Hi there. We do about the same, my children have what they want at school for breakfast and lunch, but for dinner its low carb all the way. My daughter is very small for her age, only weighs about 48 pounds and is 9, my son is about 85 pounds and is 11, they both take after their father and have no weight problem (for now that is). Since I don't buy the sweet stuff any longer, they go without. I made the sour cream banana bread and they both loved it and thought I had went off me diet LOL. Little did they know it was low carb.
I'm trying to teach them about the affects of sugar, and since I have cut them way back on sugar, my daughter (who has been diagnosed with ADD) is doing wonders in school this year, the teachers have asked me if I put her on ritilin (no), I just changed her diet.
My husband has never had a weight problem but has been on very high dosage of blood pressure medicine. After reading an article in this forum about the effects of carbs and your blood pressure, my husband has tried to stick to low carb with me. He went in for a check up on his medication, and the doctor found that he now can go to a smaller dosage of medication. We are hoping eventually he can come off the medication completely.
Low carb, whether your over weight or not has proved to be a blessing for my family.
