I want to thank NetGalley and Callisto Media for sending this to me in ebook format in exchange for an honest review.
I have a rare spinal cord disease called syringomyelia, which is a cousin to MS, they share many symptoms. I live with chronic pain and have had several spinal cord surgeries. So I am always looking for things I can do to manage and decrease my pain and improve my quality of life. A good diet is always a good place to start when managing your health.
If you have researched a healthy diet plan, you will find yourself overwhelmed pretty fast, at least that’s how I felt. Then I found this book, and everything changed.
I love the layout of information, meal plans, and recipes. It is easy to follow and understand. The author even explains why each food is beneficial. The recipes are delicious and there are a wide variety of foods to choose from.
I also love the 4-week meal plan! This makes it so easy for someone, like myself, who is new to this, to be successful in changing eating habits. I had never been someone who considered the benefits of eating a certain way, then I got sick and realized how it could help me, as well as, my family.
I bought a physical copy and I’ve shared it with several people who have also been impressed with the book. It has bright, beautiful photos and an easy to read layout.
I haven’t fully implemented the plan yet because of the holidays, so I can’t personally speak to any improvements in how I feel, but I can say that I highly recommend this book to everyone looking to improve their health.
When you live with inflammation, chronic pain, and/or an illness, it is the things we put in our bodies that can make a huge difference in what we get out of our bodies and this book holds the key to get you started.

This is a really good cookbook! I don't personally have MS but someone in my family does and I thought they would like this book. It has a lot of good information about ms and then has 100+ recipes to help with inflammation. I would highly recommend!

I can't comment on whether this cookbook helps MS, since I don't have it, but I think that eating an anti-inflammatory diet (at least some of the time) is a healthy idea!

A good introduction to using an inflamation-reducing diet to help MS. It begins with three chapters talking about MS in general and how this diet can help. This takes up about 20% of the book. It will be helpful to readers who are not very aware of this disease.

Followingthis are the recipes. It's nice that they are all listed at the beginning of the book. Many of them look good. Even if you do not plan to eat a plant-centric diet, you'll find some good ideas. This is in spite of the fact that some of these recipes seem to go to great lengths to be something they are not.

The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Plan and Cookbook
By: Noelle DeSantis

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis back 2015. Finding easy and flavor recipes isn’t the easiest. This book has so many helpful ideas and explains the benefits to the body with each herb and spice. I was able to make 3 of the recipes already and even though this isn’t a diabetic cookbook my 19 year old type 1 son ate it as well and covered correctly he didn’t get a huge spike in his glucose. I will continue to work my way through this easy to fallow cookbook and look to benefits throughout the pages of recipes.

Thanks Netgally for the opportunity to read and review.📚💕
