This diet was created by Dr. Geyelin in 1920 and it is low in carbs and high in fat! This doctor concluded a strong relation between decreased number of seizures with his patients and not eating high carb foods!
There were also relations and improvements with body fat, hunger, blood sugar and cholesterol!
What is Ketosis? The ketogenic diet works trough glucose elimination, like any low-carb diet. The body normally uses glucose to create energy as you probably live in on a high-carb-diet. The body actually starts melting stored fat when glucose is not available from food sources. This situation is called putting your organism in ketosis! This diet stimulates the body to melt its own fat. This diet has positive effects on epilepsy, heart diseases, Alzheimer’s, obesity, diabetes and even cancer patients. Ketogenic diet decreases the intake of carbs and substitutes them for proteins and healthy fats.
