Atkins Diet is it normal to have joint pain while on the Atkins diet?

After a few months on Atkins, I noticed stiff and painful elbow, wrist and knee pain. I continued to adhere to strict no carbohydrate diet and by the end of the year, it felt as if I was walking on broken glass. Finally, I stopped the diet and soon after the pain began to diminish until it was gone. I thought it might be a coincidence and so I went back on the Atkins diet and the joint pain came back immediately. Again, I went off the diet and began a moderate carb diet with very low caloric intake. That was two years ago. Recently, I decided to give the diet another chance. The first three weeks were fine and I started to lose weight quickly. The fourth week which began three days ago, I began to experience terrible joint pain again. I have not been able to run my usual 3 - 4 miles daily for three days. Im off the diet for good. This morning, I bought fresh organic produce and grains. While searching through the internet about this issue, I found information stating that no carbs elevates uric acid in the blood creating crystals in our joints which is gout and gout creates terrible joint pain.

Bad things about the chocolate diet?

The bad things about the chocolate diet would depend on what diet exactly this is. I read about a chocolate diet plan consisting of drinking coffee and pieces pf chocolate. That of course can't be good for you in the long run ! But chocolate is made of cocoa and cocoa is really healthy. Cocoa can help you lose weight. You need dark chocolate with the best cocoa and the highest amount of cocoa.
