The diet bans grains and dairy, favoring foods \u201ccavemen could scavenge for,\u201d like meat, fish, eggs, fruits, and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>The diet seems extreme, but the Australian mother maintained that Grace almost never gets sick and \u201cloves\u201d eating healthy foods.<\/p>\n<p>For breakfast, Grace typically has eggs fried in coconut oil with roasted veggies like sweet potato, carrots, potatoes, and steamed broccoli, a quarter of an avocado, and a small scoop of sauerkraut. Lunch consists of something like organic roasted chicken and roasted and steamed vegetables like broccoli. Grace snacks on fruit throughout the day, strawberries and bananas being her favorite.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTkwNzA3NzY5NjE4MzQzODA0\/sugar2.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MTkwNzA3NzY5NjE4MzQzODA0\/sugar2.webp 620w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTkwNzA3NzY5NjE4MzQzODA0\/sugar2.webp 700w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTkwNzA3NzY5NjE4MzQzODA0\/sugar2.png 380w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MTkwNzA3NzY5NjE4MzQzODA0\/sugar2.png 620w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTkwNzA3NzY5NjE4MzQzODA0\/sugar2.png 700w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/t_share\/MTkwNzA3NzY5NjE4MzQzODA0\/sugar2.png\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Shan Cooper with her daughter Grace in a photo posted to her instagram, Photo Credit: Instagram\/myfoodreligion\" width=\"1192\" height=\"1194\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTkwNzA3NzY5NjE4MzQzODA0\/sugar2.png\" \/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\">Shan Cooper with her daughter Grace in a photo posted to her instagram, Photo Credit:\u00a0Instagram\/myfoodreligion<\/p>\n<p>Dinner includes something like spaghetti Bolognese (made with zucchini noodles of course), with organic beef topped with organic tomato sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Shan, who has an agricultural science degree and is the author of a healthy recipe e-book, stated that her daughter only had a cold once.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe spends a lot of time around other kids who are sick all the time \u2014 who have snotty noses, coughs, colds \u2014 but she just doesn\u2019t pick it up,\u201d she told Daily Mail. \u201cIt\u2019s certainly not because I\u2019m shielding her from any of that stuff.
