I did not forget that. I am not going to risk brain fog for three months.
- ianbutler 4y agoOkay that’s personal preference but the long term trade off seems to heavily out weigh some brain fog for a few months. Talking years of improved health.
- Tepix 4y agoNot if brain fog is a symptom of brain injury.
- ianbutler 4y agoTemporary brain fog, which is what is said here, doesn't indicate brain injury to me. You can get brain fog from a large caloric deficit before your body adjusts to it, which this by design, will induce.
- mcculley 4y agoHave there been proven benefits beyond weight loss? I am responding to "I believe that everyone, even the skinny folks, should be on GLP1 drugs for the longevity effects" and assertions about "longevity markers". I am not interested in taking a drug to lose weight. I am interested in improving my overall health, but I am not yet convinced that I should take this drug. The symptoms could be a sign that something bad is happening to the body.
- ianbutler 4y agoIt could be, it also could be adjusting to large calorie deficits, electrolyte level changes and dehydration. I don't know, but I'd be fine gambling on it. You don't seem to be, which is also fine.
- novok 4y agoBrain fog also comes from eating 1000 calories a day for many until their body adjusts to a fat metabolism, much like keto flu. Also eating less makes your margin of error for bad micronutrient density significantly lower. You would need to tease out what is the medication and what comes from a low calorie diet in these patients by giving both groups (placebo vs medicated) the same diet and seeing the effects.
- Sparkyte 4y agoKeto you can eat your calories though because the process of ketosis requires more energy.
