In an era where the rate of dementia is growing, Dr. Perlmutter says that you can generate new brain cells regardless of your age by fueling your body with fat and cholesterol rather than sugar and carbohydrates. However, he and Dr. Wahls emphasize that its critical to boost fat and limit carbs. Although some plant-based dieters follow low-carb food plans, Dr. Wahls questions whether a vegan plan can be used to achieve nutritional ketosis. She does feel that it can be helpful in such cases to use medium chain triglycerides (MCT) for this purpose. Nutritional ketosis requires high fat and limited carbohydrate. Using medium chain triglycerides (MCT) for the fat source allow for more intake of carbohydrates (up to 60 to 80 grams) as opposed to the 25 grams of carbohydrates needed for those who are using butter and cream as the fat source, she told me.
