Yet another fasting study suggests it’s not about the calorie restriction, but rather just the long periods of time without shoving food into your gaping maw.
A ketogenic diet with adequate calories  isn’t necessarily going to *add* slabs of muscle to your body, but you can at least *maintain* muscle WHILE decreasing body fat %.
 Appears it’s not glycogen depletion that makes a ketogenic diet reduce power production, but rather the acid ketones produce (meaning supplements like beta-alanine or sodium bicarbonate good choices for power keto athletes).

 ------------------------------------------ Listener Q&A 

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick. Why Your Muscles Shake When You Exercise [00:35:10] 

Garett says: My question relates to whenever I do strength or resistance training my muscles tend to tremble and shake. And this has been happening since high school and I am 31 now. When it happens my friends tend to joke that I am trying to out lift my potential or that I am too weak to lift the weights at hand (which is not the case). I have read that it could be from dehydration but I drink a ton of water. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or a supplement that might help temper it, I would love to know.  In my response, I recommend: -Kion amino acids -Creatine monohydrate -My Eat Yourself Smart article -HALO headset -Superessentials How To Heal Your Joints With Celadrin [00:52:58] 

Will says: What do you think of the supplement Celadrin. It contains something called esterified fatty acid carbons. Supposedly it is good for joints and tendons. I didn't have much of an idea what this means. I know certain fatty acids (like MCT oils and the like) are good for you but  I wasn't sure about these ones. Can you help us out?  In my response, I recommend: -Celadrin on Amazon -Kion Flex -Superessentials fish oil -The olive oil club Ben is a member of What Is The Best Temperature For Hydrotherapy [00:59:10] 

Sheridan says: I was wondering what temperature you keep your hot tub at when you are doing your heat therapy. Is hotter better? Is there a sweet spot temperature wise or does it depend on what result you are after?  In my response, I recommend: -My article on sauna science
