[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your body can easily convert protein to glucose. As long as it isn’t a true keto (almost all fat) diet, the kids’ bodies will process it like any other American diet. [/quote] There are other consequences of having too much protein and too little carb beyond just immediate energy consumption. Eg too much protein is bad for kidneys. Too little carb restricts healthy hormone activity. Too little fiber is bad for numerous reasons. Now, there is a lot of confusion on this thread about what carbs actually are but that’s another topic. Finally, kids do best when they have a lot of food options to select from, otherwise they don’t natively develop a sense of what tastes and feels good. No, this does not mean they need large exposure to processed garbage (although fully restricting that stuff is also counter productive). But there is a large range of high quality carbohydrate foods.[/quote]
