Brief Summary

The aim of this paper was to investigate and compare the effects of two iso-energetic hypo-caloric ketogenic hyper-ketonemic and non-ketogenic low carbohydrate high fat high cholesterol diets on body-composition, muscle strength and hormonal profile in experienced resistance-trained middle-aged men. Twenty non-competitive experienced resistance-trained middle-aged men were on the supervised calorie maintenance western diet and resistance-training regimen for 4 weeks and then divided into ketogenic and non-ketogenic groups for 8 weeks period. Keto bodies (β-hydroxybutyrate) levels were measured weekly, testosterone and insulin biweekly, strength and body-composition monthly, lipid profile and blood sugar level at the beginning and at the end of the study.

EXPERIMENTAL

Low carb high fat ketogenic diet

Other: Low carb high fat ketogenic dieting

Non-ketogenic

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Low carb high fat non-ketogenic diet

Other: Low carb high fat non-ketogenic dieting

Interventions

Macronutrient ratios for low carb high fat ketogenic diet were 20 %, 5 %, 75 % of protein, carbohydrates and fat, respectively. Caloric intake for experimental phase was set to cover basal metabolism and sedentary activities (BMR times 1.2) for every participant using the Mifflin St Jeor equation.

Ketogenic

Macronutrient ratios for low carb high fat non-ketogenic diet were 20 %, 15 %, 65 % of protein, carbohydrates and fat, respectively. Caloric intake for experimental phase was set to cover basal metabolism and sedentary activities (BMR times 1.2) for every participant using the Mifflin St Jeor equation.

Non-ketogenic
