[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2320155, member: 451727"] Hi, it's a tricky one for sure because you want to make sure your daughter has all the nutrition she needs at that age and I'm not sure whether a very low carb diet (as in VERY strict/keto) would be suitable. What are her meals made up of now?, I'm guessing she doesn't eat sweets galore and the obviously high sugar items (cakes, chocolate bars and so on). I think I would stick low carb (which you are already doing) but stick to the 'healthier' carbs, yes I know, many adults on here say there is no such thing and that's fine, a person can survive without them but a 6 year old I'm not sure that's doable. On a keto diet I wonder what meals you would feed her? Under 30 carbs is very restrictive I feel. Having said that, I'm thinking that it would actually be very difficult to feed a 6 year old up to 60 carbs a meal based on healthy meals?, the portions of carbs would be huge. x [/QUOTE]
