i wanted to do a quick video to

introduce you to what i think

is the best diet structure for autism

okay now i put a link down below of some

really interesting research on this

topic

and if my child had autism

this is where i would start now i’m not

going to create

all the details with meal plans i want

to give you the big idea the overview

uh the percentages of of the macros

in creating a meal plan for someone with

autism

but if you follow this structure based

on the research that i’m seeing you’ll

see

significant improvement in your child’s

communication skills

their ability to socialize with other

people their cognitive function

their demeanor their ability to have

self-control

so you might want to try this now the

typical ketogenic diet

is about five percent carbs 20 protein

and 75 fat i’m going to recommend a

tweaked ketogenic diet

where you’re increasing your fat to 80

to 90 percent

fat and so this is a very similar diet

to

the diet for kids that have epilepsy

okay it’s called a traditional ketogenic

diet

but i’m going to recommend the healthy

version

of that diet by adding more fat but

keeping the ingredients

healthy because we want to provide the

nutrients we don’t want to put these

other things in there

now i would recommend 25 of these fats

being

mct oil not butter not ghee

mct oil why because mct oil

will give your child ketones immediately

and that’s what we’re trying to do we’re

trying to flood the brain

with a massive amount of ketones with a

very

low amount of glucose because we have to

bypass certain mechanisms

that are preventing glucose from feeding

the cells

and so this will feed the cells directly

and you’ll start to see improvement of

the brain tissue

pretty quickly as far as the carbs go i

would recommend

bringing the carbs down around 10 to 20

grams okay so you’re going to have to

really pay attention to that

now i know that’s kind of vague but i

don’t want to get into in this video

counting calories and doing this or that

i just want to kind of give you the

overview

and i will do other videos on the more

the details

but when you’re doing the mct oil you

can bypass the

a lot of mechanisms in the liver and the

gallbladder so the body can then take

these ketones

directly right in really quick

all right so we want to do a healthy

version of the ketogenic diet we

definitely want to do

veggies non-starchy a lot of fiber

we want to do a lot of leafy greens or

even green powder

if your child will not eat vegetables

because we want to add phytonutrients

and some of the other nutrients

in these greens i would highly recommend

that you don’t do any dairy

or casein which is the protein in milk

because

it’s been found that that could

aggravate the brain also

you don’t want to do any gluten okay

don’t use any grains

you don’t want to do even ghee why

because ghee doesn’t have

nearly the amount of medium chain

triglycerides

that mct oil has okay from usually from

coconuts

and so we want to provide the body the

best absorption

and the maximum amount of ketones

so roughly you’re going to be feeding

your child

fatty meats fatty sausage

coconut oil would be a good thing talo

which is beef fat

eggs fatty fish fatty nuts like pecans

and macadamia nuts

and then on top of that you want to add

electrolytes okay

a really good electrolyte powder without

any sugar b vitamins

preferably from nutritional yeast or

another natural source

and trace minerals okay that way

they can have all the nutrition and be

fed the

exact right fuel to help repair

brain tissue so stay tuned for more

videos on this topic

and go ahead and comment down below hey

before you go

content i would

love to hear about your success story
