Ketogenic Diet
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that is
used primarily to treat epilepsy in children.
The ketogenic diet reduces seizure frequency by more than 50% in half of the patients
who try it and by more than 90% in a third of patients. Three-quarters of children
who respond do so within two weeks, though experts recommend a trial of at least
three months before assuming it has been ineffective. Children with refractory epilepsy
are more likely to find the ketogenic diet to be effective than to benefit from
trying another anticonvulsant drug. There is some evidence that adolescents and
adults may also benefit from the ketogenic diet.
The ketogenic diet has been in clinical use for over 80 years, primarily for the
symptomatic treatment of epilepsy. A recent clinical study has raised the possibility
that exposure to the ketogenic diet may confer long-lasting therapeutic benefits
for patients with epilepsy. Moreover, there is evidence from uncontrolled clinical
trials and studies in animal models that the ketogenic diet can provide symptomatic
and disease-modifying activity in a broad range of neurodegenerative disorders including
Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, and may also be protective in traumatic
brain injury and stroke.
The ketogenic diet could have beneficial effects in a broad range of brain disorders
characterized by the death of neurons. Although the mechanisms are not yet well
defined, it is plausible that neuroprotection results from enhanced neuronal energy
reserves, which improve the ability of neurons to resist metabolic challenges, and
possibly through other actions including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
How to use this food database to select foods for the ketogenic diet
This food database provides the fat, carbohydrate and protein contents of approximately
7,000 food items. A food's mineral and vitamin contents are displayed in charts
to allow easy evaluation of its nutrition. Foods can be searched by name and sorted
by macronutrient contents to help you find the most appropriate foods for the ketogenic
diet.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders after stroke and affects
at least 50 million people worldwide. It is diagnosed in a person having recurrent
unprovoked seizures. Epilepsy is considered refractory to treatment when two or
three anticonvulsant drugs have failed to control it. About 60% of patients will
achieve control of their epilepsy with the first drug they use, whereas about 30%
do not achieve control with drugs. When drugs fail, other options include epilepsy
surgery, vagus nerve stimulation and the ketogenic diet.

Usage Note
- Fat, carbohydrate and protein values in table are in grams and calculated per 100g
of food.
- Click on column header to sort foods by name or by fat, carbohydrate or protein
content.
- Pie chart shows relative contributions to total calories from carbohydrate, protein
and fat (and alcohol, if exists).
- The mineral and vitamin charts show the relative contents of minerals and vitamins
of each food. The higher the bubble, the higher mineral or vitamin content a food
has relative to other foods. The larger the bubble, the greater the mineral or vitamin
content relative to the Recommended Daily Allowances.
