A modified ketogenic diet consisting of approximately 40% MCTs, omega-3 fats (flaxseed oil), 20-25% protein, and fiber was used for Alzheimer's and cancer research.

“So, the modified ketogenic diet we used was we took out the lard, and we put like a large percentage of the fat. Maybe 40% was MCTs and then we also used omega-3 fats with flaxseed oil. At the time, I was very interested in MUFAs and PUFAs. We looked at what ketogenic diet researchers were using. I was like, "Well, let's make our own." So, we did like 20% instead of like 10%, you know, protein. We did like 20% or more protein, 20% to 25%. And then we replaced the fats with essentially MCT, flaxseed oil, and then we put some fiber in there too.”
