We tried this diet for our boys and I admire you for giving it a go. I found it very hard to stick to as they wouldnt eat any of the food, and in the end I just gave in. But I do remember trying it quite a few times!! I wish you lots of luck, I do think its worth trying as every child is different. Its just awkward to keep up.
