Transitioning to a ketogenic diet over four to six weeks by gradually reducing carbohydrates improves compliance, adherence, and results, including mood and sleep.

“We transition them into a ketogenic diet over four to six weeks. So, we titrate the carbohydrates down. And what we have found or my colleague has found, Dr. Allison Hull, she's at the Florida Medical Clinic and has a wellness program, that compliance and adherence to the diet and ultimately the results are better. If you take someone who's eating 300 grams of carbohydrates a day, that's standard, you know, American diet, and you drop them down to, you know, 100, and then the 75, and then 50 at about the four to six-week point, and you get a very nice improvement in many different subjective and objective, you know, biomarkers, they feel better, signs of mood are increased, anxiety using the GAD-7 test, the PHQ-9, SSQ. Sleep actually improves.”
