My kids are probably moderate carb, although my middle son is high carb (potatoes and rice). I'd like them to go lower carb, but the fact that they eat very little processed food probably helps keep their carbs healthier.... I'm strict with food. I rarely allow more than 1 slice of bread each per day (because gluten free bread is fluff and darn expensive) and I even make them measure out their syrup - 1 Tbs for two pancakes, and the pancakes are made from protein powder, flax meal, coconut flour, hemp, chia, and a LOT of eggs.

Their, poison of choice is fruits, and raisins - they'll grab a handfull every day...I hate that.

I tell them to call me "Mommy Kill Joy".

Both of mine are MSPI. So from very early on that ruled out a lot of processed things because of soy and they've been raised on hemp milk. As they've gotten older (4, 6) they've tolerated more dairy and are now not reacting to cow milk cheese but still no soy or cows milk. Long story short we are protein pushers, they don't eat much processed and I no longer police what they get at school. So they are most likely "slow carb" or moderate carb.

I feed my kids (13,15) lchf bkfst, lunch and dinner. They are surrounded by carbs and sugar at school and I am sure they don't always avoid it. I know when we eat out, church, and family meals they still choose carbs, but typically no sweetened beverages. I would say their diet is 75% lchf. Both of them have slimmed up but not dropped a lot of weight. My youngest no longer gets hypoglycemia symptoms between meals.

My 20 year old has naturally eaten low carb foods most of the time for most of his life. For the past year he has been lifting weights and has built lots of muscle quickly. He eats lots of eggs, tuna, chicken and cottage cheese. He does eat higher carb foods occasionally but always complains how bad he feels after. I think he will eventually go lower carb on his own. My youngest (13 almost 14) is a carb monster. He actually gets very upset if he doesn't have potatoes and/or bread with his meals. With that being said I have decided for his health I am going to stop buying his processed breakfast burritos and give him boiled eggs (his fave) with sausage or bacon for breakfast. Or protein pancakes (made with cottage cheese and eggs)...something lower carb than what he's used to. After he stops complaining about that (LOL) I will take more carbs away from dinner and snacks. Good thing he really does love pepperoni and cheese for snacks! He played football this year and is also lifting weights but is not seeing the same results as his brother. I really feel like carbs have something to do with that. I know I have no control over what he eats at school and I know he will choose carbs and sugary drinks every time. If he eats healthier foods more often then I am hoping his taste buds will change. I know it's going to be a fight and I will probably want to pull my hair out but I feel like it is something he needs. He is also hypothyroid (like me) and carbs are not my friend. I've told him this repeatedly but he ignores it. So I am going to give him a gentle push. I've always made healthy meals though higher carb in the past. I was big on whole wheat breads, cereals, etc. Now I know better. If anyone else is interested in doing the same with their kids (or already are) please send me a friend request and either mention this board or keto kids.

My adult kid eats keto. Does that count? Lol
She's T1D and does very well. Much much better blood sugar and weight control and overall feeling great without the carbs.

A friend of mine, not in our group is making the switch for her 4 year old this week. She already ate low carb but has an apple juice habit that's the goal to break right now. Her other 2 teens, and her husband recently went keto too. If all goes well, she has the whole family switched over! I wish I could get my son and husband to commit.

It's unintentionally but my 6years old naturally prefers a lchf diet he basically dips meat in olive oil and homemade mayonnaise, he eats tuna and sardine drenched in olive oil with a spoon. He just hates rice potatoes and pasta. For example of i made pasta he only eats a bowl of sauce. No sweets either he can sit next to a candy jar or chocolate and he is not tempted. He eats fruits like green apple and berries, his favorite and occasionally pear, kaki. been like this since he was 2 to 3years old. He is lean. He has no health problem, he is in the 90% of the growth curve for height and 50% for weight. Basically I guess if you only feed him real food like meat cheese fish egg fruits and non starchy vegetable it might help and I am sure it won't hurt.

Oh its my husband influence his family lived in Italy for a while
