Please share your experience
Atkins diet for seizures is not the same as Atkins diet to lose weight though it could be similar. From what I have read in useful forums and books, Atkins diet is simply 65% fat, 30% protein, and 5% carbs. Atkins diet for seizures is also termed MAD modified Atkins diet.

With those that have being successful with MAD, they start MAD and when patient is starting to be seizure free the child is being weaned off medication gradually until the patient is seizure free. Visit here for a success story.

So what is the difference in Ketogenic and Atkins diet. I cannot really say much on this but two things I do know is to start Ketogenic diet you have to be admitted in the hospital to get it started and to learn how to do it and the second difference is for Ketogenic you have to do a lot of measuring, in summary it is more convenient to do Atkins as far as I know.
