[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 231465, member: 5663"] It was me that commented on the carbs, but I was totally serious! Get the underweight kids to eat things other than carbs! My daughter is tall and skinny, as a baby we fed her a lot of things that helped keep her too skinny. I still have lots of issues with her clothing, by the time they fit around the waist they're too short. But although she's lean, she's never been undernourished. Things high in good fat are good, like olives and avocados. I can't stand either, but kids love to put olives on their fingers to eat. You can make avocados into guacamole to help the flavor. Of course they're kids and need the carbs, but you have to balance it out so the weight actually sticks. Then when they're older they have conditioned themselves to eat better and won't get fat as a teenager!!! I'm always trying to add a little extra good fat to my daughter's diet. She loves carbs too but will only keep the weight on with a balanced diet. Add omega-3s, you can get strawberry flavored fish oil pills from Nordic Naturals. And add more beans and legumes to the diet. They're little super foods packed with lots of good vitamins and protien. Carbs should be balanced with foods like this. [/QUOTE]
