Lots of mentions of brain fog as a by product of eating a processed food/carb heavy diet by those who favour a LCHF diet.
I never would have believed it until going on LCHF.
When I was in keto I definitely felt more alert.
Maybe ketones are better fuel for brains than carbs?

I think the brain prefers glycogen to anything but in it's absence ketones are produced/used. IANAD but I think that they a more steady form of fuel for the brain. Unlike glycogen/carbs you don't get that rise and fall of energy. That steady flow was one of the best things I found about being low carb/in ketosis.
