Nobody's really discussed in-depth the effects this diet (or OTH's, for that matter) has on one's cognitive competences -- probably because precious few here possess or utilize any. Can somebody that knows the square root of potato share with us how the diet effects (effected) their ability to think clearly and otherwise do mental work?
while i'm not like 100% strict on this diet, i haven't actually noticed becoming any stupider.
waiting until "unbearable hunger pangs", however, is the biggest part of this diet i don't follow. if i did that, i would probably be dead.
to summarize my experiences: waiting until brutal hunger pangs to eat = i become extremely stupid.
however, eating
1. 150g or so protein
2. 50g or so fat
3. a bag of vegetables (such as green beans, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
4. maybe around 1500 cals a day
5. a "cheat meal" of whatever i want every 4ish days
in a more regular fashion = i'm fine
(well, look up my posting history over the last month and judge for yourself how dumb i sound)
