I’m curious about nutrition for strength and recovery, particularly in premenopausal women. There’s a lot of talk about protein requirements, source, and timing for MPS. While I find all this interesting, I imagine it overwhelmingly appeals to men, at least as far as the focus on muscle size is concerned. As a woman, I am more interested in strength gains and recovery for getting back to the next workout—not interested nearly as much in muscle bulk. I eat almost exclusively plant based, so it’s been encouraging to hear that the “plant vs. animal” debate is focusing on “the wrong question,” and that many plant foods do well for promoting MPS. But is there any evidence suggesting that certain foods or general dietary patterns are better or worse at promoting recovery between workouts?
I'd love a comprehensive look at the evidence so far regarding keto diet during cancer treatment. Are there any types of cancers or types of treatment where such diet would make sense? Is there any reliable data so far or is the data so far to weak to have a real opinion?
