I recently started the SW diet and I'm getting my eleven year old son to do it as well. He has profound learning difficulties and is like a toddler. He also loves food and will eat and eat and as a result is putting weight on. I can't explain anything to him as he doesn't understand and when he's hungry he gets very upset and bites his hand hard. So it's difficult to say no to him. I'm not a softy mother and I am pretty firm with him, but I don't think he can cope with hunger very well, it seems to be a real pain to him.
So I thought that SW would be ideal for him as there are so many free foods and luckily he loves fruit and vegetables just as much as chocolate, biscuits and cake. He's costing me a fortune in fruit for snacks and he just keeps coming back for more. He does fill up eventually but I was hoping that with the huge reduction in fat that he is now having he might not crave so much food.
I could give him pasta salads or rice salads for snacks but I'm worried about him getting too much carbohydrate. He has quite a bit with his meals.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to fill him up?
He is still in nappies, and as you can imagine, with all the food he's eating he could poo for England.
