Two weeks of a low calorie or low carb diet made measurable changes in liver fat and brain/cognitive markers in participants.

Sometimes, help is just a few weeks away.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about low carb diets.

Not to be confused with NO carb diets.

The long and short of it is..... eat real food.

I’ll be the first to admit that I love sugary drinks, cookies, candy, etc., but the fact of the matter is that if you *completely* cut out all the crap for a month... you’ll likely feel a lot better, sleep a lot better, think a lot better, etc. etc.

If you’re a kid, you can get probably get away with eating junk without doing much damage.

If you’re middle-aged, you probably can’t. Folks sometimes point to Warren Buffett who’s 95 and guzzles a half-dozen Cherry Cokes per day, eats at McDonald’s and munches on See’s Candy (which he owns). But Warren is an outlier.

There is apparently no control arm to the study, so the results could be just the result of the patients knowing that they were being monitored, and not having the opportunity to overfeed. A control arm featuring a “normal” diet (neither low calorie nor lo carb) would probably have produced the same result.

I’ve been on a low-carb diet for years, with several days of fasting each week.

I don’t remember having any memory problems since I started.
