I've been on a keto diet for nearly 2 years with only a handfull of cheat days. The rumored "mental clarity" never came. It seems to help greatly with migraine though (which is why I've been able to stick to it for so long ... I get a lot of migraines).
My cholesterol went up quite a bit while on it, but is still within the target range for the statin, so we haven't changed dose.
My doc is fine with me experimenting with the diet. I've lost quite a bit of weight doing it and it seems to be reducing the frequency of migraines. His only comment was if the cholesterol keeps going up he would recommend a higher dose of simvastatin.
