Low-calorie diet could be deadly for Lou Gehrig's patients: study - Weight Management - C-Health
OK so now what do I do? I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't!! This article actually says I should follow a high-fat diet to save my motor neurons! It goes on to say that I should take in high calories to live longer! Go figure!!
Until 2004, I was an independent and active woman -- a former airline sales exec and then a high school educator. Then my body kept betraying me. I was finally diagnosed with ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease -- confined to a wheelchair and unable to speak. With life at a slower pace, I learned to live a more conscious and mindful life -- buying, eating and other choices. I listen instead of talking, and I observe instead of running and rushing.

Since the brain and nerves have a high fat content, this makes sense to me. I try to eat a diet high in "good fat" , e.g., dairy, eggs, and also protein. One general rule could be to try to ensure nutrition for all the calories we eat, thus, the old story of limiting sweets and chips still stands!
