Stunted growth: Please contact your pediatrician and ask for a copy of your growth charts. If your growth appears to have stopped you need to see a pediatric endocrinologist as soon as possible.

Moderate carb ingest: Low-carb diets may help prevent / improve serious health conditions, --metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure & cardiovascular disease. Any diet that helps U shed excess weight can reduce or even reverse risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories should come from carbohydrates. That's equal to about 225 to 325 gms if u eat 2000 cal/d
