I've been on a ketogenic diet for a year now and sleep has been the biggest thing. I was a light, restless sleeper and I noticed very quickly how how much better my sleep got. I'd fall asleep quicker and it feels (and tracks) deeper. I don't wake as much, sweat nearly as much when I sleep and wake up feeling far more rested.
Sleep aside, I don't sweat nearly as much during the day and I've shaken almost most all the IBS related problems I had. Feels a bit like a miracle. Trouble is, I wish (much like the article) I could understand exactly what it was that I cut out that made the biggest difference. Bread? Alliums? Fructose?
I guess the only way would be to reintroduce things slowly and test, or revert back to a carb heavy diet and remove stuff one by one... But when you're (finally) feeling great you don't want to mess it up :-/
