It is amazing that an obscure researcher writes about mice, memory and longevity in an obscure Cell Metabolism journal, yet it ends up a story about celebrity weight loss. Three years ago the study would have been ignored. |

Despite what Kevin Hall will say about being able to sustain a LC approach . . . . . I'm not a celebrity fan in the least, but if this is what it takes to make people take notice and start them down the path to good health, then I'm all for it. |
Haven't read this one yet--but one thing that pops out, mice that have gained a bit of fat one week on a more fattening diet (which includes a ketogenic diet, for these mice, and this diet) will under-eat low fat chow for a while, so this is an intermittent calorie restriction study as well as an intermittent ketogenic diet study.

One thing Taubes wrote about in GCBC is food texture's effect on food intake by rodents. Hard, low fat pellets are less pleasant, can make the animal's mouths sore, adding more water or fat makes for a more pleasant eating experience. Sort of a flip-side for hedonic eating. Are they eating more fatty chow because it's more pleasing? Or less low fat chow because it's particularly unpleasant, only worth eating past a certain point out of necessity? Also says Crisco changed their formula on them mid-study, shorter chain fats, so the fatty diets got mushier, they subbed some cocoa butter out for Crisco to get the right consistency. But did nothing towards matching consistency between the control diet and the fatty diets. |

I don't think it's so much that they're celebrities, it's simply the results that they've gotten. I'm far from a celebrity and when I lost my first 40 pounds nobody seemed to notice. Then, one day, a light switch seemed to go on (I apparently accumulated enough fat loss), and ever since people have been falling all over themselves to ask me what I've been doing. I remember being at a family party at the beginning of this summer and for the first time in my life I was sick of talking about how low carb had changed my life. And then at the next family party folks were eager to report back to me their own little experiment of life without sugar and/or bread. |
Also interesting that the every other week ketogenic diet shows higher ketones than the steady-state ketogenic diet. Since the full ketogenic diet mice gained weight vs. controls but the intermittent mice didn't, maybe the every other weekers were more insulin sensitive, and that explains the difference in ketones.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews researcher Dr. Eric Verdin:
"The most remarkable thing we saw is that these older mice on the ketogenic diet showed actually better memory than younger mice, and we did not see the loss of memory function that one would normally see associated with the aging process." https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/eric-verdin |
