Does fasting and depriving your brain of nutrients like calcium, magnesium etc. impair your cognitive abilities?

• chriselles 6y ago
  I’ve been on a disciplined ketogenic diet for 3 years now. I had put on weight due to a few persistent training injuries. I lost 22kg fairly quickly combined with a return to durability/longevity focused fitness. Anecdotally, I actually feel my cognitive ability has improved. I feel sharper and able to focus better/longer and have been published far more after than prior. However, I have to admit that I need to stay quite well hydrated or else I start feeling slower/foggier, I reckon it could be both diet and age related. I feel like I am fastest/sharpest in the morning prior to a late lunch when my eating window opens. I do eat breakfast on weekends and have the occasional cheat meal approx once per month. Just my anecdotal experience.

  Where did he write that he deprives his brain of nutrients like calcium or magnesium?
