I eat fairly regularly. Occasionally I treat myself. But my diet is pretty regular.

I eat a breakfast sandwich at times or I have a protein bar or shake and then I'll have regular food just smaller portions

Many people with epilepsy find that maintaining a consistent diet helps manage their seizures. While it's normal to occasionally deviate from your eating plan, keeping track of how dietary changes affect you is important. Some MyEpilepsyTeam members use a trigger journal to monitor how food choices impact their seizure activity.

Here are some key diet management tips:
• Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day
• Focus on protein and healthy fats
• Keep sugar intake low
• Stay well-hydrated
• Track pre-seizure triggers Before making any significant changes to your diet or fasting routine, please discuss with your healthcare team. They can help monitor your nutritional needs and ensure your eating plan is supporting your overall health and seizure management goals. What works for one person may not work for another, so finding the right balance for your specific situation is essential.

I don’t diet. Never have never will. But I do eat healthy. I know it’s better to eat a banana, potato or pb after a seizure, and i start getting cravings if I’m low on some vitamin or mineral. So I eat what I want, when I want.
