We all know how well livin' la vida low-carb works for adults to produce weight loss, improvements in health, and changes in your life that are simply indescribable. I can personally attest to all three of these and enjoy proclaiming them boldly and proudly here as much as possible on a daily basis.

But what about children and teenagers? Is a low-carb diet appropriate for them, too? Well, according to a new study, the answer to that question is a resounding and undeniable YES!

Lead researcher Dr. Robert Siegel, medical director at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, wanted to see the impact of a low-carbohydrate diet weight loss approach on obese teenagers when a pediatrician is involved in dietary recommendations and support. The study lasted six months and carbohydrate restriction was the primary means for attaining the objective.

So, how well did livin' la vida low-carb perform for these teens?

An average 11-pound weight loss, a "significant decrease" in their BMI and a huge boost in their self-esteem. Are we REALLY surprised? :)

Wanna know what else happened to the teens in the study typical of a low-carb diet? They spontaneously cut back on their calories. Yep, even without counting them, the average daily caloric intake was CUT IN HALF--an incredible 1200 calories--from 2,401 down to 1,153. This study shows it's true!
