[QUOTE="ally5555, post: 46415, member: 7357"] hi there lowering the carbs may be fine but I think it would be good to get it checked over - a snapshot analysis of adults diets on here has highlighted the need to look at microntrients . Go and talk to the dietitian and tell her honestly what you want to do. But dont think of kids in the same way as adults their needs are very different - it may be difficult to get enough energy from a low carb diet as kids have different tastes. another probelm for kids is that if you exclude every food that their friends eat then you are realiy in danger of making them feel more different. Parents often need more support than the kids- it is tough but it sounds like you are doing a great job. Meeting other parents is also useful - and you would if you go on one of the courses - face to face is so much better! Kids on here who are carb counting seem to be doing very well - I still see some of the kids I used to carb count with (pre dafne) and they sre still carb counting and are very well indeed. [/QUOTE]
