Jean Claude, I noticed on the Ketogenic list that the parents are
advised to
reduce calories to gain better seizure control.....

Also, it seems that mankind in his native hunter gatherer state must
have
inevitably done a lot of fasting as food supply would have been
uneven? I
read of HG tribes along the Columbia River/Pacific Ocean and many were
thin....the author said they never ate breakfast.....went out hunting
first......were amazed at civilized man's proclivities for breakfast.
I
think we eat a lot more than we should as food is more available to
us?
