Ketogenic diets used in epilepsy go far beyond a bit of heavy whipping cream in your morning coffee.
A classic ketogenic diet would require significant quantities of heavy whipping cream (or MCT oil or other oils) with every meal, including snacks. Wikipedia has a good example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet#Classic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet#Classic
Doing a true ketogenic diet is hard work. Most of what people call ketogenic diets are actually more like Atkins or low-carb. Going into full ketosis requires significant protein restriction and augmenting with significant fat sources.
