Keto Diet and Athletic Performance

Athletes on the keto diet may experience changes in performance. Initially, there may be a decline in high-intensity performance as the body adapts to using fat for fuel. However, endurance can improve over time. Ensuring adequate protein intake, staying hydrated, and considering targeted carb intake around workouts can support athletic performance. Monitoring and adjusting training intensity during the adaptation phase can help optimize results. Consulting a sports nutritionist can provide tailored advice.
