Define the Dietary Recommendations for epilepsy?

A 3: 1 ketogenic diet is recommended. The time taken for reversing the usual ratio of 1:3 to 3: 1 is about 4 days. How will we know if our ketogenic diet is working? Very easy, just test the urine for ketone bodies. There are a few foods to be avoided in a ketogenic diet. These are listed in Table along with those foods which may be given as desired.

For preparing meals you could choose one of the following food/food items:

- Meat/cheese, chicken (30 g), egg (I), fish (50 g), cottage cheese (50 g), processed cheese (30 g), pulse (30 g)

- Cereal: bread (25 g), wheat (20 g), crackers (20 g), rice (50 g cooked). Noodles (50 g cooked)

- Vegetables (100 g): beans, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplant mushrooms, mustard greens, radish, spinach, tomatoes, turnip.
