Intermittent Fasting and Healthier Life with MS!

Just sharing my success with eating Keto and Intermittment Fasting.
Being back to a weight I haven't seen in ages has me feeling so much better!  Of course it helps to be following the Mathew Embry Best Bet Diet helps and some of what I learned from Terry Wahls years ago.  It's not easy converting recipes to be compliant with the MS life-style but after years of tweaking, I'm feeling so much better off.  

I will not take any "disease modification drugs" since I use foods and supplements to keep my immune system healthy and with that, there's no room to take things that will sabotage it and trigger illnesses. 

I'd love to hear from MSers who want to share ideas, exercises, recipes, etc.  I don't go on the popular, censoring social media site so much.  I think they make enough money.  I'd rather visit DS.  Seems they have the better notifications on email again!

Hey there Lorrie...ages since I've made the connection with the group or you. I'd love tips on reducing weght naturally. I myself got really messed up physically with severe anemia just prior to the COVID Pandemic, then of course my gym closed for 5 months. Ate to excess for my reduced mobility + put on a ton of weight. Almost zero muscles on my core, at least my physio believes having gone to a gym regularly over 25 years I shouldn't experience muscular atrophy.

Good to see you, Anne! I believe intermittent fasting is a real healing mechanism combined with practicing good sleep hygiene. You can get yourself in better shape! Between physical therapy exercises, tuning into Trevor Wicken (MS Gym) on YouTube and also Doctor Gretchen Hawley, there is loads of inspiration and exercise help! Stay strong, my friend! Hope to see more of you on DS. ☺

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
