Ketogenic diet

Ketogenic diet
This article is about a dietary therapy for epilepsy. For information on ketogenic low-carbohydrate diets as a lifestyle choice or for weight loss, see Low-carbohydrate diet. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The original therapeutic diet for paediatric epilepsy provides just enough protein for body growth and repair, and sufficient calories[Note 1] to maintain the correct weight for age and height. Most dietary fat is made of molecules called long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). The classic therapeutic ketogenic diet was developed for treatment of paediatric epilepsy in the 1920s and was widely used into the next decade, but its popularity waned with the introduction of effective anticonvulsant drugs.

Is Meat Good or Bad for You? “Dr. Hyman, I see so many conflicting reports about meat,” begins this week’s house call question. “Some say it can be part of a healthy diet. Others declare it is the root cause of disease – including heart disease, cancer and diabetes. I have friends who completely avoid it and other friends of mine who embrace meat as an everyday staple. I understand your confusion, especially with the conflicting, sometimes misleading information out there. There are very real concerns involving meat, including the ethical treatment of animals and their impact on the environment, as well as medical and health issues. From a health and wellness standpoint, we question if eating meat truly causes heart disease, cancer and leads to a shorter life. It’s not hard to see why the average person, or even doctor or nutritionist is confused. Studies that take a pro- or anti-meat stance often miss the bigger picture. Admittedly, it would be almost impossible to perform an accurate study about meat.

Not really because I’d been sick for such a long time that I was willing to give anything a try. Dear God. No. Derek’s dinner. And you’ve eaten nothing else since? Yeah, for nearly six years. How do you avoid scurvy? The organ meat of the animal actually contains vitamin C. Derek’s hit of vitamin C. What happens if you go to a friend’s house for dinner?
