Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review and meta-analysis examined how ketogenic diets (KDs), combined with resistance training (RT), affect body composition, finding that KDs significantly reduce body mass, fat mass, body fat percentage, and BMI compared to non-KDs.
  • The analysis included 13 randomized controlled trials with 244 participants, revealing that KDs have a positive impact on weight and fat reduction but may negatively affect fat-free mass (FFM).
  • Despite the benefits on body weight and fat, adherence to ketogenic diets might lead to a decrease in FFM that resistance training alone does not seem to counteract.]

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

#keto diet + resistance training systematic review. Compared to non-keto diets, #keto results in more #weight loss and #fat loss, but lower #muscle mass, too. Depending upon your goals, you might want to "cycle" diets if you want to gain muscle. https://t.co/lV12BejNxi

We observed beneficial effects of KDs compared to non-KDs on BM and body fat (both FM and BFP) in individuals performing RT. However, adherence to KDs may have a negative effect on FFM, which is not ameliorated by the addition of RT. https://t.co/iVrMQD9sXp https://t.co/a9htWJnZZn
