Hey there
I may not have explained myself very well there, Ari
I do not think it would be beneficial to my little one's growth and development to be a part of my NSD either... I think there is a huge difference between cutting out junk food like Trudi was saying and making starch a healthy part of a balanced diet.
I was angling more at the point that instead of my children having snacks like donuts, or crisps or cookies - it's nice to see them eating some alternatives like nuts and raisins. But that is certainly not to say that I mind them having the other stuff too - just not every day.
My other point was intended to mean that I have tried to make my restrictive diet as interesting as possible and I am thrilled that it is encouraging my little one's to eat more fruit, veg and other foods prepared in different ways. Their range of foods has increased a lot (as have mine for that matter!)
I am not usually a big fruit eater, so I like that, seeing me eating it is grabbing their attention and making them want to give it a go!
Starchs are not evil! All things in moderation is a good rule for anyone without dietry issues! lol
