Brain Fog

[this_is_war87]

So, how long does this last? Will it last over two weeks? The reason for asking is afraid it'll interfear with my studies. I've read a couple different answers, but how long did it last for you?

About of week....I was just doing stupid stuff and forgetting alot...kind of walking around with the "duh" expression on my face..It will clear up. when? well, everyone is different. I don't think it will last for 2 weeks though..

Brain Fog, what is that and why would that happen?

[curly-top318]

it happens when the body starts to use ketones for energy..sometimes the process causes some mental fogginess until the body adapts to using this type of energy...it doesn't happen to everyone, but some unfortunately suffer from a case of the stupids....myself included

Brain Fog, what is that and why would that happen?

The brain, not necessarily the body curly-top, needs 25% glucose to fuel itself. When you're in the early stages of fat adaptation, the brain is getting used to the fact that you're only giving it the bare minimum of glucose to run and now it has to use ketones as well

trust me 3 years ago i did a diet some what like keto and i had brain fog for a month. I couldnt even remember where i lived or anything. The doctors didnt even know what to do. So glad it didnt last too long

I'm curious about Omega-3 counter acting the " brain fog", I haven't read that much about it. I'm not sure that there have been many studies done, but I remember seeing something about Omega-3 possibly helping with neuron to neuron bridge. I would think if you are supplementing with Flaks & Fish oil the " fog" should be at a minimum. If any one has any info on this it would be greatly appreciated.

I take fish oil and I've been in ketosis for about 6 days, don't feel brain fog too much except when I went to get a glass of water I put the water jug in the cabneit instead of the fridge when I was done with it.

I take omega 3's daily and I still had the fog...walking around looking for my sunglasses when they were on my head the whole time. looking for car keys and they were in my hand the whole time...ect ect
