    I have a registered dietitian that I've consulted with for three years. The brain needs carbs. Complex carbs are best. You're going to experience some fatigue on only 50 carbs a day.

    Actually it's not carbs the brain requires, it's glucose. The body's preferred source to make glucose is carbs, but if it has to, it can make its own from amino acids (protein you eat or you hard earned muscle).

    That said, low carb diets don't work for me. Others do great and good for them.
