    And keep in mind that cutting ALL sugar out of your diet (which, luckily enough, isn’t that easy to do) will starve your brain and make you feel increasingly stupid. It’s only after my last week-long fast that I’ve read that our brains can’t really work on glycogen (ketosis-produced “sugar”).

      Sounds about right. I lost about a pound a day doing keto but I felt pretty foggy, lazy, and constantly hungry the whole time.
