[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We generally make tween DD ask before eating a snack. Otherwise it'd be lots of carbs, too much food too close to dinnertime, and not hungry at lunch or dinner.  DD was also putting on pounds since covid lockdown, between too many carbs and not enough exercise.  We're all now exercising and watching what we eat, and we're all much healthier.  Unless it's too close to dinner, we say yes to the snack and figure out together what that snack will be.  "Can I have another muffin?" "No, that would be 3 muffins in one day. How about a banana?" "OK."[/quote]
So, was just your DD eating too many carbs, or was this your and your dh as well? I get it if kids are gaining way too much weight, you gotta do what you gotta do. I do wonder why you felt the need to include the fact about "lots of carbs." Carbs are not the devil. People should not wear a cross and a wreath of garlic to stave off carbs! That is nothing but a fad of the rich and bored. Fruit and veg are carbs. Surely, you do not think fruit is a bad carb? Cause, there are people like that on dcum. We had a pp post that she doesn't want her toddler eating fruit due to sugar and carb content.[/quote]
