I feel the same way! Way back then, I just didn’t know. I bought into the food pyramid mess, just like most others. Thankfully, my children eat very healthily as adults, and my granddaughter, almost 7, is very conscious about what she eats and whether it’s “healthy stuff or sugar stuff that can make you sick”.
🎉🎉🎉 mainstream recommendations haven’t changed I see Mom’s on RUclips giving powdered formula eggo waffles ri ce cereal cheerios & juicy juice … No judgement I did the same thing my kids were given what was recommended grains grains grains . Knowing what I do now they would have been fed eggs bacon ground beef raw milk & chicken no sugar except berries for fruits .
When my kids were little, now 21 & 17, my husbands friend could understand why I fed my kid's steak instead of hotdogs. Wonderful job Neisha, your kids have a wonderful childhood.
Neisha, I give you so much credit for putting yourself out there (honestly) and subjecting yourself to such scrutiny. It is quite obvious that however you’re feeding your children that they are both thriving, healthy and happy. It is a shame to have to constantly explain yourself. Thank you for always pushing through it and still supporting those that are trying to reverse our health issues. I’m almost 55 and I wish I knew then what I know now! I am part of the PHD community and it has changed my life considerably! Thank you and keep doing you!
Wow, I can't believe the nerve of some people, telling you how to raise your children. You raise them how you want! I wish I had known about the proper human diet when mine were kids, I would have put them on the healthiest diet ever like you did! Keep educating! You are the BEST mom!
It’s very obvious that they are on an excellent diet. Beckett is very intelligent and articulate for a 3 year old. It’s amazing to listen to him talk. ❤️
I think it's wonderful that you are educating your children about how food affects their body! I would love to go back and raise my children with the knowledge I have about food now! Your children are BLESSED not deprived! You are doing a wonderful job! ❤
How dare you deprive your kids of obesity and disease ... We all know how good factory (Franken food) is for kids. How will they fit in if they are the only ones not requiring a walker and supplemental oxygen.. What I don't understand is other influencers whose kids DONT eat KETO/Carnivore. If it is good enough for you why not them?
Love the new couch! I wish my daughter would adopt this way of eating for her and the kids. I feed them this way when they are here and it makes such a big difference in attitude and behaviour.
I remember my Grandmother telling me about her growing up. They never had goodies like candy or cookies, etc. Only at Christmas and they were really excited to receive oranges in their stockings. They grew up just fine! Keep the fat, keep the faith!
Thank you for this video.. I am pregnant and plan to feed my kid essentially the same way.. I'm worried about family feeding my children sugar and grains.. even if I supply them with snacks.. having their cousins eat sweets around them etc.. I'm going to do my best 🙏
Just stand your ground and tell your family and friends firmly that you do not want them to feed them grains and sugar because of their health. If they don't want to comply, not even for the health's sake of the children, draw your conclusions! That might sound harsh but the health of your children is more important than some stupid unfounded food pyramid/compass bullshit!
I just always told my kids those are special treat times. They weren’t something that we always did like most of the kids in the neighborhood who had dessert every single night. We never had dessert after dinner. No sugar. And sodas were only special treat when we went out and that wasn’t often. Just teach kids how to eat right and then they want to. Because they like being smarter about food in their peers.
What awesome parents you guys are wish I knew all this when raising my two. Such a mic-drop moment...lol . Your children are beautiful and farm life is great.....love that you have turkey's mine are just pets .
You are ABSOLUTELY raising your children the right way, Neisha. Children need to be taught GOOD eating habits from infancy. Later on when they go to school they won't be eating crap like most of the other kids. Establishing good food habits and choices will set them up for the rest of their lives. People that don't understand this are ignorant. I am 68 years old and I see how my food choices have given me better health than a lot of my friends.
I don’t think their diet is restrictive at all! They are both the picture of health - robust, energetic and HAPPY! You are doing a terrific job teaching them eating for health, but not forbidding them from foods you don’t eat. That would only make them want it all the time! They are learning to self-regulate their appetites which today too many kids can’t! Fabulous parenting on your part!🥰
Their “childhood” is that bomb farm they live on and two amazing loving and caring parents. And that doesn’t look like deprivation to me. Plus all that yummy fresh food!
I give my kids (7 & 10) the unfiltered truth about the dangers of certain foods. We have taught them to look at ingredients to the point where they try to outdo each other on product knowledge. Our two young boys have definitely been influenced by my ketogenic/low carb diet which is fantastic. However, the challenge is when they go to school where all the provided food is absolutely filled w/junk. We have them pack as often as possible as a result and the other kids think they’re weird! When I chaperone field trips I see 99% of the other kids bring nothing but Pringles, Cheetos, Capri Sun, and the list goes on and on. It’s terrible and you can clearly see why so many 7-10 year olds are already obese. It’s mind blowing to me! You’re doing the right things w/the kids and thank you for sharing. Start positive habits early!! 🙌🏻
I think that you are doing a wonderful job bringing up your children! I wish I would have known 40 years ago what I know today, I would have fed my children so much differently. Some people just need to keep to their own lane and mind their own business!
im with Beckett. I am 41 years old , have always said I could live off of cheese burgers since I was 16. My meal every day for the last 4 months? Hamburger patty with 6 eggs. Seasoned with salt/pepper. Not even tired of it.
