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)
Classical ketogenic diet
MCT ketogenic diet
Modified Atkins ketogenic diet
Modified ketogenic diet
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.
