I think diets are a bit like football teams. There are plenty of them and they each have their fanatical supporters!
I have looked at a few of them. If they fail to help some of them put it down you not following them closely enough or not carrying on for long enough.
I just try to follow normal NHS guidance and keep my weight in check using the 5:2 diet principles when it creeps up. Eating a varied diet with interesting foods from around the world helps me to enjoy life even when travel is difficult. It would take a lot of hard evidence to stop me trying new cheeses.
We are restricted in so many ways, why do we want to impose more?
There will be people with MS who find they have special dietary requirements in the same way as normal people, but what works for them doesn’t mean it will do anything for you.

Morning, I alway find dieting advice a bit tricky. However, an interestingly dieting article came up on my tablet this morning.
If nothing else it makes for an interesting read.
Personally, I eat little and often. Don’t weigh myself too often. If my waist band feels tight I pull back on the treats 
I also eat little and often. Sometimes too often lol
That’s why I try to have healthy snacks
