Keto diet[edit]
@Bon courage removed this a while ago:
[1] Most epilepsy specialists order these children to eat 80% of the diet from fat by weight (90% of calories), plus carbohydrate-free vitamins and minerals to prevent vitamin deficiency.[2] Although this extreme diet plan can be life-saving compared to the alternative, it is not a harmless diet.[3] Children on this diet are at risk of broken bones, stunted growth, kidney stones, high cholesterol, and micronutrient deficiency.[3][4] It is not known how long a child can maintain this diet without incurring permanent damage to growth and development.[4]
What I valued about this was that it:
- emphasizes that "keto" is not an inherently healthful, harmless diet that anyone can try, or that's safe to follow for years without medical supervision, and
- it provides a comparison between diet that the bodybuilders/social media influencers are talking about and the one done by the kids with epilepsy.

- Don't feel super-strongly about this; just was wary about overlapping too much with the main article. Bon courage (talk) 06:01, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that "the main article" is the right way to think about it. This is "the main article" for voluntary dietary restrictions; that is "the main article" for medically necessary severe dietary restrictions.
- I think I'll put back all but the last sentence, and we can see how that feels for a few days. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:23, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
@Bon courage This article is about low-carbohydrate dieting as for weight loss, or a lifestyle choice. Is that true for grammar, since the word "or" can be tricky for times. 203.190.54.67 (talk) 09:57, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- I think 'as' was misplaced; fixed. Bon courage (talk) 11:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
