Some of things I have observed while following a high fat/low carb diet: The higher the ketosis (within reason, I am non diabetic so dka is not a problem)=the better I feel, less hunger, better sense of well being, more energy, less cravings, to name a few. I have heard people say that if they are in ketosis, the level does not matter, that is definitely NOT the case for me. The ketogenic diet for me is hard at first, it takes me about 3 weeks just to feel normal. I also limit water & protein.
My son has been on this diet for a year and a half. Went from almost a seizure a minute to virtually nothing unless he is sick. Medication never worked for him. This works great for us. He is also G-Tube fed so making a formula is easier then trying to get kids to stick to a diet I think.
I hope this diet would work for 17 years old too. But I have read about it that it works for children because children are easy to control compliance is not a problem. . . ahhh welll more than that I think.
