Autism / ADHD Recovery using the SCD / GAPS / Paleo diet

How Can I Get My Kids to Eat More Vegetables?

in Food Articles/Tips For Parents

Many of my private coaching clients reveal to me that their children eat low-to-no vegetables. This concerns me because it sets the child up for numerous vitamin deficiencies. Furthermore, a low-fiber diet leads to constipation.

How much produce should my child be eating?

According to the USDA (MyPlate, 2018) a 4-year-old child should be consuming 2 cups of vegetables, and 1.5 cups of fruit per day. A GAPS patient (who is not eating grains) might want to eat even a bit more veggies than that. I shot a quick 2 minute video to help you do just that!
