Hi Gina my daughter has been on both diets we were on the atkins for 6 months she was feeling better but still having many seizures one thing with atkins you get more food I wish we would have started with keto cause it was better for my child we have been on it since october of 09 she still has seizures but nothing like it was cognitivly she is much better I would recomend joing the modified atkins and keto yahoo groups there is some pretty amazing people on there and the diet does take time to work for some but some see seizure freedome right away with keto you are restricted to a specific amount of calories my daughter is on a 4:1 ratio which means she eats 4 grams of fat to 1 gram of carb it can be overwelming mut becomes second nature and the support groups are like I said amazing

Subject: [epilepsy] Ketogenic Diet vs Modified Adkins Diets
My sons neurologist wants to put him on either the Ketogenic Diet or the
Modified Adkins Diet. I would love to hear the pros and cons of each one for
those of you who have tried it or are currently using one of them.
Thanks!!!!!!
Gina
