To them, they left carbohydrates out of their diets to treat epilepsy in children and ate foods with high fats, proteins, and many green vegetables. And guess what? It worked!

Ketogenic Diet is to remove high carbs from foods and eating high fats and proteins instead.

Having been embraced by many medical practitioners and healthy living enthusiasts, it is of no surprise that the Ketogenic Diet is one of the first recommendations for curing varying ailments – this is how far good craze has gone.
