Here's some stuff I have learned about diet:
1. I lose weight when I add half-and-half or heavy cream to my coffee instead of the usual whole milk.
2. Eating cooked spinach (or other green leafies such as kale) at least every other day helps my ability to concentrate. Green beans are separately good, too.
3. My wife's eldest son is a newly minted doctor from a good school and prestigious residency program and told me that they had a whopping FOUR HOURS of nutrition education in med school. So, when I say doctors don't know sh*t about nutrition as disease prevention, it's straight from the horse's mouth. Of course, when you understand that the medical system is about treating disease, as opposed to preventing it, it makes perfect bassackwards 21st Century sense.
4. I don't know much at all about Ayurveda, but their concept that "everything we ingest is either a medicine or a poison" seems to have a fundamental truth to it. And, of course, dosage must be carefully considered, too.
All that said, that article was off-putting, to say the least. Dude's diet doesn't seem to be helping his mood, however else it is benefitting him.

That and you're probably running on ketone bodies when doing it, rather than sugar, which has different metabolic properties. 2. I love N=1 experiments. That said, I also like spinach. 3. Most terrible state of things, since bad nutrition makes everything worse, and then there are diseases which are heavily dependent on what you eat. 4. Were it so. It so happens that barely anything people usually eat as food has serious other effects, and when it does, it's low to very low effect size. They don't even exactly add up.
