Hey there,

If your child is on lowcarb diet, then they should not be having the  cereals you mentioned for breakfast...try weetbix or porridge. They should not have juice or sprite. As a treat once a week, they could have watered down juice...ie: apple juice 50: 50 with water. You should make sure theat they are having multigrain bread when eating toast or sandwiches. Try making a casserole for dinner using heart smart veal ( no or little fat) with lots of veggies and basmati rice to  thicken ( rule of thumb - 4 cups raw veggies to 1 cup raw meat) ...low carb ..good protein. Spag bol using heart smart mince and lots of grated veggies. Again, use at LEAST double the veggies to meat ratio plus a tin of diced tomatoes!!( Grate carrots, zucchini and dice broccoli into the mix!) Use low fatt cheese and reduced fat yoghurt. THe more natural your childs diet is , the better off they are! My daughters snacks include ..rice crackers, rice cakes spread with avocado, cashew nuts, diced fruit - apples, bananas and oranges. She loves dip with rice crackers...hommous , basil and cashew nut dip ( high protein, low GI) She also loves olives, loe fat feta and other nibbles as a treat. As a special treat, you can give them a low carb / low fat ice cream in a cone. My cherub loves this!!!!!

a little more to Bindi's answer if you google Sue Dengate you can download her failsafe booklet, I have for my son and it is amazing in just one week I had a different child.

I have had some difficulties with my son's diet too.   Our diet was not necessarily the same as yours but the questions you are asking are similar to the ones I had.  There is a great booK written by an Australian lady named Sue Dengate.  It is called "Fed Up with ADHD" .  She takes you through the Failsafe dietary recommendations.  I have done this with my son from the elimination diet through to maintenance.  Could I suggest that you do this with the help of a dietician as it is really too hard to go it alone!  You must persist though the kids will benefit greatly and your life will get easier.  Be prepared for a bit of a tough run initially as you put the children through change.  If you are consistent they will get used to it quickly.  It is much easier to do it for all of the family in the first instance.  It saves preparing multiple meal plans but it also lets the kids see you suppot them.  Goodluck.
