New attempt to make my 9 year old gain weight: High Everything Diet RRARF with Probiotics if this fails, Raw Paleo Diet with High Meat
I and my 9 year old boy just came home from an overnight class camping / outing in a Pampanga farm. I was able to compare my son’s topless physique with the rest of his classmates and saw that he hasn’t progressed much even after we had cured his rough spot connected with his old primary complex, and got rid of his intussusception. My first choice is to put him on raw paleo diet like Aajonus Vonderplanitz’ Primal diet with lots of high meat, but my wife thinks it will be a hard sell for our boy to agree with doing the same diet I am on. Hey, I’m gaining weight and fat. So I’m looking at doing something else first. I’m looking at trying high everything diet, RRARF as described by Matt Stone at 180degreehealth.com… it is a sane cooked paleo-ish diet I can fix up that will be palatable to our boy.
I’m thinking cooked meat – coconut milk based dishes – or in ghee / gata, sweet potatoes and butter, brown rice, cooked green leafy vegetables, root crops… the big deal, the big bad culprit I want to cut down anyway is WHITE RICE and TOO MUCH FRUCTOSE LADEN FRUITS. I’ve wanted to strangle those out anyway. I hit 2 kids with this 1 attempt, my 5 year old girl who is carb sensitive and gets tooth decay, and probably my 9 year old boy as well who is malnourished so his body craves these instant energy foods. Height and heft wise, our 7 year old boy is doing just great.
The logic is simple, eat as much as he wants being served with food he likes and other see as palatable, even force feed for a while, as often as he wants, rest as much as possible, will get into measuring his body temperature too. See the details in 180degreehealth.com.
Of course I should see something drastic in 1 or 2 months. If this fails, then we definitely will go the full raw paleo diet route with lots of high meat. Something will eventually work.
