Ketogenic diet and its effect on tremors.

Posted by tko54 @tko54, Feb 9 9:33am

Is anyone practicing a Ketogenic diet to reduce tremors? There has been recent research that mentions positive results, but nothing has been released regarding the results yet. I have had body tremors for six months and have been trying the Keto diet for three weeks. I have noticed a definite reduction in the intensity of tremors. I also have been taking supplements at the same time as I'm trying to avoid Ldopa as prescribed by my doctor. I take Omega 3 fish oil 1250mg, 100mg of B6, 400mg Mucuna Pruriens X 3, 1000mg L-Tyrosine, 135mg Magnesium, and 500mg X 3 L-Phenylalanine.
The Keto diet understandably has gotten a lot of negative reviews. At first look, it seems counter-intuitive and eliminates many healthy foods. It was developed in the early 1900s when doctors realized that when people with seizures fasted, the seizures stopped. The Keto diet was the result of a doctor figuring out how to replicate the body's response to fasting, so these people could eat. Seems to me this might have help with tremors. Any thoughts?

This isn’t the healthiest diet that’s for sure but the results can be enticing. It is a < 20 carbs a day diet that puts your body in Ketosis. This is when your body burns your body fat to supply you with energy instead of Carbs.
