I made changes to our diets a while back but with the end of the pregnancy that was really hard because of the SPD and the first weeks with new babe etc.. our healthy diet went pretty much out the window. We were eating more processed foods because they were quick and easy and I didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen or shopping…
I think that we were starting to see the effect that the foods were having on the boys though… which is a bit scary…
About 2 weeks ago we saw a moth in the Kitchen only to discover that we had an infestation of cupboard moths in one of our cupboards…. If you have ever had them you know how bad they can become… If you don’t know what they are they are those little larvae that come home with you often from the store. They can be in grains, pasta, rice, sweets… pretty much anywhere that they want to be… they can eat through plastic and borough into the seal of cans so you have to clean out pretty much everything…. well… we cleaned and purged through all of the cupboards and are starting out mostly anew… We are going back to a more wholesome and whole foods diet, we are cutting out all of the colourings and I am going to start avoiding the foods with the highest amounts of Salicylates and giving the boys sources of the omegas to see if there is a change in their behaviours…
Though we still have a lot of things to work on we are finally getting back on track and going in the right direction diet wise. I would also like to lose a lot of the weight that I am carrying. I am of course addicted to sugar… I need to vut it out of a the least cut back… that will help a lot in losing weight since that is my downfall….
So our diet is changing…. less processed foods, more whole foods, less sugar, less salicylates, more omegas and no more colourings…
