Is the Keto Diet right for athletes? - Ep. #153

Inside Sports Nutrition

Bob and Dina discuss some highlights of a new review and position stand paper by the International Society of Sports Nutrition on ketogenic diets. Are you curious whether this is something you should try and whether it would help (or harm) you? Tune into this episode to get our inside scoop and Sports Dietitian viewpoints.

Our discussion includes:

• Ketogenic Diet vs. Low Carb High Fat Diet (LCHF) vs. Metabolic Efficiency Eating patterns
• Reasons to consider a ketogenic diet and not consider it, pros/cons
• How “athletic performance” is measured and the many contexts of defining it across athletes
• What future research may tell us
