I read "How Not to Die" recently. By LCHF, are you referring to an "Atkins" diet of sorts? High meat/animal fats, vegetables, low carb, low fruit?

I'd be interested in any sources that support that diet for anything other than weight loss - I was under the impression it led to pretty poor health outcomes (apart from bmi/diabetes management)




I recommend taking a look at how ketosis, and the utilization of ketones as an energy source for the brain, affects cognition for more on potential benefits.


Low Carb, High Fat. Ketogenic.

There is lots of published info about it. Here’s a good starting point:
