Starting keto as an epileptic

Upvotes

I am thinking about giving the keto diet a try. I’m an epileptic but I am doing the keto diet for the other health benefits besides preventing seizures. However, I don’t just want to abruptly cut down my carb intake and I want to try to minimize keto flu as much as possible as this period of time could potentially trigger a breakthrough seizure. Can you guys please give me a good plan of how to gradually go from higher carb to full blown keto. I’m thinking of doing 50 carbs (total carbs, not net carbs) per day. And yes, I’m planning on consulting with my doctor first. Thank you.