Wow! My mom served TV dinners in the 1950s when we were toddlers. Canned vegetables, lunch meat and Hostess desserts in the 60s until she stopped working as a nurse. From then on the American diet filled our tummies. As adults we all tried a variety of diets. At 72 I transitioned to the Carnivore Diet, and love it. Learning from your family helps me to rid myself of inflammation.
As a school nurse, this is such a great way to start your kids off on a healthy nutritional path 👏🏻 The hardest part is trying to get kids to stop eating these foods once they become so used to having them.
Wow thanks for this, I have kinda close diet but in my country our culture and foods are different so I don't do wheat flours just cassava and millet, I do green bananas, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkins, avocados, eggs, milk, meats no processed stuff like sausage/hotdogs, also my girls stay away from candy,cakes, and all forms of sugar and juice boxes, minimal fruits like 1 per because of how people these days ripen them using chemicals. Thanks for having a great stand
Youre awesome Neisha! I just started a low carb lifestyle after defecting from Weight Watchers and so far down 8.1 lbs and feeling much better! Ok, back to watching your video!
That's right Niesha preach!!! I have learned so much from you and Dr. Berry my kid is grown but myself I've lost 6 pants size since I ran across you and dr. Berry on RUclips you guys are a blessing ❤
What makes people think that they should criticise you for how you feed your children? They are your children, not theirs! Personally I think that you are doing an amazing job!
I love your channel! I enjoy the kids, dogs, cats, and the chickens. I am a very Sr. Citizen who saw you and Dr. Berry about 5 years ago…my life habits changed right then and there. I told my sister and she also got the message. We are very grateful for all the work and information you provide. I wish you all the best and look forward to anything posted by you and Dr. Berry. Kindest regards
I wish I had known about keto/carnivore when my kids were little. Very hard to change their habits when they are teens, but at least they see us eating right and know why we do it and see the awesome results.
My kids are 23 and 20 and they never once ate at a fast food restaurant ever, not even once, nor did they ever eat any junk food at home or parties. I got criticized for "depriving" them. I'm like, depriving them of what? Diabetes? Heart disease? Yeah, I'm such a bad mom. Now that they're adults (they still live with us thankfully) they still eat super healthy. We were always the "weird" family. But I wear that label proudly. The first 20 years of a child's life is when their bodies are developing and growing. That is the most important time to eat the healthiest. It will set them up for a lifetime of health and good habits. (I'm also a nutritionist and herbalist)
Ur an amazing mama great parents teaching ur children from the very beginning...for people that think ur children are deprived...u can't miss what u never had😊
I think you’re doing great!! Especially not making food a joy, experiencing is far more important! Most people myself included was raised with food equals comfort. I have been keto for a year and the past 3 months carnivore. Love it!! Thank you for your videos.
You’re doing great. I wish I could get my family on board with eating this way. My husband however doesn’t feel the same. He’s very much a processed carbohydrate and sugar eater and doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
I applaud you for raising those babies on healthy foods. I'm trying to educate my daughter on sugar and how it affects the children. Those babies are yours and you have to do the very best you can for them In their life journey. ❤️
my mom, bless her heart, used to send me to school on chocolate toast ! This is cocoa, sugar and butter on white bread and toasted in the oven. yes it was so delicious but now I know why I felt like I did!
Neisa, I am a researcher completing a doctorate as an early intervention practitioner in Ireland. I study early brain development in Trinity College Dublin, and I know the damage that sugar and processed foods can do to a young developing brain (andan adult brain too). Like you, I am not anti-sugar, I just wish I could help parents understand the effect sugar and processed foods have on a substance in the brain called Myelin. Being a nurse you probably already know how important healthy Myelin is for brain and behavioral wellbeing. I can clearly "see" (evidenced from their bright eyes, healthy complexion, curiosity and prosocial interactions - plus many more indicators, too numerous to mention here) that you and Dr Berry's children are thriving. In addition I am also thriving since discovering Dr Berry's channel (he saved me from GERD when my consultant was telling me to eat wheat and rye bread!! 😢). I thank God for helping me find both of you ❤ ps. thank you for your lovely recipes. I love the PHD! ❤
Dr Jason Fung posted an article today on twitter where the United Nations says meat, eggs and milk are vital sources of ‘much-needed nutrients.’ The article enumerates many positive outcomes including ‘reducing wasting among children under five years of age’. Hopefully many more will hear and follow your wisdom !!!
