RE: Fuel Storage in the Body and Caloric Deficits - Keto Cut Day 14
There are some very interesting experiments going on right now with elite athletes who start a race already in ketosis rather than hitting "the wall" when the liver runs out of glcogen and the body transitions to ketosis while still trying to run a race.
Yeah there have been a lot of recent studies that have supported Ketosis in performance! The body has far larger fuel reserves stored as fat than as carbs so it would make sense to me that runners would have prolonged energy while following a ketogenic program. Do you have a link to the study you're referring to? I'd love to read up on it!
It was in a book I read: The Complete Guide to Fasting by Dr. Jason Fung. Here is an article I found: http://main.poliquingroup.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/2592/Fasting_for_Athletes_Dangerous_or_Good_Idea.aspx
Ahh yes, you mentioned that book, I still have it on my list and I’ll have to get it on iBooks ASAP! Thanks for the article as well!
You are welcome and thank you for the reply and upvote!
Anytime my friend! I plan on reading the book soon, I'll let you know what I think!
