I've always been curious about going on a ketogenic diet, but with all the new trends I don't know if it is worth it.
There is actually some evidence that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet. Also, I know several people who have lost weight with it.
What types of foods are you allowed to eat while on a keto diet? | Ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies | The ketogenic diet reduces seizure frequency by more than 50% in half of the patients who try it and by more than 90% in a third of patients. Three-quarters of children who respond do so within two weeks, though experts recommend a trial of at least three months before assuming it has been ineffective. Children with refractory epilepsy are more likely to benefit from the ketogenic diet than from trying another anticonvulsant drug. Some evidence indicates that adolescents and adults may also benefit from the diet.

Having started a custom cake business after attending Tante Marie's Pastry Program in San Francisco, she set her sights on cupcakes. "I was taking orders for special occasion cakes which I came to realize are, by definition, reserved for special, infrequent occasions," she said. "I wanted to create an artful and handcrafted dessert, yet one which people could eat on a daily basis...which led me to reinvent and elevate the lowly cupcake."

I live in a rural area and love it. It's located outside of the city, making it so peaceful
That sounds peaceful, but don't think I could live to far from shopping and entertainment.
The U.S. defines rural as encompassing. All housing and population not in an urban area is rural. Technically I am rural but only 7 minutes away from urban
That is not too bad then. I do enjoy falling asleep to the sounds of the city though. I can't sleep if it's creepy quiet.
I grew up in the city of Baltimore. It took me a long time to get used to the low population and small settlements here
Yeah I bet that was an adjustment. I am used to falling asleep to honking horns, people yelling, and sirens. | Rural area
In general, a rural area or countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines the word "rural" as encompassing "...all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural."
Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas are commonly rural, as are other types of areas such as forest. | factories and shopping centres have often chosen locations just outside a community's city limits to take advantage of more favourable municipal tax rates or less stringent or non-existent urban planning restrictions in an adjacent municipality or semi-rural area.

Reading is a complex "cognitive process" of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive meanin
Yep, it definitely is that. Do you like to read?
Reading is a means of language acquisition, communication, and of sharing information
Yes it is that also. Do you have a favorite book you like to read?
Twilight ,a series of four vampire-themed fantasy romance novels by American author Stephenie Meyer.
Oh okay, I'm not a fan of the Twilight series. I found it to be too unrealistic.
So what do you find realistic then?
I just prefer the older vampire novels over the newer ones where the vampires sparkle and such. | culturally and socially situated. The reading process requires continuous practice, development, and refinement. Reading requires creativity and critical analysis. Consumers of literature deviate from literal words to create images that make sense to them in the unfamiliar places the texts describe. Because reading is a complex process, it cannot be controlled or restricted to one or two interpretations. There are no concrete laws in reading, but rather it provides readers an escape to produce their own products introspectively. This promotes deep exploration of texts during interpretation.
Readers | Reading
Reading is the complex cognitive process of decoding symbols to derive meaning. It is a form of language processing.
Success in this process is measured as "reading comprehension". Reading is a means for language acquisition, communication, and sharing information and ideas. The symbols are typically visual (written or printed) but may be tactile (Braille). Like all languages, it is a complex interaction between text and reader, shaped by prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and the language community—which is | 77,599 | wow-train |
