Aren't the Atkins and ketogenic diets high-fat diets, not low-fat?

Atkins diet may reduce seizures in children with epilepsy
Yeah, but ketogenic diets for kids with epilepsy has generally been
considered on the "fringe" (kinda like low carb diets for weight lossG). Now that low carb is getting mainstream recognition, it's probably a good time for JHH to get this information back out to the public as well as the medical community in hopes that people will look at it with less skepticism. At least if they have a new study out there, it will turn up in new literature searches. Lee - an RN who actually learned about ketogenic diets in school! PS - if anyone hasn't seen it and can find a copy, watch the movie "First Do No Harm". http://epilepsyontario.org/client/EO/EOWeb.nsf/web/First+Do+No+Harm+(Movie) Roger Zoul wrote: Damn...talk about reinventing the wheel!

Right....now only were they giving bad advice on weight control, they were also making it harder to sick kids to get proper treatment, all because it was too hard to believe that removing carbs could have benefit. So, in addition to not doing further research on LC eating, they failed to do further research on ketogentic diets (which is what Atkins is, BTW) for epileptic kids. :: Now that low carb is getting mainstream recognition, it's :: probably a good time for JHH to get this information back out to the :: public as well as the medical community in hopes that people will :: look :: at it with less skepticism.

Do you think this could work for dogs? I have a dog with epilepsy.

Atkins diet may reduce seizures in children with epilepsy
I was talking to a ketogenic diet researcher recently and asked if there is
a dog model of the diet. I know it's been tried but this person said that dogs don't go into ketosis in the same way that humans do and that their brain would preferentially use lactate over ketones anyway. He didn't believe it would work in dogs. There are several labs looking at the ketogenic diet in animals in order to determine its mechanism. Rats are often used but I know there is a controversy as to whether there is really an effect in rats or if it's an artefact of the data processing. "roxan" wrote in message ...
