history: Hi, I am on a ketogenic diet, have you ever heard of this type of diet?

I know that it forces the body to burn fat instead of carbs.
That is correct, primarily this diet is used to treat epilepsy in children but my doctor recommended it to me because of my medical condition.
knowledge: The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source.
response: Interesting, I also know that the ketone bodies enter the brain to replace glucose as a source of energy.

That is interesting, this diet was originally developed to replace fasting as a treatment for epilepsy.
knowledge: An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures.
response: That's interesting. It seems the state of ketosis leads to reduced numbers of epileptic seizures.

Yes, I have also heard that the diet has had good results in reducing seizures. The Ketogenic diet is considered a medical nutrition therapy.
knowledge: An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures.
response: I see. The seizure-reducing effect is due to an increase in the blood of the level of ketone bodies.
