I do believe that low carb is healthy for kids. I had no idea what low carb was when I was a kid but I was skinny as a rail. I did not eat rice or breads. The only time I ate bread was when it was on a sandwich. Never had it with a meal. I did eat corn and potatoes. I also ate candy but my sweet consumption was strictly policed by my mom. Now if I had a diet that consisted of strawberries, raspberries, cantalope, blackberries,honeydew, spinach, turnip greens, mustard greens, collards,kale, bell peppers ( all the colors ), jacima, avocado ( the most nutritious fruit on the planet ), radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, romaine lettuce,full fat yogurt and cottage cheese, mushrooms,butter, olive oil, peanut oil, chicken, fish ,eggs, cheese, beef and pork, to name just a few. Not only will you lose weight but you will be the healthiest kid on the block-Beleedat. Just because you have alot of weight to lose doesn't mean that you have to stay longer than 2 weeks on induction. After 2 weeks begin adding macadamia, brazil nuts and almonds. You can also begin adding berries.
You can even get low carb milk so Mom won't need to worry about where your calcium would come from. There are also low carb cereals that you can add after induction
. Now, I am a mom and I was once a kid so I know that there are alot of things that you don't like. As a mom I am telling you to try everything. I can also guarantee you that if you are mindful of your servings, for example:For breakfast, do not exceed 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 4 ozs of cheese, You will be healthy and you will lose weight. Throw a veggie in a breakfast time like asparagus or broccoli. Although everyone is different, kids have a very high metabolism so I am guessing that the weight will come off for you.
Another suggestion is to watch "Low Carb and Loving It" with George Stella. You will get the bulk of your inspiration from watching the beginning of the show where he discusses his weight of over 400 lbs. He had to lose weight. His entire family was very over weight and together they lost nearly 1,000 lbs.
