Hi. I posted a little bit about these two books in the Kitchen section. They aren't about Epilepsy but they are about Diabetes/Blood Sugar so they do help people with Epilepsy a lot. As we know all too well keeping our blood sugar stable can prevent seizures that can be a result of hypoglycemia. The books are just good in general about staying healthy. And ironically they are great for finding out how to lose weight in a healthy way
I got these books because I was having seizures as a result of going to Starbuck's for breakfast every day and getting Frappucino's and Blueberry Oat Bars (both LOADED with sugar) and not eating a healthy breakfast. As a result, my blood sugar was crashing and I was having seizures that never had to happen. I hope this info is useful.
The two books are:
1) The New Sugar Busters
Amazon product ASIN 0345469585
2) Stop Pre-Diabetes Now
Amazon product ASIN 0470411635
The New Sugar Busters is written for anyone looking to improve their health through their diet. Stop Pre-Diabetes Now is written for people who already have Pre-Diabetes or Diabetes. Many of the basic facts/concepts overlap in the two books. If I had to pick one of them, I would choose The New Sugar Busters book because it is written with the idea that everyone can gain from improving their diet. I don't regret reading both books though. They are both good. There are also lots of recipes in both books.
Both books make it clear there are lots of kinds of good-tasting food we can still eat.
The main ones they say we can't eat which both books mention are:
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Sucrose
White Rice
White Potatoes
White Pasta
They give many alternatives to eat in their place.
