4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting points about ketosis, 6 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Epilepsy Diet Treatment: Introduction to the Ketogenic Diet (Paperback)
I read this book from a dieter's perspective-- I don't have an epileptic child, however I'm *very* familiar with the concept of ketosis, via low-carb dieting.

If someone needs to put their child on this diet, I would recommend not only getting this book, but also The New Diet Revolution by Dr. Robert Atkins. You will get further explanation of ketosis and 'allowable' foods there, plus, I think, some useful recipes.

This book I'm sure is invaluable for a parent who wants to try a ketotic diet for their child. I am *all* for these kinds of diets personally, and never had weird blood profiles after being on them.

Among the surprises in the book: that restricting fluid intake may help ketosis succeed.

Best wishes with your efforts for your kids-- another thing I should add is that if difficulties persist or ketosis doesn't come about easily-- really be on the lookout for hidden sweets. There's even some suggestion (not in this book) that glycerin (found in some meds and frankly all over) has sugar-like activity in some people-- occasionally even the use of skin creams, soaps, etc. with a 'gly-' component has been restricted in some. But that's for rare cases.

The exchanges described in this book sound a little difficult to follow. While I'd buy this book (definitely) if I wanted to try a kid on a ketogenic diet, I'd also buy others to get a better handle on what to feed them. If it were me, I'd personally probably read it and modify it ala Atkins.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ketogenic diet, 30 April 2006
By P. Yates (Bedfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This excellent book serves as the most useful and comprehensive text for parents wanting to use the ketogenic diet as a treatment of epilepsy for their children. I would recommend any caregiver deciding whether to try the diet to read this from cover to cover along with watching the Meryl Streep film 'first do no harm'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative for first time reading regarding the diet., 4 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Epilepsy Diet Treatment: Introduction to the Ketogenic Diet (Paperback)
I've read this book just prior to starting my child on the diet. We are very optimistic, and the book answered many questions. It it used as a guideline by our dietician. The book is easy to follow and subjects are grouped nicely for later reference. The book offers some recipes, but more ideas on "creative cooking" would have been helpful. We bought 3 and gave one to each family member that would be preparing meals, and to grandparents, who need gentle convincing that the benefits from the diet are worth the sacrifice and effort!

The book talks about how more studies are needed on the keto-diet, but it would have been nice to add how one could become part of a study.

The book goes into detail regarding how to do the calculations, but when you are in the program, the dietician should do that for the family.

Overall, I found the book easy to read and not too lengthy, but with enough information. There aren't alot of other educational options in book form related to the keto diet, so your choices are limited, but this book fills the need.
