Junk food junkie? Not anymore!

So...
I thought junk food junkie was just a cute catch phrase that I made up one night after plowing through a bag of chips, a few energy drinks, and a candy bar. Now, I see that certain foods are, quite literally, addictive. I was hooked on garbage.
Now, I am an unofficial Wahls Warrior. Dr. Terry Wahls gave me the hope that no other doctors had given me.
I was nearly bedridden a few months ago.  I had to ask my husband to find me things at the clothing store. I didn't have the energy to walk around the store. Embarrassingly, I would get winded just walking five feet to get to my bathroom. This was in spite of the high dose stimulants and massive amounts of caffeine which I was constantly consuming.
Now, thanks to Amber Turner (PT), Kevin Lucas (OT), Chris Reid (PT), Dr. Archer (MS specialist), and Dr. Wahls, I am putting those days behind me. I have reduced my stimulant intake from the highest dosage of modafinil to a super low dose of Adderall.  I can walk around big stores and choose my own things! I still use my walker and need help seeing things, but I am getting better!
How did I do it?
Daily physical therapy, occupational therapy, NMES (neuromuscular electric stimulation), & big diet changes.
I thought that the diet change would be difficult.  I thought veggies were gross. I lived off of microwaved food, sugar, and fast food.
I didn't realize that microwaving my food was ruining the flavor. I had no idea that I was allergic to the foods that I used to love.
So, what do I eat? Tons of food. 3c color rich veggies and fruits,  3c leafy greens, 3c sulfur rich veggies,  natural meats, and other wonderful foods.
What did I eliminate? Processed foods, inhumanely raised meats, glutens, eggs, legumes, sugars, and hydrogenates.
This is just a short framework. For the whole story,  I suggest that you get a copy of The Wahls Protocol.  It is a great resource for those of us who struggle with MS.

I am inspired, alert, and loving what I eat.
Keep an eye out for more news about my journey. I plan to kick MS's butt in a big way!
