Default response to johnt, nutrition advice for pd'ers, 7:1 diet

wish i had some magic bullet for you johnt, after 12 years from diagnosis i don't have much of a problem. i eat very little dairy, no cheese - only reason is if i buy yogurt or cheese have no will power and eat too much, no bread, pasta occasionally - same reason - eat a lot of brown rice with veggies, oatmeal, apples, no meat, a little chicken, no potatoes but i do eat sweet potatoes, snack on prunes every day, very boring diet. drink black tea in the morning, coffee later in the day for a caffeine boost.

as an aside, here's a discussion on how the ratio of carbohydrates to protein can overcome the negative affect of protein in advanced patients taking l-dopa and general nutrition. wish i could just take an agonist.
