Short Video Series Introduction: The Basics of a Medical Ketogenic Diet Explained

We’ve partnered with 5 ketogenic dietitians to bring you a series of 10 short videos including information about the basics of a medical ketogenic diet. Each video covers a different ketogenic diet topic and provides a variety of support such as, education, how-to, tips and more.

These videos were created to help give you a simple understanding of how the diet works and provide answers to common questions like "what is the medical ketogenic diet?", and “what is a ketogenic diet ratio?”.

Transitioning to any new dietary lifestyle and discovering which approach works best for you can sometimes start off a little bumpy. Understanding each approach and working with a dietitian is always recommended. Information on 2 commonly used ketogenic diet variations, the classic ketogenic diet and the modified Atkins®* diet (MAD) is included in this short ketogenic diet video series. Helpful tips for starting a classic or a MAD diet are provided by dietitians who have experience helping many patients start a ketogenic diet.

Staying on a medical ketogenic diet when you have drug-resistant epilepsy can help reduce your seizures or even help you to become seizure free! Ketogenic diet experts share tips on how to maintain a medical ketogenic diet, such as how to make sense of food labels, and provide guidance on how you may be able to increase your seizure control success. For those who require tube-feeding, we’ve also included a short video with an overview of essential items needed to maintain a keto diet.

In addition to ketogenic diet information, we created 3 short videos about KetoCal®, a nutritionally complete ketogenic formula for individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy. Find out how KetoCal can help simplify a medical ketogenic diet. A ketogenic dietitian will also explain how to easily mix KetoCal and walk you through the steps on how to re-adjust your diet ratio by adding other foods to KetoCal.
