Terry Wahls, the doctor who claims she reversed her MS through diet would only partly agree. In her book 'The Wahls Protocol', she spells a diet regime out from a functional medicine perspective.

The other thing that the keto proponents really don't promote (or know offhand) is that one can still reap the benefits of keto in a mild nutritional ketogenic state.

Dr. Terry Wahls in her book, "The Wahls Protocol" points out research that shows that medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) manufacture more ketones per calories than other fats. This allows for a higher uptake of carbs & protein, but with the body still generating a mild excess of ketone bodies.

MCTs are basically the richest in coconut oil and palm oil, so a MCT Keto Diet tends to be far more adoptable than a fully keto diet.

Yea, definitely sucks.

If you are looking for more potential life-style coping strategies, I would highly recommend The Wahls Protocol by Dr Terry Wahls. In a nutshell, she makes the case for adjusting diet as the chemical processes needed by the body can not run if the critical processes can't run due to a nutritional limiting-reagent.

Without purchasing the book, her TED talk pretty much outlines her strategy plus the heavy use of coconut oil & milk for a paleo/keto-ish (aka, targeted keto). Consumption takes place as smoothies, salads, and with a deep variety of produce.