I just find it utterly ridiculous that people are saying that you are not feeding your children properly or being too restrictive Because you're not feeding your kids sugar and poison all day long at there demand. You are a parent after all you're Supposed to be guiding and educating your children on how to be healthy and happy not sick . You reward your kids with play time and cuddles and storytime and all those things other than food which is awesome. Raising them to find joy and other things also so they're not addicted to the wrong things like sugar and carbs You are doing a fantastic job
I wish I knew about this when I had my son... he's 51 now....and I can't get him to give up sugar 😢 or process foods, I'm 71 and in so much better health 😢
I wish I would have known what I know now when my teens were babies. We ate "FDA heathy" because I thought it was healthy. 😢 Now I eat strict ketovore. My teens eat healthier than their peers, but I still wish it was better, but it's hard. Niesha I'm proud of you! What a blessing to teach your kids so they have good eating habits for life.
How in the world do people think you are depriving your children, protein is far more important than anything else, and quite honestly you are the smart one not starting your child out on the junk there is in abundance! I’m gradually trying to get it out of my house and replace with healthier options. Bravo to you and Ken. I don’t understand who thinks what you are doing is bad? I’m really wanting to go ketovore and I see how hard it is for me because I’m addicted to sugar laden foods and drinks, it is a drug!
I grew up in a large family with very little money. We did not get sugary cereal, pop tarts, donuts or fast food. It is one of the many blessings my Mom bestowed on me besides great health & immune system. I’m 63 and have NO sweet tooth & can’t stand fast food. Great job with the littles!
No one should out you down about what you feed your children. They are both so very healthy and loving. Fruit juice is full of sugar. Wish we would have been fed that way as a child. You are definitely a great Mom and your husband is a great Dad! You go girl!💖🌟🌹
I’m proud of you both as parents starting your children on only the best foods from young age, well since they started eating. I ate a self rising slice of pizza at someone’s home bse I hadn’t eaten all day. Thirty mins later my stomach hurt so bad I felt I could have chose death over the horrible pain. It lasted over an hour. My body wanted that one small slice out of my body. I got the box out of trash and ingred read Bioengineered. Oh my I never even thought I’d ever see this. Never again will I cheat when so hungry. I only feel good when I eat meats and butter and of course eggs. I’ve lost over 50 pounds in 5 month by only eating 3 things. I now weigh my healthy weight for age and height. I don’t get bored with eating same foods. I look forward to it everyday.
Sounds like the best lifestyle way of eating to me .... I stand with your boy cinnamon is better than chocolate anyday ! Chocolate is not good - this is what I'm teaching my daughter, but 11 is a difficult age for girls- Everything is changing very fast and she wants to be older , but yet still wants to be the baby in some ways ... I applaud you 👏🏼
I am 34 male and have no kids, so I can't relate. But I completely respect what you are feeding and how you are raising your kids (even though it's none of my business). I think you are going about it the right way and how I would want to raise my kids if I ever have any. I appreciate you sharing and encouraging a healthier lifestyle-by also leading by example every day.
Neisha, I applaud you for what you are feeding your kids! You are saving them from a host of diseases later in life. I pray more parents would follow your example.
Thank you. I found the part about how you handle cake at parties helpful. My baby is only 1, so we’ve just not given her anything but an egg based-cake, but I know in the coming few years she’ll start to notice what others around her are having. She’s already showing she’s strong-minded/willed so I’m sure the way you’re handling it will be the best approach.
💯 agree with everything you are doing, especially the birthday parties! Every celebration needs to be about celebrating the people, not the food! Great job, momma! ❤
Hi! I knew you feed your kids good food and don't deprive them. I've been watching your videos for a long while. The difference between you and a lot of parents (including my own parents and my relatives) is that food was used as a "reward" in my youth. And it feels like we were raised on sugar and so were my kids essentially. Using food for fuel and not as some special reward or something to make a big deal about is the best approach. You're doing a great job!
Your children eat great! Kudos to you and Dr. Ken. People are probably upset because you don’t feed your kids sugar. You need not have to explain. It’s your business and people should take note.
Congrats on the way you are doing this. I am 76 years old and just recently quit a part time job as a cashier in a small town convenience store because it was really bothering me to be a part of what the kids are buying and especially what parents are feeding their kids. I know I was watching children on their way to being type 2 by the time they are 30 years old.
That has to be depressing to witness! I know I glance at shopping carts when I'm in the store line. Sorry if I'm being judgmental but it does make me sad
You look beautiful today! I think it's important to continue to talk about what we are eating and what we are feeding our kids that's how we learn about nutrition. I wish I would have known this information when I was raising my kids I would have done a better job! Thankfully my kids are grown and they have done the research and they're the ones who told me about KETO and Dr. Berry and I have been following every since! Keep up the good work...Good bless ❣️
I love you and Ken. Two honest, caring humans. You both have a huge generosity of spirit, and commit so much time to the community. People need to stay in their own lanes. They don’t walk in your shoes and quite simply, they are not raising your kids!! Do you boo…and if they don’t like your content…keep on walking with a quiet mouth. Doing a fabulous job you two are, making a conscious contribution to all who love to listen. 🙏💕
Everyday you are giving me the strength, power, and encouragement to wein my kids off all the crap! I wish I knew what I know now 12 years ago. Thank you for your videos and please keep them coming!!
