This is crazy, I have the completely opposite effect. On keto + calorie restriction I feel much more alert and sharp.

- mac-mc 2y agoIt's because people are different, sometimes on a genetic level. What works well for one person does not work well at all for another, like the parent commenter, I do not work well without carbs. Keto puts me in a low-energy, semi-depressed state, while eating +80% of my calories as starch led me to lose about 15lbs of fat and now I'm the lowest body fat % I've ever been in my adult and teen life and my HOMA-IR went from 3 to 1.6!!!! And my genetics also showed this to be the case too!
