Ketogenic diet in Trabzon

What is ketogenic Diet Counselling?

The ketogenic diet is a way of eating in which daily carbohydrate intake is cut to a very low level, protein is kept moderate and fat high. When carbohydrate falls, the liver produces ketone bodies from fat, and many tissues including the brain begin to use them for energy; this state is called ketosis. The strongest scientific basis for the diet is that it reduces seizure frequency in childhood epilepsy that does not respond to medicines; this use is run by a team of paediatric neurology and a dietitian, with blood test monitoring. It is also the core treatment in some rare metabolic diseases such as GLUT1 deficiency. In weight loss, a clear drop is seen in the first weeks; a large part of this is water loss. In the long term it has not shown a clear advantage over other diets with a similar calorie deficit, and it is hard to stay on for a long time. In some people, “bad” cholesterol (LDL) rises markedly. For many people, especially those taking diabetes medicines, it is not suitable without a doctor’s and dietitian’s supervision.

How is ketogenic Diet Counselling done?

1. Discussion of health history, medicines and the goal (medical treatment or weight management)
2. Reviewing baseline blood sugar, cholesterol, kidney and liver tests with the doctor
3. If suitable, choosing the classic ketogenic, modified Atkins or a milder low-carbohydrate model
4. Preparing sample menus that prevent shortfalls in fibre, fluid, salt and micronutrients
5. Regular check-ups, repeat tests and a gradual plan for coming off the diet
