Success stories of the keto diet for psoriasis are quite inspiring. One person might have had psoriasis all over their body, with constant itching and discomfort. But once they began the keto diet, they first noticed a change in the itchiness - it decreased. As time went on, the patches of psoriasis became smaller and less inflamed. This could be because the keto diet forces the body to burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. When this happens, ketones are produced, and these ketones may have anti - inflammatory properties that are beneficial for psoriasis sufferers. Also, the diet helps in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, which is also related to skin health.

Over time, he not only lost weight but also his cholesterol levels improved. He said that this diet made him more conscious of what he ate during the day, as he knew he had to get all his necessary nutrients in just two meals.
