Should I be fasting? What about trying the keto diet?

Anecdotal evidence suggests both of these new diets may be of some benefit to mental health—and there are a few studies that support the idea. Many animal studies have now looked at intermittent fasting, or restricting food for sixteen hours each day, and discovered it can help protect the brain from a variety of stressors ranging from oxidative stress to stroke. Similarly, ketogenic diets, with their high-protein/high-fat regimen, encourage the body to burn fats instead of carbohydrates, which can also help optimize brain function. While both are gaining popularity across the country—and I’ve had a few patients who’ve found success with them—the human studies have been quite limited in both scope and time. The data really isn’t there yet.
