Reseña del editor:

The ketogenic diet, which is very high in fats and low in carbohydrates, was first developed almost 80 years ago. It makes the body burn fat for energy instead of glucose. When carefully monitored by a medical team familiar with its use, the diet helps two out of three children who are tried on it and may prevent seizures completely in one out of three. It is a strict diet, and takes a strong commitment from the whole family. The ketogenic diet is not a do-it-yourself diet. It is a serious form of treatment that, like other therapies for Epilepsy, has some side effects that have to be watched for.The Keto Cookbook is a cookbook for those using the diet to treat Epilepsy and other neurologic conditions. The book contains 96 recipes grouped by breakfast and brunch, appetisers and snacks, lunch, dinner, and sweets and treats. The book includes a 16-page colour insert illustrating each recipe. Since many children start the keto diet before they speak, the pictures of the meal and snack options allow children to choose what they want, helping overcome food refusal due to lack of variety of foods and/or child's loss of control over food options. This book provides parents and children with options that have been tested and are kid and Registered Dietitian approved.Features of The Keto Cookbook include:96 kid and Dietitian tested and approved recipes for the keto diet presented in full colourRecipes are coded by symbol to indicate personality type and cooking timesAllergy information for the eight most common allergensPractical suggestions to help people ""keto-proof"" their life, from the kitchen, to the car, to the classroomFour sample shopping lists and holiday guidelines will help families prepare for the unexpectedSample forms for the Transportation Safety Agency, School/Daycare Centre, and Emergency Room/Primary Physician
