Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hey group, My 12 year old daughter has been on the keto diet for many years now. Have been lowering her ratio over the last 18 months. We are on a 2:1 now. Got the go ahead to lower to 1:5 and then to Atkins. Any advice or guidance on how to wean to Atkins. What has been people's experience weaning to aktins and seizure control??? T Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I have been gradually going down over the past 1 1/2 to 2 years. We are now at 0.22/1 ratio, so even lower than most North American diets. We go down by .5 or less every one to two months. We try to keep protein and carbohydrates about equal, within about 30%. We restrict calories, so we are more like keto than Atkins. The next step will be to gradually increase calories. So far, seizure control is the same as always. Sometimes we see an increase in seizures for the first week or so after a change in diet. I don't see any advantage to going to Atkins diet. It is not as healthy and has medical problems reported.
