Ketogenic Diet

The use of fasting to treat certain diseases, including epilepsy, can be traced to the physicians of ancient times. But because prolonged fasting often results in muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies, doctors eventually began to study modified diets. During the early 1920s, Dr. Russel Wilder developed the ketogenic diet and used it to treat epileptics. It remained a popular treatment for epilepsy, especially in children, through the next decade. But when improved anticonvulsant medications were developed around 1940, the use of ketogenic diets declined.
