Effects of Ketogenic and Non-Ketogenic Diets on Body Recomposition

This podcast episode explores the differences between ketogenic and non-ketogenic diets for body recomposition. Specifically, it discusses studies conducted on resistance-trained women following either a ketogenic or non-ketogenic diet. The results show that the ketogenic diet group experienced significant fat loss, while the high carb diet group gained some body fat. However, the ketogenic diet group appeared to lose lean body mass, which may be due to the low carb intake leading to water loss. It is suggested that a modified ketogenic diet with higher protein intake may be more effective for body recomposition.
