Keto Kid is a practical guide that will enable families to successfully master the ketogenic diet, while making the experience as pleasant as possible for both child and parent."

Does you child need to be on a ketogenic diet to control epilepsy or obesity? Then this is the book you need to read from cover to cover and follow exactly for important information about making meals you kid will eat, deal with special events like birthdays, helping your child understand why he can't have certain foods anymore, and a detailed diary account of the author's success at implementing this low-carb approach with her four-year old son who was having constant seizures. Two years later, he is seizure-free because of a high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet.
As one who is seriously considering the ketogenic diet to treat my daughter's epilepsy, I've been eagerly devouring any books even remotely related to the ketogenic diet. As the possibility of implementing the diet begins to loom, I finally ordered this book.To say it's disappointing is an understatement. I'm giving two stars only because, I suppose, if you *started* with this book, you might find it helpful. But I would not suggest starting here, nor would I suggest buying it at all.From the outset, I found it to be strangely organized. The first chapter is on holidays. Don't get me wrong: holidays are important and absolutely should be included in the book. But as the first chapter, before "Coping with the Diet"? No. I also found it to be badly edited.In addition, it was highly repetitive. I would read something and think, "Didn't she just say this a few pages ago?" It's a short book, with at least half devoted to recipes, so the repetition is especially odd and noticeable.With regards to her recipes, I didn't find them to be particularly helpful. She gives you a recipe, but doesn't *tell* you anything helpful about it--like the ratio--because she wants you to do the math yourself. I do not deny that learning to do the math on your own is important, but how are these recipes meant to be useful if you have to recalculate them all on your own?Finally, her suggested notes for caretakers, while basically helpful, are strange written. For instance, in the proposed note--which the author actually used--, "Grandma's instruction for a parents' weekend away," Grandma is instructed thusly: remove foil from frozen dinner, replace with plastic wrap, heat in microwave until warm. And: put a straw cut to 2/3 its original size into the cup of cream. I'm sorry, but is Grandma brain dead? If Grandma needs to be instructed how to use a microwave and toaster, then I would suggest she is not capable of caring for ANY child, let alone one on a special diet.I cannot recommend that anyone buy this book. I highly recommend "Fighting back with Fat" and "The Keto Cookbook." These books contain all the info that is to be found in "Keto Kid" (plus more!) they're arranged better, written better, and are FAR more helpful.
I bought this book after my son started the ketogenic diet. This books has great recipes and suggestions. I make waffles which are his favorite. I learned where to buy products. This books makes the diet easier.
I was curious so I ordered this book. Then I was horrified to read the recipes and recommendations. They basically want you to eat highly polyunsaturated fatty acids as your main fat - so GMO canola is in everything. The recipes make no mention of healthy fat from grass-fed butter, grass-fed meats or coconut oil. The author admits that this would be dangerous for anyone except a kid with seizures, who they feel has no other choice. I agree, except that this is a dangerous diet for everyone. Poor freaking kid. There is a healthy way to do a ketogenic diet, and it involves removing grains, legumes and sugars from the diet, eating plenty of coconut oil, grass-fed butter and meats, and supplementing with some healthy greens. This is so doable, and so healthy. But this book will not give you any sense of that at all. To be fair, this is probably exactly what all the doctors and conventional medical establishment tell you to do, and it can seem crazy not to follow their dietary advice when it comes to your kid with seizures. This book might be healthy in a bind or when you are starting out in total panic mode, but please get off the PUFAs and especially the GMO foods. We are talking about sick kids here, don't make it worse.
