The Keto Cookbook: Keto Diet Information and 96 Recipes to Treat Seizures and Epilepsy

The KETO COOKBOOK is a MUST HAVE, an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE, for all families, caregivers, and associated professionals who need in-depth knowledge of the Ketogenic Diet and its application to help reduce seizures in children with epilepsy and some other neurological conditions.

The Keto Cookbook, co-authored by Dawn Martinez and Laura Cramp, RD, LD, CNSC, is written with the same precision and detail that the very nature of the diet dictates, reflecting the awareness, skills, and extensive experience of both women. .

Dawn is the mother of Charlotte, who has Dravet syndrome, and who has responded so successfully to the ketogenic diet after exhaustive and unsuccessful attempts with AED antiepileptic drugs.

Laura is a registered dietitian at The Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC, and not only works with patients and their families, but also advises medical professionals and hospital food staff on the complexities of using the ketogenic diet. to treat epilepsy and reduce seizures.

The myth that this diet is unappetizing, unpleasant, boring and unpleasant is over! Beautifully illustrated recipes for 96 different delicious meals and snacks are testament to this. All recipes:

– are Keto approved

– give calorie count

– give the exact ingredients for a diet with a 4: 1 ratio

– are described with symbols denoting other aspects of the recipe, eg “Quick”, “Vegetarian”, “Freezes well”.

The actual diet, while very important, is just one of many aspects that keto families need to fully address and understand.

Other chapters that cover all contingencies to make the rigorous demands of the Ketogenic Diet as manageable as possible include:

– supply of the pantry for emergencies presented both by unforeseen calamities of the daily schedule and major emergencies such as power outages, floods, snowfalls, etc.

– Maintain a supply of instant snacks and frozen meals that can be quickly …

– presentation of the kitchen eliminating the temptations of prying fingers

– equip the kitchen with the essentials for meal preparation, to reduce time without precision

– sample letters to present at airports, schools, hospitals, etc. to ease the situation

I highly recommend the “Keto Cookbook” because in the world of the ketogenic diet, it would be difficult to match the combined knowledge and experience of the authors, who have written accurately and professionally, but from a basis of pain and love.

It is difficult to estimate the happiness that is brought to the family of a child suffering from uncontrollable seizures when the ketogenic diet succeeds in reducing or eliminating seizures. From watching helplessly as your child slowly deteriorates and developmentally delayed, to seeing the success of the diet: the child re-emerges with his previously known personality, progresses in development, regains speech and other important milestones, it is a Unimaginable stress replaced by unimaginable joy for those involved.
