I haven't made any drastic changes, but since my diagnosis, I've been consciously trying to maintain a more balanced diet. I work with a nutritionist to ensure that I'm getting the right combination of nutrients to support my treatment and overall health. I feel that it's more about making healthier choices every day than following a strict diet. I know myself, and if I try to stick to a strict diet, I'll end up failing within a week.

I have been trying my best to maintain a healthy diet, but today I am feeling quite low and drained of energy. I'm craving some comfort food in It's a tough battle :(

im on keto and i hate every moment 😫

A special diet is only necessary in certain cases e.g advanced CKD where you need to go easy on protein.Every patient is different and accordingly the diet must be customized.However, being a Lifestyle Medicine physician myself, I find great benefits with a whole food plant based diet, ensuring adequate supplements for B12 and Vitamin D.Minimizing on oil, sugar and salt.These will keep us healthy overall. Do remember to discuss with your doc if a special diet can help you.
