The newest version of the main book on keto and epilepsy is by dr Eric kossoff of John Hopkins. They recently released a 6th edition that expands from the strict keto in prior editions with what they call the “modified Atkins diet” or “modified Atkins diet for epilepsy.” It’s also a low carb diet but less fat based than normal keto, and is a little more flexible.
Here’s a link to info on the book...

When people ask me how to do low-carb/keto, I refer them to a Dr. Atkins book. Seriously. Not the new ones but one of the older versions. The reason I do this is because it's got enough science to be informative but it's not as cult-like as keto can be. Hah. It also highlights how easy it can be.
About a decade ago, I read this in Dr Atkins' book, "The Age-defying Diet Revolution". I thought the carb amount was so low (like cheese) that, I added yogurt to the list of no-bother-counting list of foods and forgot all about it. But, now out of curiosity I too would like to know if someone knows.
EDIT 1: Found the ebook and did a little search.

Strangely it's not the way I remember reading it: there was a specific section explaining how yogurt was calculated and how much lactose should remain at the end of the fermentation process. There is no mention of that in this one. From what I can remember of the cover art, mine could have been an earlier edition. I wonder why this was changed....
EDIT 2: Found the version I had. But there's no searchable e-book version of it.

You sound like a sugar addict and a prime candidate for low-carb dieting.
Buy a copy of this. Read it. Do it.
When you've lost the bulk of your weight, buy a copy of this.

I tried a few different versions of the Modified Atkins Diet (70% fat). Some partially worked, some didn't change anything for me. There isn't always a success. This book has statistics and the different protocols (there is more than 1 type of modified Atkins for epilepsy) for modified Atkins as well as true ketogenic. https://www.amazon.com/Ketogenic-Modified-Atkins-Diets-Treatments/dp/1936303949/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
The type of keto for epilepsy isn't the type advertised on r/keto wiki.

This website is run by lead researchers in ketogenic diet field: https://www.ketonutrition.org/practical-guides-to-the-ketogenic-diet notably Dom D'Agostino.
Paleomedicina has something called the paleolithic ketogenic diet that can be used for epilepsy but the protocol is more strict (3:1 fat: protein ratio). It costs 30 Euros for the protocol.
I'm going to try paleomedicina's protocol if this new medicine I'm on doesn't work.
Good luck
Edit: Advice: Read and learn as much as possible if you truly want to try to fix epilepsy with nutrition.
