Hi Leticia,

My son was a very picky eater for a long time, and we still use his one treat of
the day, ice cream, to get him to eat dinner (we aren't doing the keto diet).

Can you have her eat what she likes least first to earn the foods she does like?
Also, you might try positive reinforcement, which is really a bribe system. If
she ate everything she needs to in a day, for example, she gets a non-food
reward you two decide on. It could be anything, play a game she likes, an extra
15 mins. at bedtime, whatever will entice her. As she becomes a more successful
eater you could fade out the rewards to every other day or less.

There are 2 things you can't force a child to do, eat and go to the bathroom.
So for now I'd guess you'd have to make eating worth her while.

Susan
