Episode notes

INSIGHT

Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss

Keto and low-carb diets effectively improve body composition and metabolic health by reducing fat mass.
Focus on fat loss and muscle retention rather than just weight loss on the scale.

INSIGHT

How Keto/Low-Carb Diets Work

Keto and low-carb diets may improve body composition by increasing fat oxidation and reducing insulin levels.
Increased protein intake helps preserve muscle, and ketones suppress appetite.

ADVICE

Keto/Low-Carb Diet Tips

Prioritize protein intake to preserve lean muscle while on a keto or low-carb diet.
Include electrolytes to avoid muscle cramping and track carb intake consistently for optimal results.

In this episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast, we dive into two fascinating new studies that explore how diet, supplementation, and exercise impact biological aging and body composition.

📌 Study 1: How omega-3s, vitamin D, and exercise work together to slow down biological aging—and why the combination may be more powerful than any of these interventions alone.

📌 Study 2: A systematic review and meta-analysis on ketogenic and low-carb diets, breaking down their impact on body weight, BMI, and fat mass.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✅ A new study shows how combining omega-3s with vitamin D and exercise may have a major impact on biological aging.

✅ A deeper look at why omega-3s are crucial for longevity and how I personally get mine from marine algae, like ENERGYbits®, a plant-based source of ALA, EPA, and DHA.

✅ What the latest ketogenic diet research tells us about fat loss and body composition—and what it didn’t show.

✅ Why stacking multiple lifestyle interventions together may be the key to long-term health and longevity.
