My father was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's earlier this year, and through our journey, we've found it challenging to find good dietary resources and support. I'm working on building an online resource to help others facing similar challenges.
I'd really value hearing about your experiences:
1. What's been the most challenging part of making dietary changes? (Like finding recipes, grocery shopping, meal planning, etc.)
2. For those following specialized diets (like ketogenic/Mediterranean/etc.), what are your biggest daily struggles in trying to stick with it? Which diet are you trying to adhere to?
I want to ensure whatever I build actually addresses the real problems we all face in this journey. Your experiences would be incredibly helpful in shaping this resource to be truly useful for our community.
Thank you for any insights you're willing to share

My hospice grief counselor swears that his cancer went into remission over diet. I don’t know that it’s true, but a good diet is definitely helpful.

Since my hip replacement, I’ve been juicing most of the time. It is a lot better than eating candy or ice cream or even ensure as I add my own protein and vitamins.

Do you somehow believe you’ll conquer Alzheimer’s through diet? If it were that simple, the cruelty that is Alzheimer’s would have left us long ago. If you’re for real, I hope you’ll let your father have whatever peace he can, and not be pestering him with some specialized diet

Reporting for admins approval or elimination.

To the OP, I think once Alzheimer's is on the scene, and esp. early, the diet is the absolute LEAST of ANY of it.
