Ketogenic Diet

Ketogenic Diet

A medical ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate, high fat diet which changes the metabolism in the body from burning glucose for energy to burning fat for energy.   It is currently a recognised treatment for intractable (drug resistant) epilepsy, Glut 1 Deficiency and Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency. Increasingly the diet is being looked at in other neuro-metabolic conditions as well as Brain Cancer.

There are 5 versions of the Ketogenic Diet (KD)

  1. Classical ketogenic diet
  2. MCT ketogenic diet
  3. Modified Atkins ketogenic diet
  4. Modified ketogenic diet
  5. Low Glycaemic ketogenic diet

Navamedic offers a number of products that Vitaflo and others have developed that can be used as part of the ketogenic diet, which help aid compliance and make the diet more manageable.
