I never thought of it, but this is what I have. It's a boat load but take a gander.

Different diets affect everyone differently. Over the past couple of years I have eased into a more plant based diet, eating cleaner and less chemicals. Eating more vegetables, fruits, grains, and beans and less red meat, fast food and foods with chemicals and dyes has really helped me to feel better. I have lost weight and my diabetes is behind me. Although I still deal with the seizures and severe migraines, I feel like I recover sooner. Overall, I have more energy, sleep better and seem to be able to manage my epilepsy better. The latter is very important to me as in 2020 I had Covid and my body had no control over my epilepsy. I was in bed for three months before I was able to start to function more normal. I never want to feel that way again, hence, my journey to a better and healthier life. I began researching and reading everything I got my hands on, watching docu series, virtually attending webinars and even reading online publications from Harvard Medical and Mayo Clinic. In 2024, I slowly started to change my diet and am very glad I did! I encourage you to try different diets til you find the one that best benefits you!👍😃

I don't know about the ketogenic diet. I would stick with the least amount of processed fod possible if you can . Fresh vegetables and rice are my favorites. With chicken, beef, or turkey thrown in . ericthom3 stay away from coffee and alcohol.

I eat a gluten free diet.(no cereals, pastas, tortillas, breads, even if it says gluten free) Cut out salt, sugar and bad fats. I also fast. My eating window is 5-6 hours 5 days a week. 2 times (not days) a week i eat whatever i want, buffets once in a while. The days i eat whatever i want i dont fast either. Dont eat spicy foods (if it heats your body up, u might get a seizure.) I eat 1 or 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and 2-4 hours later i eat dinner. Half a can of beans (no or low sodium) and a 14oz can of carrots (fresh veggies are best). I eat fresh fruits or veggies during or in between meals to fill up. A gluten free diet should cause u 2 lose weight, even if u dont exercise or fast. Good luck

I have dropped my caffeine intake down to two cups in the morning then I’ll move on to drinking enhanced flavored water for the rest of the day and evening as I have a specific amount to meet each day with the medication that is prescribed by my cardiologist.

I like to mix in herbal tea every so often as something different than just water but it still is a benefit.

I have started to eat more vegetables and fruits which are helpful in my diet
