[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

To the registered dietitian: thank you very much for your post. I completely agree with you on the enormous amount of "advice" and information out there. Your post was refreshing. Can you point me to a website/book something "real" that gives me some direction on what my 3.5 year old should eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner, snacks etc. and particularly how much sugar is actually an acceptable amount. I do have Marion Nestle's book "what to eat" from years ago, perhaps I need to revisit that although it didn't provide direct advice on how much of what one should eat.

The whole family is healthy, no illness, no medications, we are active and fine with weight. So I do appreciate your advice that if all that is in order then we are fine. But then I wonder, what about things on the molecular level, could things be going bad deep inside without any sings (yet)?

Can I ask you - do you eat ice cream, processed snacks, yogurt, cereal? Can you give me a sample week (in summary) of what you eat?

THANK YOU.[/quote]

NP - It's easy.  Walk around the outside ring of your grocery store. Buy, prepare and eat anything from there that you want.  Stay out of the middle aisles; there's nothing good for you there.[/quote]

That might be true health-wise, but studies show that folks who do things like utilize takeout and prepared meals, have housecleaners and save themselves time and effort in other ways, are happier than those who don't. Happiness and lowered stress certainly contributes to good health.

OP: It sounds like you keep getting caught up in an all or nothing cycle. Try to eat well, like others have said. You probably know what "well" means for you and your family - not too much crap, lots of veggies, enough protein, some olive oil and avocado, etc. Being veg or vegan works for lots of people - I've been veg nearly my whole life and I love it - but not for others. Figure out what works for you and stop watching Netflix documentaries if they are driving you crazy.[/quote]
