[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this to be insane. I know two people who are keto mlm people and they have their kids growing up on a low-carb "keto-lite" diet. Do you know people like this? Does this seem crazy to you or am I off-base?[/quote]

I am a doctor and I find this insane as well. Kids need carbs. [b]I see parents who not only keep their kids low carb but also insist on low carb breakfasts before sports games/events and giving protein bars and sugar/carb free protein shakes during the game[/b]. They need to take an organic chemistry class and understand where energy comes from. Hint, it’s from carbs. [/quote]

And as a mandatory reporter, does this constitute abuse, Dr?[/quote]

NP.  Do you know why the parents have their kids on these kinds of diets?  I can't fathom any good reason ... (although of course I don't think it's abuse)...[/quote]

I assume a misguided understanding of what their kids needs are versus their own. Similar to a parent who is too exhausted to cook and so brings their kid a happy meal every night. The people calling it abuse are just way over the top.[/quote]
