I’m willing to try this if I can introduce it gradually.
I’ve heard talk of this causing “disordered eating” but haven’t done the reading myself on that. Do you think it caused any negative outcomes for yourself?
I have a reduced appetite as an adult because of medical conditions, so it’s difficult to tell because I have a hard time eating anyway. I don’t have any food aversions and if I’m hungry will eat most anything. But like the other reply to my comment said, it resulted in a lot of unpleasant dinners. I was on a behavioral diet most of my childhood as well so that had a factor in it all too. I think having a standard, boring “second choice” might be a good idea, but also definitely just communicate about what they like and don’t like, children are capable of reason just not always encouraged into the ability.
I had pretty serious behavioral issues as a kid, mom put me on an exclusion diet designed by a kind of woo-y Dr, but I do think it helped. I guess people have lots of food “sensitivities” that might be tied to childhood behavior? I didn’t eat gluten, corn, milk, potatoes, tomatoes, and a bunch of less significant things for 18 months, than was reintroduced to those things slowly via tincture for 6 months. As an adult I still don’t really know what he was doing because the diagnosis involved holding 2 electrodes like an e meter but it did seem to have noticeable benefits to my behavior.

Thanks for your honest feedback and sharing.
What’s a behavioural diet, just like what you said with “if you do this, then that”?
