i wanted to do a quick video to introduce you to what i think is the best diet structure for autism okay now i put a link down below of some really interesting research on this topic and if my child had autism this is where i would start now i’m not going to create all the details with meal plans i want to give you the big idea the overview uh the percentages of of the macros in creating a meal plan for someone with autism but if you follow this structure based on the research that i’m seeing you’ll see significant improvement in your child’s communication skills their ability to socialize with other people their cognitive function their demeanor their ability to have self-control so you might want to try this now the typical ketogenic diet is about five percent carbs 20 protein and 75 fat i’m going to recommend a tweaked ketogenic diet where you’re increasing your fat to 80 to 90 percent fat and so this is a very similar diet to the diet for kids that have epilepsy okay it’s called a traditional ketogenic diet but i’m going to recommend the healthy version of that diet by adding more fat but keeping the ingredients healthy because we want to provide the nutrients we don’t want to put these other things in there now i would recommend 25 of these fats being mct oil not butter not ghee mct oil why because mct oil will give your child ketones immediately and that’s what we’re trying to do we’re trying to flood the brain with a massive amount of ketones with a very low amount of glucose because we have to bypass certain mechanisms that are preventing glucose from feeding the cells and so this will feed the cells directly and you’ll start to see improvement of the brain tissue pretty quickly as far as the carbs go i would recommend bringing the carbs down around 10 to 20 grams okay so you’re going to have to really pay attention to that now i know that’s kind of vague but i don’t want to get into in this video counting calories and doing this or that i just want to kind of give you the overview and i will do other videos on the more the details but when you’re doing the mct oil you can bypass the a lot of mechanisms in the liver and the gallbladder so the body can then take these ketones directly right in really quick all right so we want to do a healthy version of the ketogenic diet we definitely want to do veggies non-starchy a lot of fiber we want to do a lot of leafy greens or even green powder if your child will not eat vegetables because we want to add phytonutrients and some of the other nutrients in these greens i would highly recommend that you don’t do any dairy or casein which is the protein in milk because it’s been found that that could aggravate the brain also you don’t want to do any gluten okay don’t use any grains you don’t want to do even ghee why because ghee doesn’t have nearly the amount of medium chain triglycerides that mct oil has okay from usually from coconuts and so we want to provide the body the best absorption and the maximum amount of ketones so roughly you’re going to be feeding your child fatty meats fatty sausage coconut oil would be a good thing talo which is beef fat eggs fatty fish fatty nuts like pecans and macadamia nuts and then on top of that you want to add electrolytes okay a really good electrolyte powder without any sugar b vitamins preferably from nutritional yeast or another natural source and trace minerals okay that way they can have all the nutrition and be fed the exact right fuel to help repair brain tissue so stay tuned for more videos on this topic and go ahead and comment down below hey before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my content i would love to hear about your success story please share it in the link down below
