Modified Atkins diet leads to fewer epilepsy seizures, study says

From MedWire News (U.K.) (1/3):

Patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy who followed a modified Atkins diet for at least one month had fewer seizures, Johns Hopkins research showed. The diet had lower carbohydrate limits than the original Atkins plan but was less restrictive and easier to manage than a ketogenic diet, researchers reported in the journal Epilepsy & Behavior.
