Jamie, I don't see how you can say what the muscles and the brain "prefer" or what the brain "does not like." If people have tried low-carb diets and seen benefits (physical or mental), it would be a direct refutation of that theory. Maybe for some, a high-carb diet is best. For others, low-carb is better.
Many doctors have noted that their patients improved on low carb diets, like Wolfgang Lutz, Michael and Mary Eades, Jan Kwasniewski, Robert Atkins, etc. Lutz claims to have treated many digestive problems, like the kind HSWC describes, by using a high-fat, low-carbohydrate (72 grams) diet.
Dr. Richard Veech has said the brain runs better on ketones and that they reduce the production of free radicals. He calls ketones "magic" and says the heart and brain operate more efficiently on ketones than glucose. The brain runs on what it is given, and there are redundant energy systems.
