Message: <blockquote data-quote="GraceK" data-source="post: 364889" data-attributes="member: 47233">I agree.  My brain works much better now I'm on LCHF and avoiding what I call 'direct sugars'.  I'm not a saint so I do have the odd cream doughnut and yesterday at work, for a change, I had one of those instant coffee sachets that includes the milk and didn't notice that it also included sugar.  About an hour after drinking it I suddenly started feeling hungry (which rarely happens to me), my brain felt like I had a hangover and I wanted to go to sleep at 3pm.  No such luck though, I don't finish work until 5pm! I very rarely eat butter now because I don't eat bread and I don't use oil at all in cooking because I buy fatty meats like rib-eye, braising steak, bacon WITH the fat left on and I have single cream every day, so I get my fats that way and I must admit I enjoy my so called 'fatty foods' and so does my digestion.  As soon as I eat bread or cakes, or other carbs my tummy immediately starts gurgling and grumbling as if it's trying hard to cope with them.  With protein and fat my tummy doesn't protest.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
