Better sports performance while on keto?

If you’re looking for motivation about the keto diet and sports, keep reading!  As your body adapts to ketosis, you’ll be able to burn more stored fat to fuel your workouts.  During low intensity endurance exercises, athletes following a keto diet will burn more than twice as much fat as those sticking to a diet rich in carbs.  Here are some advantages of combining this HFLC diet with exercise:

  1. Fats produces more energy than carbs and is the most efficient fuel source for your body.  When exercising your energy levels become stabilized and you can exercise for longer.
  2. As your body switches to fat burning mode, glycogen reserves are not depleted, and are readily available to fuel your body for more intensive exercises.
  3. The anti-inflammatory properties of a keto diet will help you speed up your recovery time for sports injury.
  4. Keto friendly foods are very nutritious and satisfying, and they reduce your cravings for sugar and fast foods.
