Hugo and Ross Turner, identical twins, embarked on a 12-week diet experiment, one on a high-fat and the other on a high-carb diet. Both twins showed improvements in fitness and leanness, but Ross reported higher energy levels compared to Hugo, who struggled with fatigue. Despite gaining more muscle on the high-fat diet, Hugo performed poorer in intense exercises. The experiment's anecdotal results suggest that diet impacts fitness differently, with the twins planning to adjust their diets based on their upcoming expeditions, and a sports scientist emphasizing the necessity of balancing macronutrients based on individual lifestyle.
"The twins followed a high-fat and high-carb diet for 12 weeks, both getting fitter, but Hugo felt more fatigued on the high-fat regimen."
"While Hugo gained more muscle on a high-fat diet, Ross, on a high-carb diet, performed better in cardiovascular tests and had more energy."
