“Starving now because I ate tons of carbs on Xmas. So.... hungry ....” I feel it too.
“saw a video on Netflix about keto where parents of severely autistic kids were transitioned off the standard american carb diet and onto keto. These were kids who were non-verbal, lethargic or violent. After a month or so, the two kids featured had much more level behavior and began speaking, responding to questions, things like that. Miraculous. But the brain loves ketones, it will survive on sugar but it LOVES ketones.”
There is another book “Brain maker” by a Dr. Pearlman, a Neurologist. He talks about the effect of our gut bacteria on brain health. He has a section on Autistic children (adn discusses dementia and alzheimers). Changing diet changes flora and results in positive changes in mental conditions.
