Keto Diet: Proceed With Caution!

((((((Hugs to All)))))) ~

Based upon the parents of special needs children, who I've known through the years and tried the Ketogenic Diet for their kids, the Keto Diet isn't something to take lightly or to try on your own, without a doctor's supervision. You should also have a nutritionist to assist you in developing your meals. It's a very strict diet (at least for controlling seizures), and every parent says that it is a difficult diet to follow. Very few parents reported success with the diet controlling their children's seizures.

It was usually prescribed for short term solutions, because it does cause a systemic imbalance. Be prepared for intestinal issues. I might have considered it for my boys, if the diet had a better efficacy record.

Just be careful if you're considering trying the Keto Diet.

Love & Light,

Rose

Rolypoly mice and the Paleo diet

Medical News Today (February 19) has an interesting article about the Paleo diet, pointing out that it might even be harmful:

From your link, the Mediterranean diet is recommended:

We attempt to follow the Mediterranean diet, but we aren't strict about it. We're vegetarians, and we eat Field Roast (grain "meat") and some soy meat alternatives. We use ghee (clarified butter) and extra virgin olive oil for cooking. We steam many of our veggies. Our biggest downfall is potatoes. We eat too many!

Of all of the diets available (eg. South Beach, Atkins, Paleo, Keto), it seems to me that the Mediterranean is the healthiest.

Bon Appetit!

Love & Light,

To each His (or her ) own. I find that things that other people swear by for health or weight loss are not well tolerated. Over the years, there are things that I have found have harmful (or unpleasant) effects on my health and others that seem to keep it level or improved. For me...most dairy and glutens seem to cause my contacts to need cleaning several times a day. Processed sugars increase joint pain. So...I avoid and it has become easy to eat things that my body considers healthy.

Eat less and exercise more. Simple but true diet plan.

[agate]

Many people tend to eat more and exercise less as time goes by. It's an uphill battle but probably well worth the struggle.

Agate, why are you talking about me?

[Frog42]

Now I'm hungry!

Did somebody say chocolate?

[Parsi]

Everything comes down to chocolate.

[agate]

Everything comes down to chocolate.

And if it doesn't, it should.

[SalpalSally]

Chocolate is the start of any fine diet.!

I gave all the chocolate to Cat. >^..^<
