My diet here: I'll have to add walnuts. DON'T follow my recommendations, they are the blatherings of a stroke-addled idiot.
What would a post-stroke diet look like?

Abstract
Obesity
is reaching epidemic proportions and is a strong risk factor for a
number of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders such as hypertension,
type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and also certain types
of cancers. Despite the constant recommendations of health care
organizations regarding the importance of weight control, this goal
often fails. Genetic predisposition in combination with inactive
lifestyles and high caloric intake leads to excessive weight gain. Even
though there may be agreement about the concept that lifestyle changes
affecting dietary habits and physical activity are essential to promote
weight loss and weight control, the ideal amount and type of exercise
and also the ideal diet are still under debate. For many years,
nutritional intervention studies have been focused on reducing dietary
fat with little positive results over the long-term. One of the most
studied strategies in the recent years for weight loss is the ketogenic
diet. Many studies have shown that this kind of nutritional approach has
a solid physiological and biochemical basis and is able to induce
effective weight loss along with improvement in several cardiovascular
risk parameters. This review discusses the physiological basis of
ketogenic diets and the rationale for their use in obesity, discussing
the strengths and the weaknesses of these diets together with cautions
that should be used in obese patients.
