Keto Diet Ultimate 4

Question 1

What is a targeted ketogenic diet (TKD)?

Accepted Answer

A variation that allows extra carbs around workout periods

Answer

The targeted ketogenic diet (TKD) permits consuming a small amount of fast-digesting carbohydrates (25–50g) immediately before or after intense exercise to support performance.

Question 2

On a cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD), what typically happens during the 'carb-loading' days?

Accepted Answer

Glycogen stores are replenished with higher carbohydrate intake

Answer

During CKD carb-loading phases (usually 1–2 days per week), carbohydrate intake is significantly increased to replenish muscle glycogen depleted during intense training.

Question 3

Which sugar alcohol is generally considered the safest for keto dieters because it has minimal impact on blood glucose?

Accepted Answer

Erythritol

Answer

Erythritol is generally considered the best sugar alcohol for keto because it has a glycemic index of nearly zero and is mostly absorbed in the small intestine before being excreted unchanged.

Question 4

What is 'dirty keto' and what distinguishes it from 'clean keto'?

Accepted Answer

Dirty keto meets macro ratios using any foods including processed ones; clean keto emphasizes whole foods

Answer

Dirty keto maintains the correct macro ratios (high fat, moderate protein, very low carb) but allows processed, low-quality foods, while clean keto prioritizes nutrient-dense, whole foods.

Question 5

How does the ketogenic diet affect the hormone ghrelin, which influences hunger?

Accepted Answer

Keto tends to suppress ghrelin levels, reducing appetite

Answer

Studies show that ketogenic diets tend to suppress ghrelin (the hunger hormone), which may explain the reduced appetite many keto dieters report even in a caloric deficit.
