I suffer from fibromyalgia myself and I was wondering how much of a reduction in pain does this diet help with this condition as nothing seems to help at the moment.

Thanks for your reply.

I started the Atkins 20 diet 2 months ago today at my doctors request. A month in I made a slight change to the Keto diet. I am pre-diabetic and diagnosed with Hashimotos disease. I have spinal stenosis and sciatica on both sides due to four different disc tears. I weighed 299.9 lbs. Exactly two months later and I haven’t felt this good since my twenties (54 yo male).
My chronic pain has been drastically reduced, my stomach and bowel issues have disappeared, I went from barely being able to walk to working out at the gym about an hour and a half a day 6 days a week. I have lost over 30 pounds! I no longer have sugar or carb cravings. I just had blood work done and will find out next week how things went with that.
Feeling optimistic!
