Huxley Steele started the Ketogenic lifestyle when we has 2 1/2 years old.
At the time of the transition his diet consisted of goldfish, syrup, & whipped cream. He had not consumed a real protein in 18 months. We kept taking him to the doctors for help, but they insisted that he was meeting all of his developmental and growth markers and to just “give whatever he will eat”. He was pretty much non verbal, extremely angry, and just wasn’t fun to be around.
His transition was the most difficult. It most of it is documented on our YouTube channel. Many days and night were spent in tears just waiting for him to eat. We prayed continuously for God to help him eat and after 9 months we finally progressed to a place where he was eating meats without them needing to be ground or disguised in a red sauce.
He now enjoys a diet that is primarily carnivorous. His favorites are Ribeye, Chicken, Sausage, Eggs and Almond Flour Crackers.
He never really ate the typically “kid foods” like Mac & Cheese, nuggets, or baked goods.
During this transition we’ve seen him become more verbal as his speech developed, he became affectionate, and generally more pleasant.
We remember that love is patient as we faithfully believed that we would see results and improvement in this area of our children’s lives. It’s our responsibility to be good stewards of all that God has given us and our first ministry is to our family.
