Keto Diets: Muscle Growth & Bone Density

Ketogenic diets found to undermine exercise efforts and lead to muscle shrinkage and bone loss.

Correction:
2:48 - The graph is incorrectly titled as Mean Changes in Serum apoA-1. It should be Mean Changes in Triglyceride Concentrations.

The video I mentioned is The Weight Loss Program that Got Better with Time.

This was the 6th video in a 7-part series on keto diets. If you missed any of the previous videos, see:

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!

I think I'm going to change the notification sound on my phone to Dr. Greger's

On the 3 study you showed:

Body weight had an statistical significant increase only in the non ketogenic (20/25/55) diet group of ~1kg
Fat mass had an statistically significant decrease only in the ketogenic (20/10/70) diet group of ~1kg
Lean body mass only had an statistically significant increase in the ketogenic diet group of ~1.5 kg

You showed the study title and a few slides and only mentioned the negative results from ketosis not the positives

[FrankValchiria]

some one should suggest this videos to joe rogan :). i wish dr Greger would be invited on his podcast

[sooooooooDark]

i choose veganism over meth for weightloss
but the decision wasnt easy

[slimshadys]

1:30 in and it's already dropping bombs on keto

[LevelUpWellness]

Dr. Greger dropping some serious truth bombs on keto bros in this series. WFPB for the win! 🙏🏼🥦🍌

Funny how a kid dies on keto and you'll never hear a word of it. If a vegan child died it be all over the news and parents would be going to jail 🙄

"lightening the load for your pallbearers" -- great close! :)

I’ve been doing Keto and carnivore for two years and I have lost a lot of weight and improved my strength and fitness by a huge amount. I am 43 years old and feeling like I’m 25 again, not just physically but mentally and emotionally feeling amazing. The Keto way of living has changed my life.

When I went on the Atkins diet years ago I threw up blood and had to go off it. But when I went on Dr Ornish diet after I saw him on Ted talks, I lost 100 pounds, and my doctor said I no longer had a cholesterol or blood sugar problem. SO for me at least, plant based is the way to go. I had gotten off track for a bit and so went vegetarian for 2 months and then vegan for 1 month and my cholesterol went down 79 points. So I know plant based is best for me !

1:41 I don't understand what you are trying to say about the red part (KD).

If no significant increase was found (p>0.05) for n=9, can you just state that KD does not increase weight/muscle mass in a significant way (p<0.05) for the general population?
If yes, how would one describe a insignificant increase due to low sample size?

September 16, 2019... The Game Changers Theatrical Release... + Dr. Greger drops this video... Coincidence?

"The goal of weight loss is not to lighten the load for your pallbearer." --Dr. Greger
Definitely adding that to my quote collection.

My friends niece is 20. She had 40 seizures every day due to Arcardi syndrome. Within one month of cbd oil she was down to one per day.

On the plus side, a high-fat diet causes impotence.

I attended one of your meetings a number of years ago. I would simply like to take a moment to say, thank you for your contributions to healthy living. This by education and example! Thank you sir!!!

Dubious Synopsis. 1. the mentioned CRP rise was negligable 2. The more important Interleukin 6 value was lowered.
Since I train 6 times a week for a Triathlon, I cannot with certainty asure you about muscle gain. Also my Motivation might be higher as usual. I dont eat a lot of animal fat besides fish. In my experience a slightly adjusted Ketogenic diet, with small intakes of carbs during Cardio Sessions has had no adverse effects.

i'm curious if the probable loss of glycogen in the muscles could have any influence on the "lean body mass" loss

Low carb diets are gaining popularity because people feel much better when they aren't bloated, constipated, and suffering from excessive gas all the time. When you ditch the grains, beans, processed foods and calorie dense carbs and eat meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds instead you feel better.
