hi guys I had another question is keto

okay for kids to do okay now if you

think about it the most popular diet for

epilepsy for children is the ketogenic

diet because it really is effective and

the problem though I see with that diet

is they did a lot of liquid fat that you

would drink all this oil I don’t

recommend that the type of ketogenic

diet that I recommend is very

nutrient-dense it’s with lots of

vegetables okay so the essence of keto

really is low carb okay low carb now an

average child that’s between one and

three years old has 12 teaspoons of

sugar alright that’s a problem an

average four to six year old has 21

teaspoons of sugar so keto is very very

healthy because our bodies were not

designed to run on that much sugar it’s

going to set them up for blood sugar

problems I mean that was me growing up I

ate tons of sugar I probably I would

just raid the cupboards with sugar I

mean I would constantly be eating sugar

so keto is extremely healthy if you do

it correctly but you need a lot of

vegetables now kids like sweets

especially if you start them out like

that so you’re gonna have to make little

alternative healthy snacks pleasure

foods like they’re called keto bombs

I’ll put some links down below recipes

with alternative types of sugars that

kids will love and if you combine that

with a minute fasting and have the these

healthy desserts at the end of the meal

not with a snack and just have three

meals a day I think it’s going to be

really healthy for your child the

problem is starting kids out on an

unhealthy sugar diet it’s hard to change

especially if they’re teenagers but you

have to do different things like bribing

them and giving them things like I’m

just kidding by the way giving them

things like alternative sweeteners like

keto bombs that are like little cookies

that have no sugar but they’re sweet

they won’t know the difference

so I would start to use that so it is

something that’s healthy and natural and

I highly recommend it thanks for
