ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we’re diving into the ketogenic diet in the context of bodybuilding and muscle preservation. Our guest, Dr. Antonio Paoli, Professor of Exercise and Sport Sciences at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Padova, and Chair of Strength Training and Sport Nutrition at UCAM University in Murcia, Spain, will shed light on this compelling topic. Dr. Paoli's research focuses on the ketogenic diet, fasting, and the interaction between exercise and diet on skeletal muscle metabolism. He also explores the molecular foundations of exercise adaptation and the effects of various resistance training methods on health and body composition in both young and adult populations.
