I have a 14 year old and a 10 year old and they both eat low carb....actually my whole family does, and has since 1999. They eat what I eat except I add a piece of fruit to their lunches and give them some whole wheat bread a few times a week. Since we have been doing it for so long we also have brown rice, oatmeal and whole wheat pasta once a week or so. A typical menu for them might be...
Breakfast:
Oatmeal with some Meat (sugar free ham or sausage or bacon or even chicken or some other meat I happen to have around)
Eggs and some Meat (same as above)
Whole Wheat bread with Peanut Butter
Whole Wheat bread with melted Cheese
Lunch:
Home Made Lunchable (Meat, Cheese, Whole Wheat Crackers) celery and or carrots and a piece of Fruit.
Peanut Butter Sandwich, some soy chips (we get them at Giant Foods...they come in BBQ, Ranch, and Garlic and Onion) Fruit and maybe some Celery and or Carrots.
Tuna Salad (with crackers or as a sandwich....with the above "go withs")
Dinner:
What ever I make (low carb) with a sugar free dessert.
Never do they complain and they have no idea that making the "right choices" is eating "low carb". They do have a (one)cupcake every now and then at a school party or a (one)doughnut at church but in my opinion it isn't the little treats along the way that make you over weight it's the stuff you eat day in and day out. I hope that I am teaching my girls how to make good healthy choices. It seems to be working
Hope this helps
