Keto Kid: Helping Your Child Succeed on the Ketogenic Diet
For more than half of all children with epilepsy, the only reliable way to control seizures is through the ketogenic diet, a rigid regimen that strictly limits both calories and liquid intake. Keto Kid details the daily management of the diet — where one extra bite of food can have serious repercussions on a child’s health — while also addressing the emotional struggle children encounter with the loss of their favorite foods and the necessity of learning rigorous self-denial at a very young age. The book also provides recipes for keto-friendly meals and tips for making this limited diet more interesting; time-saving strategies such as pre-weighing and freezing meals; and a day-by-day account of life on the ketogenic diet; and more. Calm, direct, and above all, hopeful, Snyder helps families successfully adopt the diet while making the experience as pleasant as possible for both child and parent. .
