  1. So, I would warmly recommend that you purchase the books by Drs. Volek and Phinney - it is going to be one of the best investment that you have ever made, I'm sure. Good luck!

    I'm grateful for your advice Violetta. At the moment I'm reading 'Primal body; primal mind from N. Gedgauras. The books you suggested will be the next ones to finosh. Seems though as I understand the theory but have difficulties with practice.
    Congratulations with your physical performance!
    Thanks again for sharing your experience! Hope to get there once!
  3. Metabolic syndrome' in the brain: deficiency in omega-3 fatty acid exacerbates dysfunctions in insulin receptor signalling and cognition this link goes to the free full text of the paper.
    Here are the key Points.
    • We provide novel evidence for the effects of metabolic dysfunctions on brain function using the rat model of metabolic syndrome induced by high fructose intake.
    • We describe that the deleterious consequences of unhealthy dietary habits can be partially counteracted by dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acid.
    • High sugar consumption impaired cognitive abilities and disrupted insulin signalling by engaging molecules associated with energy metabolism and synaptic plasticity; in turn, the presence of docosahexaenoic acid, an n-3 fatty acid, restored metabolic homeostasis.
    • These findings expand the concept of metabolic syndrome affecting the brain and provide the mechanistic evidence of how dietary habits can interact to regulate brain functions, which can further alter lifelong susceptibility to the metabolic disorders.
    I hope you make the effort to read the full text but for those who don't enjoy full text papers here is a Science Daily article This Is Your Brain On Sugar: Study in Rats Shows High-Fructose Diet Sabotages Learning, Memory based on it.
