March 1st my 15 year old son started keto with me because he had gained a lot of weight since last March when baseball started. He did well the entire month until Saturday, then he cheated by having just one sneaky cookie... then just one hamburger bun, then just one serving of mac and cheese...
then yesterday he said he didnt want to do it anymore. This kid lost 13 lbs in 3 weeks! But sometimes that pressure ...oh man the black and white of it. I told him to just try to track his calories and be aware and hopefully he can see the value of it. I was his age when I formed pretty bad eating habits with freedom of choice outside the home.

Hang in there with your son! Don't pressure him too much, just make sure he has good information and education. If you make a big deal out of it, you run the risk of creating eating disorders and resentment. You know how teenage rebellion goes.🙄 He needs to make these choices for himself, otherwise it will all disappear in a few years when he is on his own. Sometimes raising a teenager is like teaching a sloth to hurry up! Good luck with it I'm sure it will be great!

After loosing well on KETO I tell others to keep your protein levels up to reduce the risk of muscle mass loss and 🏋️♀️!

60pack I will pass the advice on to him and hopefully it'll help him to eat less overall, since what he typically chooses are options that are easy and brainless like a bowl of cereal or a quesadilla

I can’t compete with the advise given, from my own journey if he can just continue to track his intake (Cals) not restricting, just commit to monitoring, was always very powerful for me.
