While this study leaves some outstanding questions, it does provide some much needed evidence of the effects of utilizing fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. There is, of course, still a place for the ketogenic diet and it shouldnt’t be ruled out, however, if elite athletic performance is the goal one should clearly weigh the potential effects vs its benefits.
