For more than half of all children with epilepsy, the only reliable
way to control seizures is the ketogenic diet, a rigid,
mathematically calculated, doctor-supervised regimen that is high
in fat and low in carbohydrate and protein, and strictly limits
both calories and liquid intake.
In "Keto Kid: Helping Your Child Succeed on the Ketogenic Diet,"
Deborah Snyder, a family physician and mother of a four-year-old,
keto kid, provides compassionate advice for parents transitioning
to a lifestyle where one extra bite of food can have serious
repercussions on a child's health.
This unique book gives readers all the facts about the
day-to-day management of the diet, while communicating the
emotional struggle encountered by children when they mourn the loss
of their favorite foods, and must learn rigid self-denial at a very
young age.
Topics covered include:
Recipes for keto-friendly meals, and tips for making this
limited diet more interesting Managing deeply food-oriented
occasions like holidays and parties Time-saving strategies, such as
pre-weighing and freezing meals Dealing with the emotional loss of
a child's favorite foods A day-by-day account of life on the
ketogenic diet, in diary form And much more
Snyder is calm, direct, and above all, hopeful. "Keto Kid" is a
practical guide that will enable families to successfully master
the ketogenic diet, while making the experience as pleasant as
possible for both child and parent.
