What is Ketogains?
Ketogains is “a practical and evidence-based protocol with the goal of achieving optimal body composition and health. “
Our core philosophy is based on three pillars:
EDUCATION, EMPOWERMENT, ACHIEVEMENT.
Our Mission: To help people achieve their fitness & health goals. To Change lives through education and empowerment.
Our Vision: To become one of the most respected and trusted health sciences resources.
Ketosis is a side effect of our general macro and micro recommendations for many, but NOT THE GOAL in itself:
“Chase results, not Ketones” ®
At Ketogains, we will teach you how to get into the best shape of your life while improving your health by following a low carb diet of whole, nutrient dense foods.
We believe that through the process of becoming mentally and physically stronger we empower ourselves to become better in all areas of our lives.
So, whether you want to gain strength and health, improve endurance and speed, or achieve a lean body, it can all be done with our approach.
Welcome to KETOGAINS.
All advice here, comes mainly from respected scientific and sport / nutrition sources (Jeff Volek, Steven Phinney, Peter Attia, Lyle McDonald, Menno Henselmans, Ted Naiman, Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson, Bill Lagakos, - in no particular order-, et al.) and adapted toward our athletic endeavors.

-
Many posts will be anecdotal but we strive for a scientific foundation - please differentiate accordingly. It's fine to say "I did X and Y happened" but when you're stating something like it's a universal truth, you should have a source.

Keep it positive and friendly. No slurs or harassment. A post doesn't have to strictly violate a rule to be worthy of being removed. Sometimes people get creative.
