You’ve probably heard the claimed benefits of a ketogenic diet – burn fat, lose weight, never run out of energy. Pretty much everything you’ve ever wanted!

It’s not for everyone, and I’m certainly not advocating that you try it right away. I might not recommend you try the keto diet at all! However, for some athletes, it could work. (And some will try it despite my warning…)

Continue reading to see why you might want to consider the ketogenic diet – and what to eat if you do.

Does this help with the ‘pump’ or is it mostly for overall recovery?

I find that my digestion is so much better when I follow a Vertical Diet style.

I struggle with cooking, but these meal ideas look genuinely easy to make.
