Any reason not to serve kids
Is there any reason not to serve my kids, ages 9 and 11 the new low carb
products on the market? Like the milk, bread, ice cream, etc.? Thanks! |

I'd be careful about serving them anything with the sugar alcohols in them, for the same reasons it's good for adults to exhibit caution - gastrointestinal effects (i.e. diarrhea). Most of the rest ought to be fine. The breads tend to have lots of fiber in them too. :-) Take care, Carmen |

tripped the light fantastic, then quipped: Is there any reason not to serve my kids, ages 9 and 11 the new low carb products on the market? Like the milk, bread, ice cream, etc.? Thanks! I can't answer this from a medical viewpoint, but I wouldn't think it would be harmful for them at all. However, if they eat an iota as much as my kids do, your grocery bill is going to increase enormously! I try my best to make (and bake) most of my own LC foods, because I can't justify the price of many LC products, simply for the convenience.

Any reason not to serve kids
Last week I bought the HomePride low carb bread. I only had a few pieces of
it, and served the rest of it to my kid for her pb&j sandwiches...and she never noticed the difference. I figure the extra fiber and the fact that its not plain white wonderbread can only be a good thing. Tracey "John" wrote in message newspiTb.206080$xy6.1056621@attbi_s02...

I personally wouldn't unless they are fat. If they are not, I would let
them eat good healthy whole foods. There are many people that eat what they want and don't gain. As long as they are getting the vitamins they need and plenty of calcium. JMHO.

As opposed to fries, cookies, regular ice cream and sugar laden soft drinks? I would warn them about the diarrea, but other than that, you are training them for a healthful WOE IMO. PJ .. |

Just serve them healthy, whole foods. Stay away from anything processed. Remember, the jury's really not in on whether these low carb products have bad side effects or not. Why risk it? Just give your kids healthy foods -- whole foods -- meat, fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads (if they must eat bread). Remember -- the longer the list of ingredients, the worse a food is. -- nimue "There was a time when I was young and gay -- but straight." Max Bialystock |

It's sort-of amusing to me that I have switched her to "Light" (or is it "Lite"?) Wonderbread as an improvement--and that I even eat Light Wheat Wonderbread myself sometimes. I am embarrassed to buy it, but it is better than the LC breads I have tried. -- Jean B. |

Any reason not to serve kids
John,
If your children are not low carbing, there is a reason not to serve them some of the low carb foods: they are often higher in fat than regular foods. If a person is not low carbing, that extra fat is likely to be turned into body fat. Always keep in mind that while fat without carbs works for losing weight, the combination of fat and carbs is poison. The carbs raise the insulin level and the insulin stores the fat into fat cells. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.