When I had my boys I let them eat processed foods. Cereal, etc as long as they were organic and didn’t have any horrible ingredients. I was close but not close enough. Wish I knew what I know now. Your an amazing mom. I’ve got them off of 80% of their stuff in a year. Now working on the last 20% but not pushing them I am and educating them about nutrition. I want them to make their own decisions so they don’t have a bad relationship with food as you said. They are 8 and 10. I am very proud of how far we have come as a family to get healthier in a year. Thanks to you and your hubby for educating the world. ❤😊
Keep it momma. You are doing great for your children. I also keep my children from processed crap. The attitudes and learning are off the charts. Keep doing them good.
Started my 6 old eating like this along with me...her hyperactivity and mood are completely changed! (she is adopted and im older and wiser now) my first borns were subjected to my inexperienced self... I thought giving them a vast selection of sweet cereal proved my love ❤...thank you for inspiring me...and the next generation
I personally think you care and love your children and want the best for them and that means eating what is good and healthy for them. Your doing a great job in my opinion. Your a good momma ~♥️
Neisha, thank you so much for sharing! Watching your videos helped me transition to a mostly carnivore diet while breast feeding my now 14month old. We are both thriving
Wow!!! Love this. I’ll be breastfeeding in August and want to really focus on meats. I’m still pregnant and nauseous / picky most of the time so trying to plan ahead
I fed my children the way I was fed -- 3 meals a day with no snacks. Dessert only on special occasions. All 4 were very good eaters and would eat whatever I fixed. I just wish I had known more about nutrition for them as well as myself! I think you're doing a fantastic job!!
I am so thankful for mindful teaching of your Littles the better nutrition for them. I wish this would have been taught to me. It has taken in and out of diets to figure this out for myself. 3 years on Low carb diet for me, but now I'm more Ketovore.
I am always amazed at people questioning other people about the raising of their children, agree with you. I don't judge other Mom's, we all are doing the best we know and that we can afford or physically do. Your children are beautiful, smart and it isn't any of our business how you choose to feed and raise them. Kudos to you!
If we all could have done that with our kids we would be better off. Its pretty bad when people think eating real food is detrimental . Keep on keeping on Mama!
Looking back at my childhood, my parents raised me and my siblings on a whole food diet. Breakfast was at six, dinner was done by six and if you asked for more food after dinner, you were told that the kitchen was closed, you should have eaten more at dinner. I am grateful to see more parents returning to that type of healthy eating. More importantly I am impressed with your gratitude for all that you have in your life. God knows you and your family have waded through some pretty dark times.
THANK YOU for teaching your children right. They won't have all the hang ups and illnesses that most of us are recovering from since childhood. Bless you both for being AWESOME parents. ❤
I wish I knew all this when I was raising my boys! I think your doing a super job!! You and Dr. Berry are amazing people!! Don't ever stop doing what you guys are doing!
I'm glad I at least figured it out by the time my son was 8 (he is 20 now), and from age 8 on it was bacon, sausage, eggs for breakfast. A packed lunch in a thermos (from whatever I cooked the night before). Then, each night I'd cook up dinner. Going out to eat was MAYBE two or three times a year! It was not deprivation, just eating out never made anyone feel good! Seriously it was ME cooking 3 meals a day! (sometimes heating leftovers of course)
You are a wonderful Mother, taking the time to make sure your kids are well nourished and it shows in them. They look so healthy. Like they say “the proof is in the pudding”❤
As a grandmother looking back on my pregnancies and child rearing all I can say is the useless "I wish I knew then what I know now". If I had been willing back then to drastically improve my diet I might have given my 4 kids a better start. Two of my 4 kids are ADD and dyslexic and 3 have had issues with depression as adults. I also had 2 miscarriages. Can I prove any of this was due to my diet and less than healthy body? Not completely, but with what I'm learning it sure seems possible. I didn't feed them terrible as kids, but I sure could have done better !. I'm now trying to help myself feel better after many years of gobbling down sugar and garbage. I'm trying to share what I've been leaning with my kids so they can feel better and feed my 4 grandkids better...unfortunately it's falling on deaf ears. I appreciate how you are raising your family and the example you are setting. It's inspirational even at my age. I'm going to keep trying with my family and hope they will see me feeling better and take notice. Thanks for all you and Dr Ken do to raise awareness :)
Great Video! I am 56 years old and I wish my mom had known what I know now. But she didn't so I am trying to stay ketovore/carnivore. I don't look in the past because we have been lied to for thousands of years on nutrition. I look at it this way. You are the mom, these people saying these things are not, they are just opinions. You know whats best for your kids. I love your channel
Thanks for this video, Neisha! My child is 2 and you gave me the courage to be keto during pregnancy and to feed my child a whole food, low sugar diet since she was old enough to begin eating! She is smart, kind, and doing very well. I often have to defend these eating choices to those who are uninformed, but I know I'm doing the right thing and setting her up for good eating habits in the future. Thank you!

Congratulations keep up the good work 🙏🎉🔥💕🌹
Stay on the right path, Debbie. In no time you will feel like you did when you were 25.
