‘Kids on keto’ diet trend sparks controversy

For Abby Durlewanger, putting her kids on the low-carb and low-sugar ketogenic diet was as easy as taking candy from a baby. 

“My children are happy and healthy, and they love the keto lifestyle we lead,” the mom of two and food influencer, who goes by House of Keto on TikTok, told The Post. “They’re not being deprived of junk food, they’re being empowered to make better food choices.”  Three years ago, prompted by a desire to keep her kids healthy, Durlewanger, 32, stopped buying doughnuts and microwave mac ‘n’ cheese. She transitioned her entire household to a keto lifestyle — a regimen that promotes eating lean proteins such as turkey and high-fat foods including dairy and nuts.
