+ Recently , there has been a lot of talk about supplementing carnitine while on the keto diet. There are limited studies on carnitine and it’s efficacy in controlling seizures while on the diet. We do know that carnitine may help reduce muscle weakness and increase energy level. We are doing some preliminary studies to see if carnitine supplementation plays a major role in the diet. In some cases, carnitine has helped improve seizure control, in others, it has increased seizures or had no impact at all. We are recommending that you get your carnitine levels checked while on the diet. If your levels are low, discuss supplementation with your physician.
I’ve been getting several requests to have another get together to share ideas and give support to each other. Parents are also requesting to have their child at the meeting so they can meet other children on the keto diet. If you are interested in joining us for a Keto Support Group, please call Jennifer (310) 395-6751 at the Charlie Foundation.

For those of you looking for convenience, Christina Chaplin, one of our newcomers to the diet, came up with a suggestion for weighing out the allotted amount of margarine once a week and freezing it until you need it. Place the allotted amount in paper salsa cups then put the cups in a Tupperware, label, and freeze. Reminder that the Frozen Nabisco Eggbeaters should be thawed in the refrigerator. Shelf life in frig is only seven days.
