During my faste days, wherein my caloric intake drops down to the two-hundreds I have experienced significant improvements in cognition. Specifically my awareness of my surroundings, ability to concentrate for long periods of time and short term memory recall improved noticeably.

The first time it happened to me during one of my faste days it felt as though I had taken a powerful stimulant.

I've never tried keto, but I also get a lot of mental clarity and alertness after extended periods of not eating. It doesn't seem to make a lot of evolutionary sense.
