concur on a short term keto diet. I lost basically all my excess body fat. I struggled a little more with the brain fog, buy after doing it for about a month, I was able to get back into healthier habits. I wouldn't recommend it long term unless you have a medical condition that requires it. My nephew had seizures and he switched to ketogenic diet and his epilepsy calmed from multiple episodes a day to maybe one a day.

Wow. I also have a nephew with a seizure disorder who switched to a keto-like diet(!). Though, he's since changed medications and moved on to something else.
My experience is opposite yours. Mentally I'm much stronger when my brain runs on ketones than sugar.