Congratulations on your weight loss!!! Keep up the great work 🎉🎉
@@stacieocker Thank you! It’s a long hard road but being diagnosed with type two diabetes has but a fire in my butt.
I wish I’d known what I know now…I wouldn’t have given my kids half the crap food I gave them that I THOUGHT was okay. Your kids are blessed by you!!
I feel the same way! Way back then, I just didn’t know. I bought into the food pyramid mess, just like most others. Thankfully, my children eat very healthily as adults, and my granddaughter, almost 7, is very conscious about what she eats and whether it’s “healthy stuff or sugar stuff that can make you sick”.

Good lord all the juice my kids drank…. 😢
But thankfully I knew enough to breast feed…each one of my sons for 21 months! They are 34 and 36 now and very healthy.
@@vlk40Koolaid too 😖
Not letting your kids poison themselves with processed, sugar-laden crap only makes you a really good parent.
🎉🎉🎉 mainstream recommendations haven’t changed I see Mom’s on RUclips giving powdered formula eggo waffles ri ce cereal cheerios & juicy juice …
No judgement I did the same thing my kids were given what was recommended grains grains grains . Knowing what I do now they would have been fed eggs bacon ground beef raw milk & chicken no sugar except berries for fruits .
@@Christinesobsevations Halo ice cream and popsicles have a sugar content.
It is amazing how sweet fruit is when not eating sugar laden foods and candy.
So true!
I'm even finding Yogurt sweet now , I never took to Yogurt before even flavoured ones. Definitely learning process for the taste buds.😋
Drink some apple juice then bite into a real apple... It tastes like water!
Oh my goodness! This is the truth! Nature.’s candy!
When my kids were little, now 21 & 17, my husbands friend could understand why I fed my kid's steak instead of hotdogs. Wonderful job Neisha, your kids have a wonderful childhood.
Hot dogs are ok if you can't afford steak
Neisha, I give you so much credit for putting yourself out there (honestly) and subjecting yourself to such scrutiny. It is quite obvious that however you’re feeding your children that they are both thriving, healthy and happy. It is a shame to have to constantly explain yourself.

How dare you deprive your kids of obesity and disease ... We all know how good factory (Franken food) is for kids. How will they fit in if they are the only ones not requiring a walker and supplemental oxygen.. What I don't understand is other influencers whose kids DONT eat KETO/Carnivore. If it is good enough for you why not them?
Is it possible that the other influencers have partners who are not Keto/Carnivore? That may be why they are not raising their kids keto.
Unfortunately, they are fighting against school influences. They are not home schooled as Ms Berry's are.
🙌🏻 love the sarcasm 👌🏻😊
Love the new couch! I wish my daughter would adopt this way of eating for her and the kids. I feed them this way when they are here and it makes such a big difference in attitude and behaviour.
Yes! The couch is the perfect contrast color ❤😊

I give my kids (7 & 10) the unfiltered truth about the dangers of certain foods. We have taught them to look at ingredients to the point where they try to outdo each other on product knowledge.
Our two young boys have definitely been influenced by my ketogenic/low carb diet which is fantastic.
However, the challenge is when they go to school where all the provided food is absolutely filled w/junk.
We have them pack as often as possible as a result and the other kids think they’re weird!
When I chaperone field trips I see 99% of the other kids bring nothing but Pringles, Cheetos, Capri Sun, and the list goes on and on.
It’s terrible and you can clearly see why so many 7-10 year olds are already obese.
It’s mind blowing to me!
You’re doing the right things w/the kids and thank you for sharing.
Start positive habits early!! 🙌🏻

As a school nurse, this is such a great way to start your kids off on a healthy nutritional path 👏🏻 The hardest part is trying to get kids to stop eating these foods once they become so used to having them.
Wow thanks for this, I have kinda close diet but in my country our culture and foods are different so I don't do wheat flours just cassava and millet, I do green bananas, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkins, avocados, eggs, milk, meats no processed stuff like sausage/hotdogs, also my girls stay away from candy,cakes, and all forms of sugar and juice boxes, minimal fruits like 1 per because of how people these days ripen them using chemicals. Thanks for having a great stand
Youre awesome Neisha! I just started a low carb lifestyle after defecting from Weight Watchers and so far down 8.1 lbs and feeling much better! Ok, back to watching your video!
That's right Niesha preach!!! I have learned so much from you and Dr. Berry my kid is grown but myself I've lost 6 pants size since I ran across you and dr. Berry on RUclips you guys are a blessing ❤
What makes people think that they should criticise you for how you feed your children? They are your children, not theirs! Personally I think that you are doing an amazing job!
How can anyone be upset about their healthy habits? I would LOVE for my future child to eating this well!
I love your channel! I enjoy the kids, dogs, cats, and the chickens. I am a very Sr. Citizen who saw you and Dr. Berry about 5 years ago…my life habits changed right then and there. I told my sister and she also got the message. We are very grateful for all the work and information you provide. I wish you all the best and look forward to anything posted by you and Dr. Berry. Kindest regards
Mother of four grown sons!
