Since the 1960s it was thought that a high carbohydrate diet maintained physical performance and muscle glycogen by preventing muscle glycogen depletion induced fatigue.

I.E. You need carbs before the workout to give yourself energy, during the workout to not bonk, after the workout to recover from the exertion, and at any other time of the day as well because otherwise you’ll hit the wall and go into starvation mode. However, this can be misinterpreted and taken out of context.

Can you train hard on the ketogenic diet?How does ketosis affect performance?Will my muscles dissolve into a big chunk of wobbly jello if I don’t eat carbs after working out?This and many more in this episode of the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast.I'm your host Siim Land and we're going to delve into the science of ketogenic exercise performance.
