The diet they recommend for kids is VERY restrictive and not very palatable. I think they're also calorie restricted.

This sort of thing is VERY foreign to someone that hasn't been indoctrinated into LC like we have been.

Breakfast: egg with bacon, made with heavy whipping cream and butter, plus an apple
Snack: peanut butter mixed with butter
Lunch: tuna salad made with celery, mayonnaise, and heavy whipping cream, served with lettuce
Snack: keto yogurt (made with heavy whipping cream, sour cream, strawberries, and artificial sweetener)
Dinner: cheeseburger with lettuce and green beans
Snack: keto custard (heavy whipping cream, egg, and pure unsweetened vanilla flavoring)

I remember reading somewhere that the protein level in the keto diet for epilepsy is very tightly regulated to avoid protein being converted into sugar, so I find it interesting that apples are on the menu, something so high in sugar! I wonder if there is some purpose for the sugar at breakfast?
