Hi, I am on a ketogenic diet, have you ever heard of this type of diet?
I have! I heard it forces the body to burn fat instead of carbs.
That is correct, primarily this diet is used to treat epilepsy in children but my doctor recommended it to me because of my medical condition.
Ketone bodies pass into the brain as an energy source for it.
That is interesting, this diet was originally developed to replace fasting as a treatment for epilepsy.
I did not know that. Ketosis is a result of the diet and cuts down on epileptic events.
Yes, I have also heard that the diet has had good results in reducing seizures. The Ketogenic diet is considered a medical nutrition therapy.
Yes, it is wonderful for cutting down on seizures and epilepsy and those events.
