Short-term exposure to a high-fat (more than 60% of calories from fat), low-carbohydrate diet is clearly detrimental: fat utilization during exercise is unchanged and muscle glycogen stores are decreased. With longer-term fat adaptation, fat utilization during exercise is likely increased with perhaps some sparing of glycogen stores, but there may also be a decreased total amount of glycogen available. Although studies suggest high levels of physical performance can be maintained across varying levels of fat consumption, they have also found that a much greater mental effort is required to perform when on a high-fat diet.
