The Yawkey building entrance is now closed.

As of April 29, BMC’s Yawkey building doors are closed as an entrance. All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter the hospital via the Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk. Learn more.

The Modified Ketogenic Diet (MKD) is a more liberal version of the classic diet, often used when tapering treatment to a less restrictive form (like MAD or LGIT) or when there are barriers to achieving adequate dietary compliance. With a macronutrient ratio between 1:1 and 2:1, the MKD affords more flexibility, which can be beneficial for easing any gastrointestinal discomfort that might be associated with a high-fat intake.
