As the parent of an obese teenager, I would like to remind everyone that the parents may not have understood how to eat healthily and couldn't teach their child. I certainly didn't understand how food was processed in the body until starting a lc way of life a year or so ago. Without that knowledge and being overweight myself, I couldn't keep my child from gaining weight. And believe me, I tried.

I truly feel like eating low carb is the solution to a medical problem. It is like a switch has been flipped for me. I wish there were some way for us to get the message about the low carb way of life out to every parent. We need to break the cycle by educating the parents, especially when their children are young.
