I have two boys, 9 and 11, who are going on a LC diet as of the first day of school. My nine yo is average height and overly round at 110#. My 11 yo is going thru a growth spurt and has really slimmed down but has some torso fat.
My question is how much to limit milk for growing bones? I am modifying Atkins for them and figured using 20 carbs like induction, but also allowing milk with meals and other calcium from spinach and the like. At 12 grams per serving-that would put them at 36+20=56 grams.
Has anyone had any luck with doing something similar for their kids? Do you think that would limit carbs too much for growing boys?
