KETOSIS AND SEIZURE CONTROL

  • Dr. D'Agostino started doing research for ketogenic diet in 2010.
  • He did substantial research into deep diving seizures and a ketogenic diet.

KETO AND WEIGHT LOSS

  • There was a study that came out that said ketogenic diet was not conducive to weight loss.
    • This contradicts much of what we know!
  • From the medical community that implements this diet for medical purposes, even they agree that this diet is helpful for weight loss.
  • Weight loss is a "side effect" of ketosis.
  • Ketosis dampens your appetite.
  • When you are eating ketogenic diet, you will feel more sated from less.
  • You also stop eating less processed crap which is the stuff that makes you hungrier.
  • Exogenous ketones: these are the ketones that you can consume in powder.
    • This can help get into ketosis without actually consuming that much of fat.
      • It's better just to be in real ketosis, consuming lots of fat..
    • Exogenous ketones can help some, but others it has no effect.
      • Dr. D'Agostino did this experiment with rodents.
        • They were eating carb diets, and a good amount did not lose weight even with exogenous ketones.
          • Some were able to lose 15% body fat, but this was only in a few.
            • They are looking into why that is the case.
