[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77497093, member: 330042"] My S.O. tried a ketogenic diet for epilepsy (it didn't work). It was an actual medical keto diet, with tracking of macronutrients and keeping carbohydrates very low. It resulted in loss in muscle mass. Her cholesterol also became quite high. Protein consumption was lower, in keeping with a medical ketogenic diet. If you eat alot of protein on a ketogenic diet, you aren't doing a real keto diet, you are just doing a low carb diet. Excess protein gets converted into glucose and it will lower ketone production. Since we transitioned to a vegan diet with alot of whole, minimally processed foods, her epilepsy has actually gotten much better, and her cholesterol is alot lower. She eats more nuts than I do, mostly because she has the opposite problem to me- keeping on weight. Also, nuts have healthier fats that may help lower cholesterol, and she is a carrier of one APOE4 polymorphism, which predisposes her to high cholesterol. [/QUOTE]
