Ketogenic diet: A diet devised as a treatment for
severe seizure disorders that
do not respond to conventional medication. The ketogenic diet is comprised
almost entirely of fats and protein. All portion must be
precisely weighed and timed. Because this diet can cause
the buildup of ketone bodies in the
blood, it is highly
risky and should only be tried under close medical
supervision.
