If exercise is good, that doesn't mean that exercise & diet can't be

better. I mean, how many of us would say, " If working is a great way

to make money, why should I invest in mutual funds? "

Theoretically you'd become even leaner, more muscular, etc.

I would tend to say yes, in most cases. However, there may be at times

individuals who for some reason do not respond to an exercise program as

ideally as you may like. In those cases, the addition of a different type

of diet may be appropriate. Also, for people looking to get as lean as

possible yet maintain as much muscle mass as possible, a ketogenic diet may

have some advantages for some (not all) people. I know that Lyle Mc

stated he was able to reach a level leanness on a ketogenic diet that had

not been possible on other diets, and this is a guy who knows all about the

benefits of resistance training and an effective exercise program.
