Abstract in brief

  • This study compared the effects of a ketogenic diet (KD) and a traditional western diet (WD) on college-aged men doing resistance training, focusing on body composition, strength, hormones, and blood lipids over 11 weeks.
  • Both diets helped increase lean body mass and decrease fat mass, and participants’ strength and power improved equally in both groups, with no significant differences.
  • The ketogenic diet led to a significant increase in testosterone levels and did not negatively affect blood lipids, although reintroducing carbs caused a temporary rise in triglycerides; overall, KD can support body composition, performance, and hormonal health in resistance-trained men.]

Interesting that in this new study a 12 week ketogenic diet INCREASED testoserone in weight training males BUT they were only doing 3x/week workout...and not much MetCon...so don't run with this study to a Crossfit box please: https://t.co/ZQ3jde7b9P https://t.co/RUAzPlhuVx

Sin embargo, la cosa cambia cuando hablamos de trabajo de resistencia. La introducción de un protocolo de dieta keto de unas 8-10 semanas podría mejorar composición corporal, perfil hormonal y rendimiento en atletas entrenados.

@BiancaBellChamb @NickAtNight999 @MdBreathe @catturd2 5. Support for High-Intensity Workouts" I already addressed this a little above in the glycogen section. You might look into Ryan Lowery's work on this topic. He has several papers showing hypertrophy and strength gains on ketogenic diets Eg. https://t.co/Tlo49rXxZY I would https://t.co/8yQxYUUCxr

@TEDxNewcastle @skdh Most likely diet related. In the 1970's we started eating less fat and meat, and ate more carbs. So now everyone is fatter with more diabetes. This study shows that eating a ketogenic diet, with exercise, can increase testosterone. https://t.co/S5RWZpJ1k0

@Hadmut Einige Beispiele: Ketogenic diet plus resistance training increased testosterone compared to Western diet. https://t.co/tl03BnpuNf Sugar sweetened drink consumption is associated with low testosterone among American men age 20-39. https://t.co/Okt1oPC1JK

Algo parecido, y que fue capaz de validar esta hipótesis de las ganancias similares o superiores en el grupo Keto apareció en el trabajo de Wilson de 2017 https://t.co/0L0ecAeLnM Semanas de la 1-10. Resultado grupo keto ⬆️2.4% Masa Muscular Resultado grupo WD ⬆️4,4% Masa Muscular https://t.co/Yr8doXWsH2

@jfreedommoney @ROGUEWEALTH Temporarily. Once your body has adjusted to a ketogenic diet, levels rebound and exceed. Some of this is due to insulin resistance; which has an adverse effect on T production. Ketogenic diets decimate insulin resistance. https://t.co/kNV9LFbXSr
