I also get a lot of mental clarity and alertness after extended periods of not eating, followed by tiredness and fogginess after a meal. This might be one reason why I'm underweight.
Unfortunately, a keto diet isn't really an option for me (vegetarian, and allergic to many vegetarian protein sources).
I wonder what the underlying science behind it is.
- serg_chernata 10y agoScience behind keto? This article explains it pretty well.
- rudolf0 10y agoNo, the science behind feeling mental clarity after extended fasting. Unfortunately, everything I could think to Google just returned a bunch of grandiose pseudoscience.
- serg_chernata 10y agoYeah I'm not a scientist either but I would equate this to the opposite of feeling sleepy after a big dish of pasta. Food does have a certain effect on the body especially if it's full of carbs. What I get out of fasting and keto is the opposite.
