High Carb, Low Fat, Alzheimer’s Disease Study — My Nutrition Tips

Here’s another study, the third in 10 Nutrition Studies Everyone Should Read, that I’m reviewing and sharing with you. 

If you read it, I’d love to know your thoughts on it — post below.

The study links high-carb, low-fat diets to Alzheimer’s, suggesting they impair brain function by disrupting cholesterol balance and fueling neurodegeneration.

From all of my books and research, you’ll know that my take is that we need to be eating lots of healthy proteins, fat — animal sourced. We are carnivores and need to get off the high-carb, low-nutrient diets we’re told to eat.

Here’s a Quick summary of the study … 

The study titled “Nutrition and Alzheimer’s disease: The detrimental role of a high carbohydrate diet” by Stephanie Seneff and colleagues investigates how diets high in carbohydrates, especially fructose, and low in fats and cholesterol may contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. It suggests that such dietary patterns can lead to cholesterol deficiency in neurons, impairing their function and potentially initiating a cascade of detrimental effects culminating in neurodegeneration.

It points to eating animal fats. 

From the study …

“A ketogenic diet has been found to be therapeutic in AD patients. It involves an extremely high-fat diet, with up to 88% of calories derived from fats.” MIT CSAIL

This suggests that increasing dietary fat intake, potentially including animal fats, may have beneficial effects in the management or prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.

A carnivore diet is a form of a ketogenic diet and I think it is better than various ketogenic approaches. But, both get rid of junkie carbs, so I think that has a lot to do with problems in the brain — Alzheimer’s.

My hair grew back when I started back on animal protein and Fat

I remember pulling fistfuls of hair out of my head in the shower. It terrified me. I felt like I was falling apart—and I didn’t know why. I actually thought that I might be dying.

But once I started eating nutrient-dense animal protein and fat, the shedding slowed. Then it actually reversed. My hair started growing back. 

Yes, it sounds crazy. You had to be there. This is no joke.

I was miserable on the salad diet — Now I’m back and built my own house.

There was a time when Ben and I only ate salads, thinking I was doing the right thing. We limited animal foods and definitely did everything we could to avoid fatty, red meat. I thought I was being “healthy.” 

But I was constantly cold, moody, and starving. I wasn’t thriving—I was barely functioning. 

Everything changed when I started giving my body real food and real fuel, including animal fat. I felt alive again.

Don’t restrict what your body needs.

I don’t have Alzehiemer’s, but I know my mood, mind, and well-being are stable, joyful, and resilient. 

My ability to take on life is back. I’m out of the darkness of over 10 years ago. It’s a difference of night and day. Did you get a chance to read over the study? If so, what did you think?
