I am so happy to say that since going on Dr. Wahls diet I have not only lost almost 20 pounds but minimized some of my MS symptoms as well as I don’t have as many cravings for bad foods anymore. I used to crave sugar, or processed foods, and I find that it is not as much of an issue for me. I can sit next to those eating fast food, or foods that I know are not healthy and not be tempted to join in. People ask Dr. Wahls all the time if they can “cheat”. She tells them that of course they can cheat and eat bad. But in the end the only person your cheating is yourself. And that is one thing that is sticking with me on my new diet journey and my attempts to slow my MS down. I am using food as my medicine.I am not relying on Copaxone alone.
It is exciting knowing that virtually every thing I am putting in my body is helping me. My Vitamin D level is at 65 which is as high as it has been since I was diagnosed in 2009. I know that eating correctly and according to Dr. Wahls I am helping to cool off the fire of inflammation in my brain and spine. I am providing my body foods that it needs for ultimate vitality. With this diet I can truly say I have MS but it does NOT have me. I know that we all could manage this disease so much better if we realized that we can not rely on drugs alone. We HAVE to fight for our lives through intensive nutrition and healthy habits.
