[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are being fed sufficient and nutritious food? Find something else to think is “insane”. [/quote]

Carbs are a nutrient that growing children need.  So, no.  A child on a low carb diet isn't getting sufficient nutritious food.  [/quote]

If the kid is getting sufficient fresh vegetables they’re getting plenty of carbs. If they’re getting fruit, even more so. Children lived for generations before we started feeding them Kraft macaroni and cheese and goldfish every day.

Presumably since we’re in the D.C area, these kids have a pediatrician. If they’re not worried, you don’t need to be.[/quote]

No one on this thread has said that kids need kraft macaroni or goldfish.  But restricting fruit, and whole grains, and other carb heavy foods like sweet potatoes, carrots, and legumes, which is what an actual low carb diet does, is not safe for kids.

I don't live with these kids but their parents are "mompreneurs" and post nonstop about their keto diets and their kids keto diets, so according to the vast amount of info they put online, no, their kids are not allowed oatmeal.

If it restricts it to below 150-200g potentially. But something tells me that these kids are getting a healthier diet than OPs kids and that’s why she’s calling it “insane”. Since OP presumably doesn’t live with these kids she doesn’t know they don’t eat oatmeal every morning.[/quote][/quote]

Ok so first, don’t believe everything you read on social media.

Second, don’t be so invested in someone’s social media that you can get upset over it.[/quote]
