The Low Glycemic Index Treatment (LGIT)

The LGIT is similar to the Ketogenic Diet in that the amount of carb is reduced in the child’s diet. The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of the effect of carbs on blood sugar levels. Fast acting carbs have a high GI and are discouraged while following the LGIT. It is helpful to eat carbs listed on the GI in conjunction with a fat-containing food to lower the impact of the carb digested in the body. Household measurements, such as cups and tablespoons, can be used to create meals just like regular family meals. Careful carb counting of foods on the GI list and intentional addition of fat containing foods are key to this diet. It is important to note the differences between the LGIT and the other diet options:

Plan well-rounded meals containing proper portions of protein, low GI carbs and fat
Eat carbs that register at 50 or less on the GI scale
Total about 40-60 grams of carb per day
