Discussion of a Ketogenic Diet for an Athlete
I am curious about the effectiveness of the a ketogenic or Atkin's style diet, or a diet very similar, for an athlete. Obviously the lack of carbs causes the body to use stored muscle glycogen, bodyfat, and fat eaten as fuel for energy. But is there anything negative about this?
I feel like lately more and more in the media you read about athletes surprisingly doing well eating Atkin's style.
Any opinions?Stats!
