I am not sure about the benefits, all I know is that ketone bodies replace glucose once they are into the brain
It is primarily used to treat children with epilepsy as it puts the body in to ketosis and forces ketone bodies in to the brain instead of glucose
My fiance is trying this new ketogenic diet, but I am not sure what kind of foods are allowed on it Well, I know that ina Ketogenic diet, there is high fat, low carbohydrates and adequate protein I don't know if I could do that! So I assume that means not much sugar? I am not sure about the amount of suger, but the carbohydrate amount allowed varies I see, are there different types of Ketogenic Diets? Yes there are different types that allow different amounts of carbohydrates I would choose the one that allowed the most sugar ha, What are the benefits of this type of diet?
The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source.
