Question Mother or Daugher...Whose the Boss?

I don't know the type of relationship you have with your daugther, so I will just be pretty general. My offspring are 27 and 28 and married. I know you are concerned about your baby but remember:


1. At 14, are you sure you are giving her a healthy body image? She
will probably lose those 25lbs, through activity, and as boys become
the main attraction, she'll want to take care of herself.

2. You could buy Keto Sticks and give her random urine tests. They
turn various shades from pink to dark purple meaning fat is being
used for energy. If they do not turn (sometimes they don't), then
you can pretty much suspect carb intake.

Be careful, children develop eating disorders by mimicking a primary care giver. You don't want to end up with an Anorexic or Bulimic child. I would just let her be for now. I could see if she were 16-18, then I would be concerned. For now though, your low carbing results may encourage her. Happy Low Carbing, Mom!
