Keto Diets Reduce Athletic Performance
Muscular Development

Keto Diets Reduce Athletic Performance

A ketogenic or “keto” diet is high in fat, low in protein and low in carbohydrate. The diet promotes the metabolic formation of ketone bodies by causing the body to use fat (rather than carbohydrate) as its main energy source. The ketogenic diet forces the body to burn body fat rather than protein and carbohydrate because of low protein and carbohydrate intake. The enhanced fatty acid oxidation in the liver into ketone bodies has been shown to suppress appetite and enhance weight loss. Interest in the ketogenic diet has grown for weight loss and type 2 diabetes (JAMA, January 16, 2018). A very low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diet causes the body to switch from burning carbohydrates to burning fat.
