Shows that low fat diet may be the key to overall better quality of life w/ ms. The reason I am bringing this up is because I have been experiencing MS symptoms for way too long (about 10 yrs) before just being diagnosed just recently.
But a few years back I wanted to lose some weight because I gained over 80lbs and a nutritionist suggested I go on a low fat diet 22 grams of fat a day w/ 1200 calories. (This is the only diet that ever worked for me since I was sick).
But long story short after about 2 months I was feeling better, I was doing more activities (exercising, going out) and wasn't experiencing as many flares/symptoms. I continued on the diet for about 6 months until I hit my goal. I was feeling great ... not normal but pretty dang close.
I guess I assumed I was cured but within 6 months I was back on the couch. I didn't think about this until I read about another person's experience w/ change in diet from a Dr Wahls on this forum. So I Googled it and this is what I found in relation to ms and a low fat diet...

You can even google: NIH low fat diet ms
I think I may jump back on the diet and add foods/veggies/fruits that help the mitochondria. But this could be what helped Dr Wahls to recover with the foods she recommends they are low in fat so it makes sense.
I am so pumped. Any Thoughts?
