history: I like the Ketogenic diet, I eat a lot of meat.
knowledge: The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children.
response: That's interesting, are you perhaps a child? The diet is used in medicine to treat children's refractory epilepsy.

No, I just like how it is low in carbs. Do you know why?
knowledge: The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.
response: Yes, it's because the body is burning fat instead of carbs on this diet.

Yes, it's because the body is burning fat instead of carbs on this diet.
Yes, other diets actually try to burn carbs instead of actual fat.
knowledge: However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies.
response: Did you also know that the liver makes fatty acids and bodies of ketone from the fat if there's not a lot of carbohydrates?

Did you also know that the liver makes fatty acids and bodies of ketone from the fat if there's not a lot of carbohydrates?
No, I actually didn't know the liver does that. Also you said it was to treat epilepsy in kids, would it help adults as well?
knowledge: There is some evidence that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet, and that a less strict regimen, such as a modified Atkins diet, is similarly effective.
response: Yes, there is evidence it helps with adults that have it and they can also use a less strict version of the diet with similar results.

That's what I have read. It appears maybe the higher fat diet helps reduce seizures since your brain feeds on fat to function.
knowledge: However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies.
response: Yes, just remember that there will be fatty acids and bodies of ketone if there's not enough carbohydrates in the diet.
