If you search over on reddit for keto and epilepsy, there are quite a few threads on this, and a fair number of people following the diet for their epilepsy. Maybe make a post over there, or even private message a few individuals.

The reading I've done suggests that keto for epilepsy may not be the same as what we do for weight loss. Something like, 3-4 g fat for every G protein and carbs. But, most of the info is on keto for kids, not adults.

Good luck!

Some people do tablespoons of olive oil to up their calories. I think it sounds nasty. I do olives and cheese with almonds and pepperoni's. I don't worry about calories so much anymore, I just try and make sure my carb intake is under 20g a day. The rest will fall into place. I hope keto can help you. Seizures are scary.

Thank you guys so much, I spent well into bed last night reading all of that. Practically fell asleep on the couch :-P

I have an odd question, maybe something I'm doing wrong, maybe something normal...?

Well, I've found that with epilepsy the fat ratio is supposed to be the highest...so that is what I am aiming for, but i don't have this perfect yet.

BUT, I have noticed that I have been under 1200 calories by a major amount for the idea 400-700, and felt satisfied all day long, so just looking for stuff to eat within the meal plan and eating to not be put into starvation mode.

I was considering maybe some sorta protein bar, or something. Because honestly feel FULL.

Any tips? Or food changes? I believe my diary is open.

Your diary isn't open ATM but if you're keeping your carbs really low, your appetite will become naturally suppressed. It took me a while to get used to seeing really low calorie days but I finally just accepted that it's OK to not eat if I'm not hungry.

Sometimes I have a protein drink made with almond milk & heavy whipping cream to keep my protein & fat up if I'm hungry enough for that.

Getting more fat is fairly easy. Cook with coconut oil, olive oil, or butter. I use coconut oil in my coffee (other folks like "bulletproof coffee" with coconut oil & butter all whipped up). I put butter on my steamed veggies. Sour cream on omelettes that were cooked with a little butter. Creamed spinach instead of plain steamed spinach is good!

Oh and there's fat bombs! Those are awesome for getting more fat!

The initial hurdle for me to eating more fat was getting over all the years of "fat is bad for you" & "fat will make you fat". I'm way past that mental block now & really enjoying how delicious food is on a keto diet.

Also, back when it was all I could do to eat 1000 calories a day, I made sure to keep up my electrolytes (salt, potassium,magnesium) because I couldn't eat enough to get them from food. This really helped prevent headaches & leg cramps. I'm usually eating more than that now, but I still take potassium or the leg cramps come back.

Lots of people don't count calories because their appetite drastically changes. I track on MFP because I want to keep an eye on my calories & my macros. I'm just one of those that needs to "see" what my day is like & watch my carbs really closely.

I wish you all the best in getting control over the seizures!

The Ketogenic diet for epilipsy is discussed in "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" by Phinney and Volek in Chapter 19.

I strongly recommend reviewing this chapter (really, the whole book is awesome - but for you, this chapter is especially important). There's some info on the standard Ketogenic Diet for epilipsy and how that is conducted (90% fat, 8% protein), and even supplements that are recommended. They also discuss recent use of "Modified Atkins Diet" (MAD) which is much simpler and is having similar successful results. MAD is what is now being recommended for teenagers and adults.

You also may want to check out "The Fat Fast Cookbook". There are a ton of great recipes that are all 80% fat. I've made more recipes from this cookbook than any other that I've purchased - and I've never actually done a fat fast!
