ketogenic diet Books

Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I'm interested in unusual therapies, and know someone who has a child with multiple disabilities including a seizure disorder. I found a videotape about this diet at a rummage sale a few years ago, and while it makes the diet sound relatively simple, this book says otherwise and goes into detail about people who are good candidates for the diet and those who are not. Many testimonials and case studies are presented as well.
The woman I know was given this option and said, "We don't want to starve our child." After reading this book, I can see where she was coming from. The restricted calories don't concern me as much as the fluid restriction, which could potentially be very dangerous and the book addresses this problem as well.
For the proper person, this diet could potentially be a lifesaver and it's worth trying if all factors are appropriate.

by Lyle McDonald
Amazon Price: $49.95
Customer Review: This book is a remarkably thorough resource on low-carb dieting and its variants as applicable to those working towards a high level of fitness. By that I mean bodybuilders and other athletes. The rest of us are addressed and educated to a great degree with this book, as well.
The ketogenic diet as explained here is for those who can execute a plan with a high level of independence. There are no food lists, menus, recipes, or pep talk. Just the facts and the methods. There are workout routines, but there are no illustrations or explanations of the exercises. It is assumed that the reader already knows what, say, a deadlift is. If you can assemble the nuts and bolts for yourself, you'll have no need to examine any other low-carb approach (Atkins, South Beach, Protein Power) at length. You'll want the food lists and maybe recipes from such books, however. If you want the all-in-one deal with all that information, I believe the author recommends Protein Power by Drs. Eades.
It bears repeating: it is a very thorough and robust read with an academic tone. If you're interested in the nitty-gritty ins and outs spelling out the rationale of doing such a diet, it's here.
The approaches are in three flavors:
Standard ketogenic- eating low-carb all the time while doing nothing more than, say, walking for exercise
Targeted ketogenic- low-carb eating except before and after weight training only
Cyclical ketogenic- a few days of eating low-carb followed by a couple of days with higher carbs-rinse and repeat
For what it's worth-this book needs some editing, both in text and layout. Enough to notice, not enough to miss the message.
Strongly recommended for the purest of intentions, for those that can.
Diet and Epilepsy

Amazon Price: $39.00

Customer Review: The authors give a comprehensive explanation of how a ketogenic diet might be a treatment of epilepsy. The molecular basis of this model is covered. While not conclusive, when combined with the positive clinical data reported in the text, the implication is highly favourable. Even against intractable epilepsy, KD offers some remediation.
Many chapters have extensive references to the research literature on KD. Also, KD is investigated for possible efficacy against other disorders. Here, things are far more speculative. But maybe KD could be applied to obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Customer Review: This book was not written as a weight loss cookbook. It is meant for people who have made the commitment to use diet as "an adjunct to anticonvulsant medication for the control of seizures", particularly for children. (as mentioned in the introduction) The challenges posed by the recipes are outweighed by the positive results I have found in the reduction of seizures in my step-children. We have been able to reduce their medication as a result. Working with a dietitian (portioning) and family doctor is critical to the diets' overall success for seizure reduction, but it's well worth all the effort!
