Mental clarity is a challenge when fasting on an otherwise stereotypical American diet... those blood glucose swings are no joke.

However I have no problems on keto, or even just a consistently low-GI low-carb diet. If anything, fasting seems to improve my discipline and "depth-first" thinking.

Interesting. I did an "animal-product only" diet for about six months, and I began to feel sorry for everyone else and their inability to think deeply. I was in an almost constant state of enlightenment. Then my buds convinced me to go on a 2000 mile road trip, and after the first stop at Wendy's I lost it, and haven't had the will to go back. It's been like 4 years now.

Can you elaborate on what you ate? Curious.

animal-product only ? No veggies?

Correct. I even ate organ meats as a source of vitamins and minerals I thought I lacked.

“KetoAF” for a search term.
