Here is what I've found with my 6 year old.

I don't LC him on everything, but I do offer cheese sticks, nuts or fruit for snacks as opposed to cookies. Even when not doing LC, I have tended to eat LC dinners anyway and my family eats them with me. We have a great protein meal with some veggies usually. Sometimes they will have wheat bread too.

I noticed that the lack of late night sugar lets my son go to bed and go to sleep, instead of flying all over the house on a sugar high and crashing into bed.

I also use Splenda in our tea and coffee. It's usually that or milk for him.

My older son lives with his dad and we believe is ADHD. His dad although testing him high for it on the Connors scale, is more prone to think he just has a learning disability.

I hope to see if reducing his sugar and limiting his carbs this summer might help a bit. He is here for 8 weeks which should be plenty of time to tell. I am just afraid that his dad will not continue even if there are good results and that he will be worse off...

what do you all think?
