for those asking about children and low carb, I just explained to my two (4 and 6 at the time) that we were going to change some of what we eat so we can be healthy and grow strong muscles. they eat what we eat with the addition of occasional rice or potatoes. they have a few more carby snacks like nakd bars, and they have crisps occasionally as I feel potatoes are better than biscuits. for breakfast they have Greek yog and fruit or porridge. they also have gluten free bread now for sandwiches in their packed lunch.
I let them have a few more carbs because their brains are still growing and they probably do need more than me
.
the 'ear like a dinosaur' book is good for explaining to children themselves about eating this way. it is cheapest on kindle.
I noticed that my DC weren't constantly hungry and their behaviour improved too.
my main concern was to reduce the sugar dramatically and to cut out wheat as DD appears to have similar reactions to wheat as DH and he has ibs.
hope this helps.

coldethyl my DC still have dairy.
[waves at whippoorwill] whip also has success with feeding her DC paleo iirc.
I have not been too hungry today so expect I am in full blown ketosis. only problem is I am not tired but am in work early in the morning. I had this problem when I first went into ketosis when I started low carb last Feb. I seem to get the euphoric feeling at the wrong time of day

Count me in - don't know what happened over Christmas but I appear to be 8lb heavier 
I find it a bit of a struggle to properly low carb - I'm not in UK and access to fresh veg and salad is not ways great but I'm going to do what I can, cut out the booze and so how I go

I have PCOS and probable insulin resistence. Im not sure if others here have PCOS, but I found that my skin cleared up, and the excess hairiness (i get chin hairs & a sligh tashe 
) really cleared up - i love all the side effects of eating low carb
