                                Originally developed in 1921 to treat drug-resistant epilepsy, the 4 to 1 diet is a very specific, high-fat ketogenic eating plan. This medically-supervised regimen, not a typical weight-loss diet, strictly regulates the ratio of fat to combined carbohydrates and protein, requiring careful monitoring by a dietitian.