Boy, how I wished I had this knowledge raising them that I now know on keto/carnivore the last 5 years!
Bravo Neisha!
🫶💪👍👏
I wish I had known about keto/carnivore when my kids were little. Very hard to change their habits when they are teens, but at least they see us eating right and know why we do it and see the awesome results.
My kids are 23 and 20 and they never once ate at a fast food restaurant ever, not even once, nor did they ever eat any junk food at home or parties. I got criticized for "depriving" them. I'm like, depriving them of what? Diabetes? Heart disease? Yeah, I'm such a bad mom. Now that they're adults (they still live with us thankfully) they still eat super healthy. We were always the "weird" family. But I wear that label proudly. The first 20 years of a child's life is when their bodies are developing and growing. That is the most important time to eat the healthiest. It will set them up for a lifetime of health and good habits. (I'm also a nutritionist and herbalist)
Ur an amazing mama great parents teaching ur children from the very beginning...for people that think ur children are deprived...u can't miss what u never had😊
I think you’re doing great!! Especially not making food a joy, experiencing is far more important! Most people myself included was raised with food equals comfort. I have been keto for a year and the past 3 months carnivore. Love it!!
Thank you for your videos.
You’re doing great. I wish I could get my family on board with eating this way. My husband however doesn’t feel the same. He’s very much a processed carbohydrate and sugar eater and doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
I applaud you for raising those babies on healthy foods. I'm trying to educate my daughter on sugar and how it affects the children. Those babies are yours and you have to do the very best you can for them In their life journey. ❤️
my mom, bless her heart, used to send me to school on chocolate toast ! This is cocoa, sugar and butter on white bread and toasted in the oven. yes it was so delicious but now I know why I felt like I did!
Neisa, I am a researcher completing a doctorate as an early intervention practitioner in Ireland. I study early brain development in Trinity College Dublin, and I know the damage that sugar and processed foods can do to a young developing brain (andan adult brain too). Like you, I am not anti-sugar, I just wish I could help parents understand the effect sugar and processed foods have on a substance in the brain called Myelin. Being a nurse you probably already know how important healthy Myelin is for brain and behavioral wellbeing. I can clearly "see" (evidenced from their bright eyes, healthy complexion, curiosity and prosocial interactions - plus many more indicators, too numerous to mention here) that you and Dr Berry's children are thriving. In addition I am also thriving since discovering Dr Berry's channel (he saved me from GERD when my consultant was telling me to eat wheat and rye bread!! 😢). I thank God for helping me find both of you ❤
ps. thank you for your lovely recipes. I love the PHD! ❤
Dr Jason Fung posted an article today on twitter where the United Nations says meat, eggs and milk are vital sources of ‘much-needed nutrients.’ The article enumerates many positive outcomes including ‘reducing wasting among children under five years of age’. Hopefully many more will hear and follow your wisdom !!!
I just find it utterly ridiculous that people are saying that you are not feeding your children properly or being too restrictive Because you're not feeding your kids sugar and poison all day long at there demand. You are a parent after all you're Supposed to be guiding and educating your children on how to be healthy and happy not sick . You reward your kids with play time and cuddles and storytime and all those things other than food which is awesome. Raising them to find joy and other things also so they're not addicted to the wrong things like sugar and carbs
You are doing a fantastic job
I wish I knew about this when I had my son... he's 51 now....and I can't get him to give up sugar 😢 or process foods, I'm 71 and in so much better health 😢
I wish I would have known what I know now when my teens were babies. We ate "FDA heathy" because I thought it was healthy. 😢 Now I eat strict ketovore. My teens eat healthier than their peers, but I still wish it was better, but it's hard. Niesha I'm proud of you! What a blessing to teach your kids so they have good eating habits for life.
How in the world do people think you are depriving your children, protein is far more important than anything else, and quite honestly you are the smart one not starting your child out on the junk there is in abundance! I’m gradually trying to get it out of my house and replace with healthier options. Bravo to you and Ken. I don’t understand who thinks what you are doing is bad? I’m really wanting to go ketovore and I see how hard it is for me because I’m addicted to sugar laden foods and drinks, it is a drug!
I don’t think it’s anyone’s business how your feeding your kids the PHD! They are happy and full of energy. Keep it up girl
I grew up in a large family with very little money. We did not get sugary cereal, pop tarts, donuts or fast food. It is one of the many blessings my Mom bestowed on me besides great health & immune system. I’m 63 and have NO sweet tooth & can’t stand fast food. Great job with the littles!
Having nutritious foods, and not restricting. That sounds like such a healthy approach. Love it.
