I made a thread earlier about being on my 2nd day on low-carb. Im a junior in high school (17 yrs old) and was wondering if it would be a bad idea for me to continue on this way of eating. I was just very interested in how this worked and I need to lose weight so I though that I would give it a try. My mother seems to be concerned about me not getting enough calcium, vitamins, etc even though I am taking the daily vitamins. She also says that she's worried because my body is still developing. Should I/she be worried? Should I discontinue this way of eating? How did you get started?
