What can low-carb (ketosis) do for you?
I was re-reading a lot of Peter Attia's research and I cam across this "simple" explanation of what being in ketosis can do for you. It's worth keeping in mind because I know there's a lot of back and forth as to whether or not ketosis can or should help CrossFit athletes. So here's what he says:
I'd like to note that he says "probably." Here's the full article if anyone's interested (wfs): http://eatingacademy.com/nutrition/k...-state-part-ii |

So if you want to get strong and jacked, ketosis probably isn't a good way to go? That's my take away.

Re: What can low-carb (ketosis) do for you?
Go to PubMed and search for low-glycogen training. Here is one sample:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/000473.htm "Recent studies suggest that carbohydrate restriction can improve the training-induced adaptation of muscle oxidative capacity. However, the importance of low muscle glycogen on the molecular signaling of mitochondrial biogenesis remains unclear. Here, we compare the effects of exercise with low (LG) and normal (NG) glycogen on different molecular factors involved in the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis." ... We conclude that exercise with low glycogen levels amplifies the expression of the major genetic marker for mitochondrial biogenesis in highly trained cyclists. The results suggest that low glycogen exercise may be beneficial for improving muscle oxidative capacity. |

I'm not sure the point you're trying to make here, other than it seems to be more evidence for ketosis enhancing aerobic capacity and not power or strength. Then again, are we even sure that carb restriction leads to low muscle glycogen? Your body can use protein for neoglucogenesis, and it can convert glycerol from fat into glucose, so I don't see why this would be the case. |

But "good" carbs, something like SuperStarch might be a good idea. |

what ketosis can't do is make me forget how much i love pizza, gumbo, pie, and pasta.

Do you know how one can roughly calculate how much carbs are needed to replenish glycogen back to 100% ? |

Re: What can low-carb (ketosis) do for you?
This is an interesting article, unfortunately it seems to only be based on endurance athletes.
