Third year Day 183 - Saturday June 14, 2014

Today I did some research on the Ketogenic Diet.  Dr. Jen Hawes said that maybe it is something that Bridgett should try out.  There is some very interesting research, although its hard to be convinced simply by studies done on rats:)  But, in seriousness, it seems that it could be beneficial to her.  I will talk to Faith about it and see what she thinks.  The diet is basically a low carb diet that puts the body into a state of ketosis.  Ketosis is a metabolic process where the body cells burn fats instead of glucose for energy.  I looked at some sample menus, and the first drawback will be working around her allergies-yuck!  Well, we will discuss the whole thing and try to decide what to do.....
