Our son started on this around age 3 when he was having a ton of atonic (drop) seizures and some grand mal seizures, and he stopped seizing and started independently walking within 2 weeks! We stayed on it for 4 years, and then were able to use only a small dose of seizure medicine since then. He’s 18 now! We worked closely with our neurologist and a dietician to monitor things, and we prepared about 4 days of meals at a time into sectioned plastic containers as it required very specific measurements and ingredients of high fat and low carb items. If you can use a newer approach like LGI with similar effects, it’s worth it!! We think our son was able to develop mentally and process information better when his seizures were controlled.

My daughter has been on a modified keto diet for over two years. The tips that have helped me are to have a few items always on hand and to make sure I either bring these when we travel or pick them up when we arrive Here are her top 10 foods.: 1. Pepperoni (travels easily, yummy snack that needs no pairing); 2. MCT Oil (we can add this to pretty much anything); 3. Carrots (because she always wants a little something crunchy); 4. Peanut butter (for those before bed easy snacks); 5. Canned tuna or chicken with mayo (just in case there is nothing else for dinner she can eat); 6. Avocado (healthy fat with the bonus of dietary fiber to help with constipation); 7. Salad stuff (for the lunches she takes every day to school); 8. Eggs (she eats three for breakfast, and we usually keep boiled ones on hand); 9. Butter for cooking those morning eggs; 10. Fat Bombs (made with coconut oil, peanut butter, cocoa and stevia)
