Key Points

Patients with major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia improved substantially on a ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet was found to be safe, well tolerated by most patients, and feasible to administer in a hospital setting.

Body weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, triglycerides, and liver enzymes improved considerably on a ketogenic diet.

Sixty-four percent of patients were discharged from the hospital on less psychiatric medication.

Ah, so the Ketogenic Diet helps me be more mentally ill. Cool.

[Chickensoup]

[Red Badger]

Makes sense. The brain is mostly FAT............................

[BusterDog]

Serious mental illness improves on any diet, I’m sure.

As to whether seriously mentally ill people are drawn to the Ketogenic diet, I’m not sure. Could be.

[Red Badger]

No, no, no..... The ketogenic diet will make you healthier while your brain deteriorates......................

[McGavin999]

Great, now all we have to do is put all the homeless people on keto.

Will someone please get this information to Gavin Newsome?

eat good fats- especially butter and coconut oil.

do not use commercial vegetable oils

Meat and eggs and fruits and veggies and cheeses. NOTHING ELSE

Do this religiously (no WHEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) for one month and you’ll be amazed at the results.

Also jello- if you are starting to get joint pain.

[McGavin999]

I know but if he puts all the homeless on ketogenic diets it would help him.........not to mention how much fun we would have watching.

[Jeff Chandler]

Are you calling me a “fathead”?

[Jim W N]

I know, I was just kidding. Serious Mental Illness Improves on Ketogenic Diet

Keto diet was first used in the early 20th century as an epilepsy treatment, so not surprised.
