You can try modified atkins diet. It's a double edged sword which will help you to control seizures as well as to reduce weight. The Modified Atkins diet limits carbohydrates to 15 gms per day and emphasizes protein and fat intake for weight loss. Allowed breakfast foods include high-fat meats such as bacon, sausage and ham, as well as eggs and cheese. You can add small amounts of low-carb vegetables to eggs for omelets. Low-carb breads may be allowed in small amounts, as long as the total carbohydrate intake remains within the prescribed levels. You can use butter liberally. Pancakes can be made from soy or almond flour, which are not made from grains. Don't drink fruit juices, which contain large amounts of carbohydrates. For lunch and dinner, mix tuna or chicken salad with mayonnaise, a high-fat, low-carb food. Low-carb vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, onions, spinach, cabbage, string beans, spaghetti squash and Brussels sprouts. Limit fruits to the allowed carbohydrate count, which will add up to very little fruit. If you are a complete vegetarian Tofu, Nuts & Seeds like pumpkin & sunflower seeds, beans,long grain brown rice, cottage cheese etc can be considered as substitutes for meat. You should consult your doctor before starting Modified Atkins Diet. As far as exercises are concerned you can engage in walking, swimming,games like volley ball and tennis etc. Yoga also will be ideal as it will help to reduce the stress levels which is usually a trigger for seizures. Try to have someone around you who can help in case of seizures when you exercise. You can try acupuncture as a treatment for seizures. Acupuncture effectively alleviates epilepsy, a nervous system disorder characterized by unregulated brain cell activity causing seizures. New research finds acupuncture combined with medications is more effective than using only medications as a therapy for epilepsy.
