Hi, I started swimming to encourage my son to get into swimming, I now swim with him at club level and I compete with the team when a Swim carnival offers Multiclass events. I have followed the overcomingms (OMS) lifestyle for 6 years now, the OMS website has lots of recipes on there. There is references to the Swank diet in the book and on the website forums. I found I just had to manage my diet so I was getting enough energy to fuel my body on the days I am swim training. For me I just concentrated the higher energy meals (contaning fish) on those days? I'm no expert but it works for me. Honestly I did not start the OMS diet to give up sugar and the recipes don't necessarily say to exclude sugar but I now don't add any extra sugar to anything.

I'd recommend getting the book, it lays out all the scientific evidence very clearly. Once you understand why you're doing something it makes it much easier to follow https://www.amazon.co.uk/Overcoming-Multiple-Sclerosis-Evidence-Based-Recovery/dp/1760293199/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483781422&sr=8-1&keywords=Overcoming+multiple+sclerosis They are about to bring out a cookbook as well, I haven't ordered it yet but if you're struggling for inspiration it might help https://www.amazon.co.uk/Overcoming-Multiple-Sclerosis-Cookbook-Delicious/dp/1760113743/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483781422&sr=8-2&keywords=Overcoming+multiple+sclerosis I've been following OMS for almost four years and have stayed relapse and symptom free so I personally highly recommend it x
