Is Leto Helpful?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Palmer, AK

I hear a lot about keto diet and how it might be helpful in treading epilepsy. I see Leto as very extreme diet with possible serious side effects. Is it really worth of trying for someone who Experience seizures roughly once a month?

Worth trying maybe, effective too but Very hard to stay in actual ketosis in my experience. Beyond 3 months I think it’s practically unrealistic long term, one wrong bite or drink. It’s that level of difference that will throw off ketosis. I think low carb low sugar in general is a good idea though.

I have been listening to Dr Ken Berry, Dr Andrew Chaffee, Dr Chris Palmer & many others saying how good the keto/carnivore diets are for all sorts of health issues. They are only finding out now that fat is good for us, not bad. Dr Gundry has a site too that pushes one type of keto diet too
