Gina,
I tried the Atkins diet quite a few years ago-- not for szs but to lose weight.
Because you eat a lot of protein you don't get hungry but I didn't like it because it isn't a balanced diet in my opinion. At that time you were not to eat any fruit -- and I need fruit. I don't know if that is the way it still is.
I found that if I ate breakfast of only eggs and no toast -- I didn't get hungry as fast as if I added toast.

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
Keena mom to sarena

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
