Sounds like a ketogenic diet! Your doctor understands human nutrition, so I would say you're in good hands.

ketogenic indeed. not the best fun and I'm kind of returning slowly to a normal diet over the next couple of months. Let's just say it's been an experience.

Never even heard of it! Primarily used to treat epilepsy in children? That's something I should look up more!

it's designed to make your body switch from glucose to burning fat as a primary fuel. the ketogenic diet was used from the 1920's onwards as a way to reduce convulsion in epileptic patients. That's not why I was asked to go on it and a ketogenic diet should only be maintained under medical supervision.
