How effective is this diet?
Though sources vary, studies show that this diet is effective in approximately one third of the patients that try it. With this diet, success is defined on an individual basis. In other words, one patient may see a complete cease in seizures, one may see a fifty percent reduction, and another may see a twenty five percent reduction. The rate at which a decrease in seizures may occur varies. It is usually standard that the diet is kept for at least 3 months before deciding that it is not working.
