Is the Keto Diet right for athletes? - Ep. #153
Episode description
Bob and Dina discuss some highlights of a new review and position stand paper by the International Society of Sports Nutrition on ketogenic diets.

Our discussion includes:
- Ketogenic Diet vs. Low Carb High Fat Diet (LCHF) vs. Metabolic Efficiency Eating patterns
- Reasons to consider a ketogenic diet and not consider it, pros/cons
- How “athletic performance” is measured and the many contexts of defining it across athletes
- What future research may tell us
