I recently did the class (Building Healthier Kids). Not only was the content fascinating it was been incredibly useful on my journey to healing my son's gut. My son started to develop mild autistic symptoms when he was 18 months old and I'm so excited to say that since following Fiona's tips and recipes.

High glycemic-load (GL) foods such as starches and sugars should be kept to a minimum.  Starch foods include breads, rice, cereals, grains, potatoes and pasta.  Sugary foods include cakes, biscuits, pastries and desserts.  Your diet should contain some starches as a valuable source of energy; however intake of sugary foods should be minimized.  Having an excess of starches and sugars in your diet has been shown to promote obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases. Your daily consumption of allowable high GL foods should be limited to one to two servings daily (each providing approximately 30g of carbohydrate).  If you are trying to loose weight limit the high GL serving to one a day. Serving sizes as follows: High GL food servings Wholegrain bread 2 slices Crisp bread/wheat crackers 2 pieces Beans or lentils, cooked 1/3 cup Pasta, cooked ½ cup Noodles, cooked ½ cup Couscous, cooked ½ cup White rice, cooked ½ cup Brown rice, cooked ½ cup Potato 1 medium Potato, sweet ½ cup High fibre breakfast cereal 1 cup* Choose high fibre, low sugar cereals. Breakfast cereals vary widely in carbohydrate content per cup.  1 cup serving for lighter cereals (puffed and flaked grains), ½ cup serving for denser heavier cereals such as oats. Some healthier options, which have a lower glycemic load than their more highly processed alternatives, are detailed below. Breads Multigrain,...

 “Good fats” from foods such as fish, nuts, seeds and cold pressed vegetable oils are an important part of a healthy diet.  Remember; these dietary fats are especially good for your heart and may help you burn body fat. Oils:  Different oils are good for different purposes.  Olive oil is the only healthy oil which is stable enough to use for cooking.  Other healthy oils can be used as dressing for salad and vegetables.  Buy salad oils fresh and keep refrigerated.  Always choose oils which are cold pressed and extra virgin where available. *Consumption of cooking and salad oils should be limited to approximately 2 tablespoons daily.  Cooking oils:  Olive oil Salad oils:  Flax seed oil, apricot kernel oil, macadamia nut oil, olive oil, walnut oil, sesame oil Nuts and Seeds:  Nuts and seeds are nutritious, healthy vegetarian food sources, high in protein and omega 3.  However, nuts and seeds are high in fat and should not be over consumed.  Nuts are delicious as a snack or in salads or meals. You can enjoy a small handful or ¼ cup of nuts and seeds daily.  Cashews are kept to a minimum because they are high in natural sugars and peanuts can be contaminated with a toxic...

Every day new scientific studies are published about the human immune system and its fascinating relationship with the gut – especially through the food we eat and the gut microbes that live there. We have 10 times more bacteria in and on our bodies than we have human cells. Clearly we have evolved as humans along with these bacteria viruses and parasites and could not live without them. Until recently we were not aware of how important this symbiosis is and we have not always taken the best care of our flora. Antibiotics for example which can be life-saving during bacterial pneumonia or meningitis have been overused and prescribed for colds caused by viruses. Antibiotics do not kill viruses and do not help overcome a cold but they will destroy the bacteria living in our gut on the skin and on our mucous membranes – where they are needed to protect our body from illness. Over 70% of all antibiotics are used to make animals raised for meat fatter faster so they will produce more meat in less time. So every time we eat meat we also consume a dose of antibiotics. The overuse of antibiotics has been associated with an increase in...

  Vegetables are very high in nutrients and beneficial dietary fibre.  Regular vegetable consumption may reduce the overall risk of developing many types of chronic disease including heart disease and cancer (due to numerous phytonutrients present in all vegetables).  Phytonutrients are additional antioxidants found in plants, as distinct from vitamins and minerals, which are associated with numerous health promoting effects.  Highly coloured vegetables tend to be the highest in phytonutrients. You should aim to feed your child a minimum of three handfuls of vegetables per day.  Limit the intake of energy dense, high carbohydrate vegetables to one handful a day.  If available choose certified organic or spray free produce.  It’s a good idea to wash your fruits and vegetables thoroughly to remove any pesticide residue.  Light steaming is generally a better method of cooking vegetables over boiling or mashing to reduce nutrient loss. You can eat as much salad as you like each day - try to aim for at least three handfuls. Children's Nutritionist Approved Vegetables (minimum 3 handfuls daily) Alfalfa Avocado Asparagus Bean sprouts Beans, green Cabbage Capsicum Carrots* Cauliflower Celery Kale Cucumber Eggplant Fennel Garlic Ginger Lettuce Leeks Mushrooms Onions Parsley Peas* Pumpkin Radish Rocket Salad greens Silver beet Shallots Snow peas Spinach Sprouts Squash Tomato* Watercress Zucchini *Tomatoes, carrots, peas, pumpkin and avocado need to be used in moderation         because they are high in sugars and calories.  Limit to one cup (raw daily) Children's Nutritionist Approved...
