greater fat loss than lower intensity activities. From a practical standpoint, this means that a
ketogenic dieter wanting optimal fat loss should train at as high an intensity as they can which is
compatible with a ketogenic diet. Individuals on an SKD are limited in terms of intensity while
individuals on a TKD or CKD may wish to experiment with interval training to maximize fat loss.
