The brain gets glucose on Atkins. Amino-acids can be broken down into
glucose, and that's enough to power the brain. If there are not enough
proteins in the diet, the body will break down it's own proteins to fuel the
brain anyway. People on Atkins do not see their blood glucose dropping to 0,
so they are obviously getting their glucose from another source than
carbohydrates (though it's hard to eat 0 carbs anyway). If their glycemia
dropped to 0, they would be dead. The brain cannot sustain itself 100% from
ketosis, it still has a basic need for glucose.
