Default Ketogenic Diet

I was surprised to see these medical studies suggesting that Ketogenic diet could be useful for recovery (They usually highlight post-incident but what do we know about the timing..).

Ketogenic Diet - Nutrition and Traumatic Brain Injury - NCBI Bookshelf

The collective therapeutic potential of cerebral ketone metabolism in traumatic brain injury. - PubMed - NCBI

I am surprised this had not been discussed more. Concussion reduces appetite, that we know, perhaps as a neuro-protective mechanism?

I also came across this reddit thread (praising keto for TBI):

any experiences?
