Everyone is different. I did many things. The Modified Atkins (basically what people mislabel as ketogenic) and that helped a lot because I was eating a max of 25 carbs a day. Also quit all stimulants (coffee, fruit, added sugar, caffeine). Carbs cause glucose spikes. Keto diets keep your glucose levels consistently low without fluctuation (as if you were fasting). This does not cause you to go near a hypoglycemic state. Book name & resources below. If you decide to do it don't half-ass it. Read the entire book. You have to stay strict for at least 8 weeks in the beginning or don't waste your time reading the book and resources below.
I started Onfi today and if that doesn't work I am going to do the PKD (Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet) from the Paleo Medicina research group out of Hungry as a last resort. It's Ketogenic with only animal meat and fat. Extreme. Supposed to be better than modified atkins.

Read this book, it’s great. It explains how each meal has to be the correct ratio of fat/protein/carbs. Seasoning has carbs. I have epilepsy and the information in this book is priceless.
