Deep dives
Keto Diet and Muscle Building
The ketogenic diet may not be superior for fat loss or muscle gains compared to a mixed diet, as studies show varying results. Ketones can be protein sparing, but compared to a high-fiber diet, ketones may not offer the same level of satiety. High-intensity exercise performance could be impaired on a ketogenic diet, especially above 70% of VO2 max.
Insulin and Muscle Protein Synthesis
Insulin inhibits protein degradation and might have a protein-sparing effect. However, compared to a mixed diet with resistance training, some studies show no difference and some show better muscle gains with a mixed diet. Ketogenic diets do not show clear superiority for building muscle or athletic performance.
Carbohydrates and Fat Storage
Carbohydrates tend to be stored as glycogen or burned for energy. The Randall cycle states that as more carbohydrates are consumed, less fat is burned, leading to fat storage if in a calorie surplus. A diet high in carbohydrates without much fat may not store much fat but will require oxidation of carbohydrates.
