diet — with a staggering 70 - 90 percent of total calories coming from

diet intended to generate a
high amount of ketones and limit glucose as much as possible.46 As therapy for AD, however, simply lowering
carbohydrate intake to a point where some ketones are generated and hyperinsulinemia is corrected could have positive effects just by easing the metabolic burden
on the brain.

fat and to base our
diet on carbohydrates (healthy whole grains, etc.) Reducing body weight
