The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book: A Low-Fat Diet for the Treatment of M.S., R…

Description: About this productSynopsisHundreds of new recipes for dishes that taste terrific but stick to the diet rules so important for controlling M.S.--now completely revised to conform to the latest medical research.Over thirty-five years of clinical tests have now proven beyond a doubt that the Swank low-fat diet is effective in reducing the frequency and severity of recurrences in multiple sclerosis patients. Now Dr. Swank and Barbara Brewer Dugan have completely revised this classic book to conform to the latest research in the field, and added hundreds of recipes for dishes that taste great, but stick to the rules. The diet avoids animal fat as much as possible-the one essential first step for anyone suffering from M.S. Almost no red meat is permitted. Chicken is allowed, and most kinds of fish, but the chicken cannot be cooked with the skin on. Almost no dairy products are permitted. And yet with all the restrictions, Swank and Dugan have devised recipes for everything from hearty soups to delicious desserts, all with preparations that take into account the special needs of M.S. patients. Swank and Dugan provide complete background information on the development of the diet and the clinical tests that have proven its effectiveness. In addition to helpful sections on the lifestyle of the M.S. patient, Swank and Dugan offer tips on sticking to the diet, equipping the kitchen, shopping for healthful food, eating out (with some pertinent information on fast-food restaurants), and keeping the careful dietary records that are essential to continuing good nutrition. This is the low-fat diet that works in reducing the number and severity of relapses in M.S. patients-and The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book provides the nutritious and tasty recipes that M.S. patients and their families can live with for years to come.
