This thread is for people interested in starting the keto diet and reporting their results. I've been digging into keto research for the past couple months and am hopeful that this could result in a boost to my quality of my life. Right now, most of the research for keto diet has been for epileptic seizures but it's also believed to be beneficial for people with alzheimers and TBI's.

Dom D'Agostino, who has a PhD in molecular pharmacology and physiology, is a leader in this field. Below is his website and his recent podcast on Joe Rogan(long and technical) but describes why being in ketosis is beneficial to people with brain injuries.

It would be amazing to get a large group of people with TBI on this diet and document the effects. It does take a few months for the body to adapt to using fat as its main fuel source and the first month is going to be a very hard transition.
