Ketogenic Diet and Parkinson's ... taking a closer look

Lots of  really interesting information on this topic... well worth reading and researching for yourself.

Day 1 Coconut Ketogenic Diet... I started this yesterday and am going to try and do my best to document my journey.  It takes a lot of thought and preperation.  All meals are homemade and prepared by me based on the ketogenic diet and using coconut oil and coconut flour and flax seed meal... along with other  non traditional items.

Difficulties that I see are going to be cutting out sugar and addition of Protein at each meal.

Sugar, hopefully I will experience some good things after the initial withdrawal symptoms... this could be tough!

Protein, this has proven to conflict with my supplements in the past... but willing to give it a chance... I will let you know how this goes.

Coconut Oil - adding coconut oil, taking by the spoonful prior to my meal and use in cooking
