Is it possible to increase the man muscle mass during the ketogenic dieting?

Question 1

Hello everyone. Thank you very much for helping me with my diets, I really appreciate it! Now I will ask not for myself, but for my boyfriend. I made him start the keto diet with me so it will be easier for us to keep ourselves away from prohibited products. He agreed but with one condition – he must gain some muscle during this diet so he won’t waste time. See what I want?
How to gain muscles on the keto diet? Is it possible? How to increase the man muscle mass during the ketogenic dieting? Is there a special menu plan for gaining muscles while burning fat? Or only the physic activity can provoke the muscles growth?

If yes, how to do it in a great way? Ane special exercises? Thanks!

Question 2

Hello Silva!

According to some researches, we generally see greater lean body mass (LBM) loss in ketogenic diet groups. Note that lean body mass contains water, glycogen, and muscle protein, by definition. It is hard to say with certainty that LBM loss implies greater “dry” muscle protein loss. “Wet” LBM can come and go quickly because it consists of water and glycogen.

As you see, it is possible to increase the man muscle mass during the ketogenic dieting, you just need to find the right dietologist and everything will be okay 😉
