There are a couple of discussions about this in the NG, but thanks for
your input.

Well, I'm not sure if it's OT or not, but I appreciate the information. I
have a 13yo daughter who wants to start LC-ing (I'm procrastinating like
crazy, I have no idea what she needs in terms of carbs whilst she's
growing), and I need to know what might happen if her perfectly normal
interest in her body tips over into something of more concern.
Nicky.

Carbs are used for energy, not growth. The thing you need most for growth
is protein. The only thing you really need foods containing carbs for is
the nice vitamins, minerals and oxidants they contain and those are found
most abundantly in the low carb veggies and fruits. You didn't say if she
was overweight so that would affect how many carbs would be appropriate but
there really is no need for her to eat potatoes and rice and grains,
particularly refined grains.
