Re: initiating diet- Pam & others

August 20, 2004

Hi, Pam. We wish you well and maybe the more strict calculated

ketogenic diet will do the trick for you. I have uploaded my

own " tips for getting started " in the files section if you'd like to

have a look. I just covered everything that I could think of that

helped me when we first started the diet up until now (have been on

the diet for over 5 months now and seizure free since day 4 of diet).

our neuro), we are going to initiate the full ketogenic diet this

next Tuesday, Aug 24. I am not sure if it will make much difference

for us, but here's hoping. usually always has 80-160 count for

ketones with Atkins. Somedays he is sz free and others he has 20 or

so. I am thinking that because Atkins is not measurement precise we

can use the precision of the ketogenic diet to close the gaps and

become sz free all the time.

preparation plus trained in how to use a computer program (don't know

which program though). The dietician sounds very knowledgeable so I

hope it will be s Hopkins quality. We will have to travel

several hours to the dietician, but most of our contact will be by

phone or email.

am nervous about actually doing it.
