Is keto for athletes? Is a ketogenic diet for athletes? Does keto jive with high-powerered performance? Can your body maintain a high level of low carb performance, or does your body prefer carbs as its fuel source?
After having already covered some ketogenic diet basics (where we laid out a simple foundation for keto) and keto diet pros and cons (where we actually learned that keto is NOT superior to non-keto for fat loss - in that it is not a ‘magic’ diet that leads to accelerated fat loss), here we cover the performance angle: keto and exercise, keto and weight lifting, basically just keto and bodybuilding.
To get to the bottom of this question, much like we laid out the relationship between ketones and ketosis in that ketogenic diet basics video, we start with a simple answer to the question, “how does your body use carbs?” Basically, the body turns carbohydrates into glucose, and glucose into glycogen, to utilize those carbs as energy. From there we learn that keto might have some merit for endurance, but appears to fall short with higher intensity training.
