AI synopsis

What people are saying

The overall tone reflects a cautious interest, with several discussions citing specific findings, such as fat loss without muscle gain, and referencing studies like Vargas et al. (2018). Words like 'interesting results' and 'may impair lean mass' show tentative engagement, while references to the diet's effects on body composition suggest moderate impact on opinions about ketogenic diets in resistance training.

AgreementLow agreement

Most discussions recognize the study's findings that ketogenic diets can reduce fat but may impair muscle gains, indicating moderate skepticism or disagreement about its benefits for muscle building.

InterestModerate interest

Many posts show curiosity about the diet's effectiveness and implications, reflected in phrases like 'interesting results' and references to comparing keto with other diets.

EngagementModerate engagement

Posts often cite specific data, such as fat loss and lean mass impacts, and reference related studies, indicating a moderate level of detailed engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussion signifies some influence on perceptions of keto's role in fitness and health, especially in body composition and muscle development contexts, though not overwhelmingly transformative.

Abstract in brief

  • The KD group maintained their total body weight and muscle mass, showing that fat loss did not come at the expense of muscle loss.
  • Participants adhering to the ketogenic diet successfully achieved ketosis, as confirmed by urinary ketone measurements, supporting the diet's effectiveness in inducing fat loss during resistance training.

And when it comes to body composition, while the KD is as good as non-KD for fat loss when kcal/pro are equated, it appears to impair lean mass & strength accrual in resistance trained men & women: https://t.co/6jCOJtNqTD https://t.co/3h25TDOUvm https://t.co/mmiSFhzSKu

(3/21) Vargas et al (2018): Compared to a control group, subjects on a ketogenic diet lost more fat but gained less lean mass over the course of a resistance training program. https://t.co/EURDYIusBK

@nicknorwitz @ZackStrength @Cooking_it_Keto @ThomasDeLauer @SBakerMD “a KD might be an alternative dietary approach to decrease fat mass and visceral adipose tissue without decreasing lean body mass; however, it might not be useful to increase muscle mass during positive energy balance in men undergoing RT for 8 weeks.” https://t.co/gtsaYBnOna

@ScepticalDoctor @dottbasta86 @NanciGuestRDPhD This is one of the few hypercaloric keto studies. They lost body fat and most importantly, visceral fat too. If anything it indicates that carbs (including sugar) are necessary for diabetes development. https://t.co/qbiDbjGobz

I appreciate you sharing this study. It has some interesting results on the surface, but it's limiting that the diets were uncontrolled and there wasn't even an assessment of what the participants were eating. /2 https://t.co/QV546B4yrn

@AlexJLeaf @KetoPortuguese @100lbsin50years @bcorkey You & others think it's possible but sometimes things don't turn out as expected when the experiment is done. That's why I'm interested in evidence- even an anecdote of De Novo T2DM absent carbs. If anything VAT & fat mass decreases with keto overfeeding. https://t.co/68rtOKOARp

@kevinnbass @TavisPiattoly This may be what he’s referring to. KD group lost fat mass and VAT, but did not gain LBM, whereas Non-KD group gained LBM. https://t.co/wn0KNLnNQQ
