4.0 out of 5 stars The Ketogenic Cookbook, July 4, 2000

This review is from: The Ketogenic Cookbook (Paperback)

As a dietitian who works with children on the Ketogenic Diet, I was delighted to finally see a cookbook with some imaginative options for meals. Each menu has at least one other option for the picky eater and includes menus for holidays and special occasions. The book also includes traveling tips/checklist, a list of hotel chain phone numbers (to check ahead on refrigerators), contact information for food companies and a seizure chart. I would recommend this book to anyone on the Ketogenic diet, but especially for older children or those on the diet over 6 months just looking for new options.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for weight loss, April 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ketogenic Cookbook (Paperback)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great idea getter, November 6, 2001

Ok ... so this cookbook may be a bit gourmet styled, it is still a life saver for those of us that have done "the diet" for years and need new ways to keep our children eating. After all not eating on the diet is as bad as cheating on the diet. You get great ideas for holiday meals. I personally did the butter recipes and they were a big hit. You need to work with your dietian to get the amounts right but when you have it down this is a great way to "spice" up their foods.
