Nope. Glycogen is what is needed for intense workouts. Your muscles can only store so much of glycogen, less than a day's worth. When you drink energy drinks, you have to wait 30-60 minutes to even feel the effect. Glycogen can be replenished through conversion of glucose, and through breaking down protein into glucose. The body makes all the glucose it needs, and has ZERO needs for dietary carbs.
Keto might raise cholesterol levels, but it doesn't cause heart attack. Heart attacks are caused by atherosclerosis, a condition that is far more likely to happen on a high carb diet.
Keto diet should be used in ALL conditions, because that is the natural metabolic condition of the human body. ALL humans are born in ketosis.
You didn't answer one of my question, which is what happens when you carbs enter your body. Answer is your body breaks it down with enzymes (typically amilase) into simple sugars, monosaccharides/disaccharides, and is absorbed in your digestive system. This raises your blood sugar which raises your insulin which results in fat conversion and fat storage. Eating 60% carbs is an invitation to early life metabolic disease.
Maintaining high LDL cholestrol levels consistency is what causes rapid atherosclerosis, regardless of carbs.
High fat keto diet will sky high your cholestrol.
Its shown that in women keeping LDL <80mg/dL or 2.0 mmol/L does not cause plague development.
Low LDL cholestrol is key to having a heart attack free lifetime.
Its crazy you avoid tiny bits of artificial sugar in Whey but eat & promote a Keto diet.
Your advice can cause a fatal heart attack.
Nothing wrong with eating carbs causing Insulin release.
You cannot gain fat simply by eating carbs cause insulin.
You only can gain weight (fat/muscle) with caloric surplus, regardless how much carbs u eat.
Metabolic diseases are caused being overweight (got etc factors, but not cause 60% CARBS).
Eating a moderate/high carb balanced diet with adequate nutrition at TDEE calories while maintaining healthy weight and exercise doesn't cause Metabolic disease.
Please eat a balanced healthy diet composed protein fat and CARBS.
