ImpactNeutral impact

While the conversations acknowledge the findings, they do not seem to dramatically influence broader perceptions or policies.

Abstract in brief

  • This study found that overweight adults on ketogenic diets experienced higher blood ketone levels, which were linked to increased fatigue and perceived effort during exercise.
  • Both ketogenic and nonketogenic low-carb diets didn't significantly differ in weight or fat loss over the two weeks, but the ketogenic group reported feeling more tired and less inclined to exercise.
  • The findings suggest that ketogenic diets may make exercise feel harder and reduce motivation due to increased fatigue, potentially affecting physical activity levels in people trying to lose weight.]

@nutrition_facts "Blood ketones are directly related to fatigue and perceived effort during exercise in overweight adults adhering to low-carbohydrate diets for weight loss" It takes 6 weeks to become fat adapted. Widely known fact. 2 week studies aren't worth the paper they're written on.

@HnybadgersHub @VegetariDan_ Zero data? They’re both clinical trials tested on humans. https://t.co/4RF4MPyIWL https://t.co/uaX27JzFV5 Paul Saladino himself came out to say carnivore didn’t work for him because of low energy.
