[Equackasous]

I don't have any reference sources for you.

I can tell you that by generally just eating good foods under Atkins you will be teaching her what food looks like. Sure, you can add some side dishes just for her, and allow the occasional trip to fast food... and birthday cake (or sugar free cheesecake - my daughter's preferred birthday treat.)

Monitor the kids' weight - if they are getting too light on a hight/weight chart - add some carby side dishes - if not - there are only a few things they may not get enough of with Atkins.

If they are young, I would still insist they drink milk for calcium and vitamin D. (I think all US milk is vit. D fortified - you might have to watch the cartons on organic milk to make sure.) Also, I belive a children's vitamin would be in order each day. Perhaps someone else can step in and comment on the specific nutrinets (B Vitamines?) that can be missing from an Atkins diet.[/img]
