In this groundbreaking episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast, we dive into a fascinating new randomized controlled trial published in Obesity (link to study) that explores the impact of carbohydrate consumption on ketosis and hunger regulation.
Key Topics Discussed:
• Study Overview: The methodology and key findings of this recent trial, which evaluates how carbohydrates affect ketone production and appetite.
• Carbs and Ketosis: Why carbohydrates are inherently “anti-ketogenic” and how they disrupt the metabolic state of ketosis.
• Hunger Regulation: Evidence from the study that links higher carbohydrate intake to increased hunger levels and how this impacts weight management strategies.
• Practical Implications: What these findings mean for those pursuing ketogenic or low-carb diets for fat loss, body recomposition, and improved metabolic health.
• Satiety and Protein: How prioritizing protein can help counteract the hunger-inducing effects of carbs while supporting sustainable fat loss.
Why This Episode Matters:
This study provides compelling evidence that supports the ketogenic approach to nutrition by highlighting the direct relationship between carbohydrate intake and hunger signaling. Whether you’re a seasoned low-carb enthusiast or someone curious about the benefits of keto, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable takeaways.

0:00.0 | Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. |
0:05.5 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host Vanessa and I am super pumped for |
0:10.7 | today's episode. We are breaking down a brand new study all about carbohydrate restriction |
0:16.8 | and appetite suppression. And I am so excited about this study because I feel it's very, very |
0:23.3 | validating, particularly because I have recently experienced going a little bit higher in my |
0:30.2 | carbohydrate intake and then noticing that I no longer had the same appetite suppression that I |
0:35.8 | did before. So I recently went back to my higher |
0:39.3 | protein keto, lower carb approach. And this study, I think, really validates what I've been |
0:45.6 | talking about recently in the podcast, which is a hypothesis that I have personally that carbs are |
0:52.4 | anti-ketogenic. And because they are anti-ketogenic they actually drive |
0:56.9 | hunger and so it's not that carbohydrates are intrinsically bad in themselves the whole food |
1:01.8 | forms of them I don't think they are bad at all but for some people they do have an effect |
1:08.1 | on driving hunger and we don't know the exact mechanisms behind this, |
1:13.6 | but this randomized control trial really explored this. |
1:17.0 | And they did it really interestingly |
1:18.6 | with a very fascinating study design. |
1:21.9 | So I can't wait to break it down with you. |
1:23.8 | This study is fresh. |
1:25.4 | Off the Presses was just published in obesity. And this was |
1:30.2 | 2024 November. So fresh off the presses. And I can't wait to break it all down with you all. |
1:36.4 | So we will get right into today's episode after this quick break. |
1:41.6 | Hi, friends. What an amazing time to make a fresh start and recommit to our health |
