Intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating can be complements to a ketogenic diet. Together with a ketogenic diet, they may boost the ease of inducing metabolic switching – the capacity to shift from metabolizing glucose to metabolizing fatty acids. Dr. D'Agostino asserts that a low carbohydrate diet incorporating intermittent fasting probably has more benefits than chronic ketosis for most healthy adults. Drs. D'Agostino and Patrick describe their experiences with fasting or time-restricted eating and its calming effects on the brain. In fact, preclinical studies have shown that ketones increase the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, a chemical which has a calming effect on the brain. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino describes strategies to incorporate other fasting modalities into a ketogenic lifestyle diet.
