My arthritis and fibromyalgia particularly seem to be better as do my alcohol cravings.

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!

Can you please explain the difference between the body being in ketosis and being acidic, I understand that an acidic body is prone to disease as opposed to an alkaline state.
