Study - resistance exercise on ketogenic diet reduces fat mass, does not increase lean body mass

by Pal T Jabekk,Ingvild A Moe,Helge D Meen,Sissel E Tomten, and Arne T Høstmark

Fasting blood lipids do not seem to be negatively influenced by the combination of resistance exercise and a low carbohydrate diet.
