“…Seizures control procedure has been documented by scientist many centuries ago which is fasting especially deliberate fasting. 13 Later studies revealed the importance of ketogenic diet which shows the similar results as fasting for longer duration. Basic purpose of ketogenic diet is to increase the production of ketone bodies by providing high fatty food as the chief energy nutrient, whereas limiting carbohydrates and proteins.…”

Pediatric epileptic seizures occupy a significant place in the current nosology of neurological syndromes. Most effected population with seizures is children and elderly and less affected are adults. Role of diet is plays an important part in reducing the severity of symptoms, most significant diet is ketogenic, which has been used from 1921 as a best treatment option. Composition of ketogenic diet (KD) includes highest ratio of fat, moderate ratio of protein and lowest ratio of carbohydrates. Combination of energy giving nutrients in this ratio induces the ketosis which leads to reduction in the initiation of seizures. Ketogenic diet participates in various mechanisms i.e. regulation of neurotransmitters, limiting glycolysis pathway, tri-carboxylic-acid cycle and oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid; induces the anti-seizures responses. Numerous nutrients also showing the positive potential against epileptic seizures. But continues and very strict adherence to ketogenic diet causes some adverse effects on human body disrupting the normal mechanism of body. The focus of this review is on the pediatric epilepsy and modification in symptoms with the application of the ketogenic diet

The epidemic of obesity is growing steadily across the whole world. Obesity is not only a merely aesthetic disease but is the “mother” of most chronic diseases such as associated with a range of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and cancer. However, although there is a need to find a strategy to stop this epidemic disease, most of the times the current nutritional strategies are not effective in weight loss and in long term weight maintenance. Very low-calorie ketogenic diets (VLCKD) is increasingly establishing as a successful nutritional pattern to manage obesity; this is due to rapid weight loss that gives rise to a positive psychological cycle which in turn increases the compliance to diet. Another important key point of VLCKD is the ability to preserve fatty free mass which is known to play a role of paramount importance in glucose metabolism. Despite the clinical evidence of VLCKD there are paucity of data regarding to its management. Therefore, we will provide a useful guide to be used by nutrition experts taking care of subjects with obesity. In particular, we will report recommendations on the correct use of this therapeutic approach for weight loss and management of side effects.

“…46 A strategy to prevent elevated triglycerides is to administer lipids over 24 hours daily as this provides a lower fat infusion rate such as 0.15 to 0.25 g/kg/h. 47,48 The metabolism and utilization of lipids can be assisted by the addition of carnitine at 10 mg/kg/d for infants and 100 mg/d for children over 10 kg. It could be necessary to increase carnitine supplementation based on the laboratory values.…”

Ketogenic diet therapies involve a collaborative healthcare team and therefore are typically offered in tertiary care centers. Centers that utilize these therapies with frequency gain valuable experience and become skilled in their practice. This chapter is a summary from the presentations of 5 practitioners including a nurse, pharmacist, and 3 dietitians who shared their expertise during the clinical session of the 2012 International Symposium.
