Has anyone tried to put their kid(s) on a Keto diet

I wouldn’t put my son on any kind of diet. I give him anything and everything that isn’t full of processed foods, sodium, sugar, etc.

It’s just a low carb more healthy fats eating plan

My son is basically on keto because I am. Not strictly though he's a little young.

Nope, I don’t believe in restricting my kids diet. I eat paleo but my kids don’t. Everything in moderation and we do try to stay away from junk obviously

@monkeysalwayswin, because I’d rather my kids eat clean then eat a bunch of stuff that’s not good for them and I don’t see the problem with that

@kambam, okay I was just thinking of introducing it not sure if my kids will actually eat it though lol

Go for it. My son does keto without the restrictions of my macros. So he eats steak, ground beef, eggs, cheese, yogurt, veggies, butter, chicken, fish. He gets things like potatoes and toast with his meals but I don't.

@kambam, okay great they eat all that stuff anyway so I would mainly be cutting out the processed foods right?

Children need a well balanced diet. The keto diet would be dangerous for children who are still growing. The only recommendation I found for using it with children was in cases of epilepsy.

@yayacarrington, okay thank you

Yes. Just stick to whole foods and for carbs I stay away from gluten carbs too so I only do corn, potato, quinoa or other veggie/gluten free grain based carbs

Tonight we're having bbq ribs, spinach and cheese noodles for him and cauliflower roasted w butter n garlic

Omg, that’s great! I’m gonna look into it I just found some recipes
