An interesting article regarding ketogenic diets (low carb, high fat) and athletic performance reshared from the ever resourceful Thinking Nutrition :) Heres a little excerpt, ive attached the full article in the comments :) The performance benefits, although found to be statistically significant, are small enough that they are unlikely to make a difference to all those but the most elite athletes and do not apply to high-intensity exercise. Red flags should also be going up because the maximum duration of any of the studies was 4 weeks and the maximum number of participants was 10 – in our books that means more research is needed. Given the “playing-with-fire” nature of these diets we wouldn’t recommend them for the average athlete, unless they are being closely monitored by a health professional.
