In their first book The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living, which was was written for health care professionals wanting more information about the low carb diet, the authors championed the benefits of carbohydrate restriction to manage insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type-2 diabetes. They also promoted the concept of Nutritional Ketosis – the “shift in the adaptation of the body’s hormonal set and inter-organ fuel exchange to allow most of your daily energy needs to be met by fat, either directly as fatty acids or indirectly by ketone bodies made from fat.” With low carb bloggers like Jimmy Moore successfully re-stimulating weight loss through the adaption of Nutritional Ketosis, The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance fully explains the benefit of Nutritional Ketosis and the benefit to anyone looking to lose weight or increase physical performance the low carb way.

The low carb Doctors explain that the keto-adapted (burning fat for fuel) athlete benefits from Nutritional Ketosis and low carb dieting for superior fuel flow not only when nearing glycogen depletion, but also during training, recovery, and in response to resistance exercise as well.
