Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Yes--this can be frustrating Over the last, 34 mos-I have relied mostly on the Keto planner Let me explain--if the food was not listed on the planner ( M. hotdogs-for example)--I would try to get more exact numbers from the company, stating that my daughter was on the Keto Diet and loved your products, but needed more exact numbers for her to eat the foods Sometimes you could get better figures Otherwise I compared the labels and if they were similar with the planner and label, I always went with the higher numbers, higher carbs especially, most usually the Keto planner gave the higher numbers Remember, the FDA says anything under 1 gm (.99) can be listed as 0 grams--a very big variant for our kids I know this meant less food for my daughter, but the first two years, were as strict as I could make it-- Even the meal planners are not the exact The food values differ with the different programs Too!! Therefore I really do not think it is wrong to go by the labels, especially if the food is not listed on the planner The most important thing is to read the labels, & stick to the same way of calculating the meals Over the years, we have all found out that the different Keto Centers and Dietitians even vary the diet So have faith in yourself--you are doing the best for your child--you are giving her a chance to be seizure free or less seizures Best to you Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