You are an awesome mom! Teaching your kids what food fuels their body is being a good mother. So. many kids are obese and sick. Thank you for sharing❤
No one should out you down about what you feed your children. They are both so very healthy and loving. Fruit juice is full of sugar. Wish we would have been fed that way as a child. You are definitely a great Mom and your husband is a great Dad! You go girl!💖🌟🌹
I’m proud of you both as parents starting your children on only the best foods from young age, well since they started eating. I ate a self rising slice of pizza at someone’s home bse I hadn’t eaten all day. Thirty mins later my stomach hurt so bad I felt I could have chose death over the horrible pain. It lasted over an hour. My body wanted that one small slice out of my body. I got the box out of trash and ingred read Bioengineered. Oh my I never even thought I’d ever see this. Never again will I cheat when so hungry. I only feel good when I eat meats and butter and of course eggs. I’ve lost over 50 pounds in 5 month by only eating 3 things. I now weigh my healthy weight for age and height. I don’t get bored with eating same foods. I look forward to it everyday.
Sounds like the best lifestyle way of eating to me .... I stand with your boy cinnamon is better than chocolate anyday ! Chocolate is not good - this is what I'm teaching my daughter, but 11 is a difficult age for girls- Everything is changing very fast and she wants to be older , but yet still wants to be the baby in some ways ... I applaud you 👏🏼
I am 34 male and have no kids, so I can't relate. But I completely respect what you are feeding and how you are raising your kids (even though it's none of my business). I think you are going about it the right way and how I would want to raise my kids if I ever have any.
I appreciate you sharing and encouraging a healthier lifestyle-by also leading by example every day.
You are feeding your kids healthy food and teaching them healthy habits for a long healthy life!
Who cares what other people say, y’all keep up the good work!
Neisha, I applaud you for what you are feeding your kids! You are saving them from a host of diseases later in life. I pray more parents would follow your example.
You’re amazing 🤩
I wish I could double-like this video. Thank you, Neisha! Your message about raising kids with a healthy relationship with food is so important.
Sounds like a dream diet for the kids actually. They’re obviously lively, curious and clever, so thriving on it. Good job!
Thank you. I found the part about how you handle cake at parties helpful. My baby is only 1, so we’ve just not given her anything but an egg based-cake, but I know in the coming few years she’ll start to notice what others around her are having. She’s already showing she’s strong-minded/willed so I’m sure the way you’re handling it will be the best approach.
For the kids vitamins. There is one that has no sugar at all and is totally clean with no fillers. Absorption is the best I have found.
💯 agree with everything you are doing, especially the birthday parties! Every celebration needs to be about celebrating the people, not the food! Great job, momma! ❤
You are an amazing mother, you are absolutely doing the right thing for your children's health.
Hi! I knew you feed your kids good food and don't deprive them. I've been watching your videos for a long while. The difference between you and a lot of parents (including my own parents and my relatives) is that food was used as a "reward" in my youth. And it feels like we were raised on sugar and so were my kids essentially. Using food for fuel and not as some special reward or something to make a big deal about is the best approach. You're doing a great job!
Your kids will thank you one day. They will definitely be some healthy adults and hopefully carry on the same upbringing with their kids. ❤❤
This is SO helpful. I’m trying to transition my family off of the SAD. My son is 2.5 and very picky. So this really helps! ❤
Your children eat great! Kudos to you and Dr. Ken.
People are probably upset because you don’t feed your kids sugar.
You need not have to explain. It’s your business and people should take note.
Congrats on the way you are doing this. I am 76 years old and just recently quit a part time job as a cashier in a small town convenience store because it was really bothering me to be a part of what the kids are buying and especially what parents are feeding their kids. I know I was watching children on their way to being type 2 by the time they are 30 years old.
That has to be depressing to witness! I know I glance at shopping carts when I'm in the store line. Sorry if I'm being judgmental but it does make me sad
Best fed kids in America Neisha! Love the new sofa!
You look beautiful today! I think it's important to continue to talk about what we are eating and what we are feeding our kids that's how we learn about nutrition. I wish I would have known this information when I was raising my kids I would have done a better job! Thankfully my kids are grown and they have done the research and they're the ones who told me about KETO and Dr. Berry and I have been following every since! Keep up the good work...Good bless ❣️
I love you and Ken. Two honest, caring humans. You both have a huge generosity of spirit, and commit so much time to the community. People need to stay in their own lanes. They don’t walk in your shoes and quite simply, they are not raising your kids!! Do you boo…and if they don’t like your content…keep on walking with a quiet mouth.
Doing a fabulous job you two are, making a conscious contribution to all who love to listen. 🙏💕
I see the new couch😁. You're feeding your children great food! Seven Sundays cereal is good for kids.
Everyday you are giving me the strength, power, and encouragement to wein my kids off all the crap! I wish I knew what I know now 12 years ago. Thank you for your videos and please keep them coming!!
2 of the healthiest children I know! So proud of you both as parents and I hope more follow this lifestyle for our future generations ❤️
I have appreciated your videos on this topic so much. My son eats very similar to yours and i always feel better after hearing you talk about it.
I find it funny that people will have so much criticism for someone feeding their kids whole foods! It doesn't make sense! Love your videos!
