When you move from using glucose to fuel your brain to ketones, which are the biologically preferred method, you have a shake-out period of a couple of weeks. After all most of us need to detoxify from an actual addiction to sugar. And in fact there is good evidence that you have a more global, broader perception with a low carb diet.

Add to that that many of us have gluten sensitivity, which disappears with a low carb diet, and there is much better cognitive ability.

m is correct that a longer study would have had different results.

And isn't it curious that a high carb diet is considered "balanced" when for most of human history we ate a low carbohydrate paleolithic diet with only a few nibbles of the indigenous grass heads in season.
