[QUOTE="georgiak, post: 580944, member: 114929"] Thanks Phoenix and gfmoore. My aim now is to base all meals round a piece of meat or fish or perhaps peas or beans with vegetables, raw if possible. A very traditional "meat and two veg" kind of diet! I wonder about the "low fat" dairy though. Dairy products that are marketed as low fat often have lots of other bad things in. I will aim to include cheese, natural or greek yoghurt, full fat milk and not much else dairy. Daughter is enjoying the new regime. I've pretty much finished all the "bad stuff" which was in the house (bread, some cereal bars, biscuits) and not replaced them, and have given her free rein to make her own packed lunches with all the good stuff which is in the fridge. Today she went in with tomato, avocado and mozzarella salad with her own dressing and was really chuffed with it. Two fingers to the white bread ham sandwich/packet of crips/chocolate bar brigade who seem to always be telling her she has a mean mummy for not giving her "normal" packed lunches! [/QUOTE]