When I had my boys I let them eat processed foods. Cereal, etc as long as they were organic and didn’t have any horrible ingredients. I was close but not close enough. Wish I knew what I know now. Your an amazing mom. I’ve got them off of 80% of their stuff in a year. Now working on the last 20% but not pushing them I am and educating them about nutrition. I want them to make their own decisions so they don’t have a bad relationship with food as you said. They are 8 and 10. I am very proud of how far we have come as a family to get healthier in a year. Thanks to you and your hubby for educating the world. ❤😊
I admire your method of teaching the kids how to eat.🙏❤️
Keep it momma. You are doing great for your children. I also keep my children from processed crap. The attitudes and learning are off the charts. Keep doing them good.
Started my 6 old eating like this along with me...her hyperactivity and mood are completely changed! (she is adopted and im older and wiser now) my first borns were subjected to my inexperienced self... I thought giving them a vast selection of sweet cereal proved my love ❤...thank you for inspiring me...and the next generation
your kids, your decisions, no ones business..great job..your kids will be so far ahead of most others in health! Healthy kids 💚
I personally think you care and love your children and want the best for them and that means eating what is good and healthy for them. Your doing a great job in my opinion. Your a good momma ~♥️
Not restrictive at all girl! You are teaching your kids proper nutrition and that is a gift 🤍
Neisha, thank you so much for sharing! Watching your videos helped me transition to a mostly carnivore diet while breast feeding my now 14month old. We are both thriving
Wow!!! Love this. I’ll be breastfeeding in August and want to really focus on meats. I’m still pregnant and nauseous / picky most of the time so trying to plan ahead
I fed my children the way I was fed -- 3 meals a day with no snacks. Dessert only on special occasions. All 4 were very good eaters and would eat whatever I fixed. I just wish I had known more about nutrition for them as well as myself! I think you're doing a fantastic job!!
I am so thankful for mindful teaching of your Littles the better nutrition for them. I wish this would have been taught to me. It has taken in and out of diets to figure this out for myself. 3 years on Low carb diet for me, but now I'm more Ketovore.
I am always amazed at people questioning other people about the raising of their children, agree with you. I don't judge other Mom's, we all are doing the best we know and that we can afford or physically do. Your children are beautiful, smart and it isn't any of our business how you choose to feed and raise them. Kudos to you!
If we all could have done that with our kids we would be better off. Its pretty bad when people think eating real food is detrimental . Keep on keeping on Mama!
Looking back at my childhood, my parents raised me and my siblings on a whole food diet. Breakfast was at six, dinner was done by six and if you asked for more food after dinner, you were told that the kitchen was closed, you should have eaten more at dinner.
I am grateful to see more parents returning to that type of healthy eating. More importantly I am impressed with your gratitude for all that you have in your life. God knows you and your family have waded through some pretty dark times.
Love your couch!!!! We should all be giving our children healthy food and no junk food or candy…
THANK YOU for teaching your children right. They won't have all the hang ups and illnesses that most of us are recovering from since childhood. Bless you both for being AWESOME parents. ❤
Your kids’ menu is mouth-watering…! 😋
I wish I knew all this when I was raising my boys! I think your doing a super job!! You and Dr. Berry are amazing people!! Don't ever stop doing what you guys are doing!
I'm glad I at least figured it out by the time my son was 8 (he is 20 now), and from age 8 on it was bacon, sausage, eggs for breakfast. A packed lunch in a thermos (from whatever I cooked the night before). Then, each night I'd cook up dinner. Going out to eat was MAYBE two or three times a year! It was not deprivation, just eating out never made anyone feel good! Seriously it was ME cooking 3 meals a day! (sometimes heating leftovers of course)
You are a wonderful Mother, taking the time to make sure your kids are well nourished and it shows in them. They look so healthy. Like they say “the proof is in the pudding”❤
As a grandmother looking back on my pregnancies and child rearing all I can say is the useless "I wish I knew then what I know now". If I had been willing back then to drastically improve my diet I might have given my 4 kids a better start. Two of my 4 kids are ADD and dyslexic and 3 have had issues with depression as adults. I also had 2 miscarriages. Can I prove any of this was due to my diet and less than healthy body? Not completely, but with what I'm learning it sure seems possible. I didn't feed them terrible as kids, but I sure could have done better !. I'm now trying to help myself feel better after many years of gobbling down sugar and garbage. I'm trying to share what I've been leaning with my kids so they can feel better and feed my 4 grandkids better...unfortunately it's falling on deaf ears. I appreciate how you are raising your family and the example you are setting. It's inspirational even at my age. I'm going to keep trying with my family and hope they will see me feeling better and take notice. Thanks for all you and Dr Ken do to raise awareness :)
Great Video! I am 56 years old and I wish my mom had known what I know now. But she didn't so I am trying to stay ketovore/carnivore. I don't look in the past because we have been lied to for thousands of years on nutrition. I look at it this way. You are the mom, these people saying these things are not, they are just opinions. You know whats best for your kids. I love your channel
Thanks for this video, Neisha! My child is 2 and you gave me the courage to be keto during pregnancy and to feed my child a whole food, low sugar diet since she was old enough to begin eating! She is smart, kind, and doing very well. I often have to defend these eating choices to those who are uninformed, but I know I'm doing the right thing and setting her up for good eating habits in the future. Thank you!
