Has anyone had success with symptom management on a keto diet?

Posted by penny27 @penny27, 2 days ago

Have been on a keto diet in the past (before I developed long Covid .. 15 months ago) .. I have read several articles that suggest that it may help with managing my symptoms of fatigue, brain fog and joint and muscle pain. Last week I decided to give it a try again. Is there anyone who has benefited from being on a keto diet and how long were you on it ??

This doctor has many YouTube videos that I have found helpful. He addresses the Keto diet and many other things I found helpful. I am continuing to browse through his videos. Please keep us posted about the diet and if you find it helpful. I know that sugar and salt affect how I feel the next morning.

I have tried to get into ketosis and could not do it. I used to be on the diet all of the time prior to COVID and loved it but since having Long COVID, I am not able to fast to enter ketosis or eliminate carbs long enough. I have very low energy and it drops too low during the days without carbs for me to function at all. I am able to eat lower carbs (especially sugar) and that does help minimize the pain from all of the hyper inflammation.
