Re: Re: On the Diet a week & she's ready to give up.

Our Keto team never allowed sugar--NONE

So Cheerios were a No -No

Even most breads

SO CAUTION to these foods

BUT the health food stores have great alternatives--sweetened with fruit

juice

Healthier--carbs

Many breads are unsweetened

We still use NO sugar--only fruit sweetened foods

and some no-sugar sweeteners

Others on the list have used foods with sugars--gold-fish

crackers--cheerios, etc...

Every team is different

It is all trial & Error

Every child is different

Thanks so much for the great recipe ideas. I'm willing to try ANYTHING!!! It's

great to have other parents in the same boat. We watch our kids suffer with

seizures, cognitive issues,& med side effects only to offer them this

restrictive diet and tell them it's for their own good. I feel terrible. I'm

going to keep encouraging her and offer gifts, hugs, kisses and whatever else I

can to keep her motivated.

Hayley is on a 3:5:1 ratio....pretty restrictive from what I've seen so far.

Bread is her biggest complaint right now. If she knew she could have a pita( low

carb) pocket even once a day that would be HUGE for her.

I'll keep reading all the great suggestions, you guys are the REAL experts in my

opinion. Thanks for all the support.

By the way, her ketones are high(160+) her specific gravity is about 1.020 so I

think she's doing really well so far. No seizures since starting the diet(

YEAH).

I'll keep you posted.

I do not know how " sensitive " your child is with the diet

My daughter tolerates the " low carb Depot Bread " --it has equal carbs and

protein--easy to put into a 3.5:1 ratio

This is the ratio my daughter was on for 2 yrs

We made muffins from ground macadamia nuts for the flour--

Check all these great recipes on the keto Yahoo site--
