How Does a Low Carb Diet Affect Cognitive Function? | Ketones are the byproducts of metabolized fatty acids found in many of the foods people eat when on a low carb diet plan, including avocados, almonds, eggs, and fish.  The brain responds to the drop in glucose by running up to 70% on ketone bodies. The brain runs much more efficiently on ketones than on glucose alone.

Good thing that a keto diet allows for things like cream cheese and bacon. After a brief hiatus (where did the past week go?) I’ve returned. Last weekend was a long weekend in Canada so I was out of service camping for most of my time off.

But instead I planned ahead and brought parsnip chips veggies and dip and avoided carbs for the most part go me huge accomplishment. So naturally once we were home and most of the temptations were gone… I ordered pizza and stuffed my face with McDonald’s and demolished half a Costco sized bag of munchies over the period of two days sigh The important thing is that I’m back. I gained 6 pounds since before camping but I’ve been really good with my eating a...
