The high-fat, low-carbohydrate modified ketogenic diet, based on a ratio of fat to non-fat (protein and carbohydrates) of 2:1 and 1:1, has been used to improve seizure control in people with epilepsy. New research suggests that the diet may promote weight loss and provide benefit to those with cancer, brain injury, forms of dementia, autism, migraines and other neurological problems.
With a focus on fresh, clean eating and simple, everyday meals and snacks requiring minimal effort and time, The Modified Keto Cookbook will help even the busiest families or individuals incorporate the diet into their lifestyle and experience the rewards. Start your day with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Breakfast Shake or Baked Eggs with Cream and Herbs. For lunch, enjoy Butternut Squash Soup and Spinach and Ricotta Filled Portabella Mushrooms. Whip up Chicken Peanut Curry, Beef and Mushroom Stew, or Baked Cod with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce for a satisfying dinner. For dessert, try Refrigerator Coconut Macaroons, Chocolate Chia Pudding, or ice cream drizzled in Caramel Sauce.
Includes: Allergy-free recipes (nut, dairy, and egg free), No-cook and make-ahead meals, and suggestions to increase fat in recipes to conform to the classic ketogenic diet ratios of 4:1 and 3:1 Recipes with standard U.S. measurements and grams
