3. Doesn’t the brain need dietary carbs?

No. On a strict low-carb diet the brain can be primarily fueled by fat — or technically, by ketones. When carb intake is very low, your liver converts body fat or fat from the food you’ve eaten into ketones, which can be used by the brain as fuel.

There is no need for carbohydrates in the diet; the brain functions fine without them.
