In 2000, we started the Feingold Diet to help us with Bryan's adhd behaviors. I never thought "just a diet" would work, but Bryan's hyper-ness every day was really trying. Turns out just one week on Feingold (pronounced "Fine-Gold") turned things around so much that I will never go back to the way we ate before. Bryan's hyper behavior changed so much that a year after starting Feingold, he and three other boys were asked to start up the men's gymnastic team at Shoals School of Gymnastics. The coach had no clue that Bryan was dealing with adhd--the diet helped him so much that he was a calm and focused soul on the team.
This past week there have been numerous articles and TV news clips about diet and hyperactivity, and it has caused a stir! My friends at Feingold and I are just nodding our heads, saying, "yes, we knew it all along!"
