I'm a big Mercola (and WAP somewhat) fan so we eat very few grains, and if we do, they are sprouted grains. We do those for to maintain our health, not for weight loss. I also rarely bring refined sugars or any processed food into the house.
My dd (22 mos), who is still BF, showed very little interest in food until 18 mos and still doesn't eat that much. But I know if I would let her, she would eat tons and tons of pasta, crackers, bread. and cereal. I watch the kids around us eat lots of grains and I wonder:
1) Do kids crave the grains because they need the extra carbs for energy? Or do they just taste better than veggies?
2) Is my dd going to nurse FOREVER? She's so inconsistent eating meat and veggies and all that leaves is fruit, nuts, and dairy...
I guess I'm wondering if anyone has any experience feeding their toddler this way. My dd is growing and is very, very healthy. I just get the feeling that BM is going to make up a good share of her diet for awhile. The recipes in Mercola's books are not real kid-friendly--except the Tarragon Turkey Burgers. They are awesome!!
