I lost 75 lbs. on this diet in just 4 months. The diet builds up ketones in a persons body which reduces and in many cases stops seizures. The ketones also curb a persons appitite. If you are interested in this diet you can get the book by Dr. John Freeman whose at Hopkins University the title of the book is: "The Epilepsy Diet Treatment." This diet has been out since 1927 my cousin was on it during World War II and he had tonic clonic sz. While he was on the diet he flew airplanes and he never had a single sz. until he went off the diet and tried medication. If you're interested in this diet you can see a dietician and they can get you started on the diet. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
Hi Sue,

I take the Vit. B12 1000mcg also...sublingual. I'lll have to investigate the ketogenic diet...I thought it was mostly for children. High ketones are also caused by high protein diets. I'm on just a "reasonable" diet and I've lost 108 pounds in 8 1/2 months. Have you been able to keep the 75# off once you went back on a more normal diet?

My insurance doesn't allow one to actually see a dietician...the most I can hope for is a phone consultation..sigh.

Thanks again so much!!
