Sometimes referred to as a "miracle diet," the ketogenic diet
has helped doctors treat difficult-to-control epileptic seizures in
thousands of children. Coauthored by four respected experts from
Johns Hopkins, "Ketogenic Diets" continues to be the definitive
guide for parents, physicians, and dieticians wanting to implement
this strict diet. Anyone who is placed on the Ketogenic Diet will
be told, essentially "prescribed" by their doctor to get this
book.
This "Fifth Edition" has been extensively updated to reflect
current advances in understanding how the diet works, how it should
be used, and the future role of the diet as a treatment. Six new
chapters address how to integrate the diet into all cultures,
religions, and taste preferences; new information on modified and
less restrictive versions of the diet, and the Modified Atkins Diet
for Epilepsy are included. The book also covers exciting new
research that shows the diet may work for people with other
neurological illnesses.
This best-seller also includes sample meal plans, a food
database, how to calculate foods, and much more.
