This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Modified Ketogenic Diet

Select your language:

The Modified Ketogenic Diet (MKD) is a more liberal version of the classic diet, often used when tapering treatment to a less restrictive form (like MAD or LGIT) or when there are barriers to achieving adequate dietary compliance. With a macronutrient ratio between 1:1 and 2:1, the MKD affords more flexibility, which can be beneficial for easing any gastrointestinal discomfort that might be associated with a high-fat intake.

Think the Modified Ketogenic Diet is right for you? Talk to your doctor and Registered Dietitian for a comprehensive evaluation.
