Ketogenic Diet - high fat,protein,low carbohydrate diet
What is Ketogenic Diet? It is a high-fat, adequate protein, low carbohydrate diet used to treat refractory epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates
The diet provides enough protein for body growth and repair, along with sufficient calories to maintain the correct weight for age and height. The classic ketogenic diet contains a 4:1 ratio by weight of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate, which is achieved by excluding high carbohydrate foods, while increasing the consumption of foods high in fat such as cream and butter.
