Summary

The current study aims to test an online, non-restrictive diet among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Diet is the number one searched second-line therapy among persons with MS, however there are currently no established dietary approaches to improve health and wellbeing among persons with MS. Participants will complete the 8-week diet program using an online application. The primary research question is whether the diet program is acceptable and can improve general health indicators including cholesterol, glucose, body weight, body fat as well as MS symptoms (i.e., walking, cognition, fatigue, and quality of life).
