It decreases blood sugar and insulin levels, shifting the body's metabolism toward burning fats for energy which results in the production of ketones.The ketogenic diet for epilepsy is a very high-fat diet with just enough protein for body maintenance and growth, and very low amounts of carbohydrate. When fats are broken down for energy, the body goes into what's called a ketogenic state, in which the body generates molecules called ketones. The goal of the KDE is for the brain to use ketones for energy rather than glucose (sugar) as much as possible.This book also covers exciting new research that shows the diet may work for people with other neurological illnesses.
