emphasize that high-protein is NOT equivalent to low-carb.

Hope this helps...

Oops... when I started writing this answer YESTERDAY, no one else had replied yet... then I left my house for the rest of yesterday and all of today and only just got back to the computer now to hit "add reply"... so if it sounds weird or repetitive or like I didn't read any of the other replies, that's why! Hope it helps anyway...

The impossible diet!!! Hi bmom, my name is Pam & my husband & 2 boys (6yrs old & 5yrs old) are on this diet except that we can not have ANY sugars or carbs. Breakfast was a real obstacle for me, too, especially since my sons have sensitivities to eggs.

 

Breakfast ideas: Beans! I use navy (northern), kidney, & black beans. I can not use pinto beans or lima beans due to the boys' sensitivities.

 

Sauce: onion (green, yellow, red, valdalia), celery, parley (flat italian or curly), garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, fenu greek (I do not use all of these at once - it depends on the meat that I use) & diced tomatoes or sauce or organic tomatoe soup.

 

Meat: left over hen, fish, or organic turkey, beef & chicken hot dogs.

 

High protein & flavorful & not too difficult to put together.

 

Another good thing for dipping veggies in is Hummus.

 

A great place to look for recipes on-line is Recipezaar. You can do searches based on certain ingredients, which is very helpful for breakfast foods - you can search on the type of meal - ie. breakfast & main ingredient.

 

I hope this was helpful. I was on the internet like crazy as our Dr. outlined what we needed to do to get healthy.

 

With kind regards, Pam

Thanks for the info- just wondering how you knew to eleminate them completely. Which test showed that?
