My son whom is six is diagnosed with a mood disorder. His psychiatrist advised me to put him on a low-carb sugar-free diet. (He has been gaining alot of weight on his meds, and this diet is also may help with his behavior.) Here are my questions:How low carb should we go-what should we limit his carbs to? Doesn't he need some to be healthy and what would you say the recommended amount should be?Would sugar substitutes be alright a little bit... like sugar free syrup in his milk to replace the Nesquick that he usually has in it. I have seen sugar free ones in the store made with Splenda. Would these be alright? The other thing I know he will have a hard time with is he likes to eat fruit snacks... what could I replace them with?Does sugar free include fruit? I know fruit has natural sugars in it. Do they count as the same thing?
