Author, certified health coach and former Miss Universe model, Rachael Finch is raising her children on a sugar-free diet.
Now, she’t told The Morning Show how she prevents her eldest, three-year-old daughter Violet, from over-indulging at children’s parties.
“It does get a bit tricky because it’s hot chips and nuggets and sweets and lollies on the table,” the 28-year-old told The Morning Show.
“So I make sure before we leave the house I fill her up with good food and she knows it’s a treat.”
That – understanding it’s a treat – is the most important thing, according to Finch’s husband Michael Miziner.
“That’s the the biggest thing: Knowing you can have it every now and again, but not every single day of your life,” Miziner, a dance instructor, also told The Morning Show.

I think emphasising that you can have sugar as a treat is a good point. The absolute bans on junk/sugar never seem to end well. I once saw a kid at a 4 year old's party demolishing a bowl of cheezels, because they weren't allowed to have any junk food at home and they saw their chance when their parents were distracted.
Those kids are hardly living on a diet "devoid" of sugar if their parents allow them to indulge in a treat now and then. Saying they're on a diet "devoid" of sugar makes it sound more extreme than it really is.
