18. Carbs and Sports Performance: The Evidence

Lesson 18 of Masterclass With Masterjohn: The Antioxidant System

Can fat fuel intensity in a competitive athlete? This lesson takes a critical look at the commonly cited evidence in favor of a neutral or beneficial effect of low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diets on sports performance, as well as key pieces of conflicting evidence.
