>Many people report a significant mental health benefit from using fat rather than carbohydrates as the primary energy source. Works for me, too.
This is anecdotal, but I recently had blood work done showing that I have high A1C[0] levels. As such, I cut out most carbohydrates and sugar from my diet.
I've been maintaining this for almost three months and I have noticed no difference in my mental well being.
That said, I have spoken with a number of folks who claimed that not eating meat or carbs has made them feel better.
I don't have data to back it up, but I suspect it's more a result of the placebo effect than anything else.
