Hi Kandra,
The ketogenic diet started in 1927 before there were a lot of AED's for sz. kids and adults were on the diet. Today they have a lot of kids on the diet but more adults are going on the diet also and they are taking less AED's. Since I lost the 75 lbs. I've kept the weight off with no problems. I was more worried about my cholesterol and clogging the arteries with this diet but I was surprised to see my cholesterol level is much better and there's no clogging of the arteries. Take my word if you like cheesecake you will love this diet. My insurance refused to cover seeing a dietician also so after I bought the book "The Epilepsy Diet Treatment" I understood how to do the diet and I'm on a 4:1 ratio 4 grams of fat for every gram of protein and it works great. If you get the book and read it you'll find all the detail about the diet. Take care and May God Bless You!
