Also..ketone as a fuel source doesn’t take place until the body rids itself of glucose which is about 24 hours..but when you have no glucose intake you start to kill brain cells!

after 24 hours of non-glucose intake ie food…your body will start to use the ketone sources that are in stored fat, must be careful no to go too far or it will destroy muscle when the body runs out of fat to use for energy muscle mass comes next

ketones don’t destroy muscle!?! you’re highly misinformed, if you don’t have a proper amount of fatty acids and protein then it will destroy them.

Hi,

I was wondering however, does the body utilize “STORED FAT” better when in ketosis rather then using a lower carb diet?

In other words, once you’ve converted the body to use fat as primary fuel source instead of the glucose in the body, and do cardio or HIIT training etc. and burn off all the ingested fats consumed through the day and then finally start using “STORED FAT” as fuel.. will it be used up more efficiently and burn faster?
Rather then the same situation! Same amount of calories, training etc. then when the glucose is burnt up and start using “STORED FAT” but not in ketosis.. when slightly more carbs?

I would really appreciate the feedback or/knowledge from anyone.

Thanks

This may be a dumb question… but if I eat a fair amount of dietary fat, will my body burn that fat before burning my stored body fat? Do I need to be concerned about the amount of fat I eat as well as carbs? Or do I just focus on staying low in carbs and creating a caloric deficit so my body fat is eventually burned?

How do endurance sports play into this. If I only ate 50 – 80g of carbs and did my usual 32 mile bikes rides 5 times a week I’d bonk in a hurry. In fact, I tested this. On days 3 I could barley ride 12 miles. I ate about 2500 calories (good calories), 50g of carbs for two days and I bonked hard on day 3, the point where I was almost in an over trained state.

How does one take into effect this diet for athletes?

This is the best article I’ve read concerning burning fat. I dropped sugar from my diet six weeks ago and fat is melting off me like crazy. I also dropped refined carbs, as much as possible. But I still drink beer and wine. Exercise is limited to 4-5 half hour bike rides per week and taking the steps at work. I think it’s no coincidence that in the past 30 years the American carb intake has skyrocketed along with the growth of the health club industry and yet, we’re all getting fatter. Exercise is not nearly as important as what you eat. You don’t have to go crazy.

Interesting post. I still think the best way to stay healthy is to eat a balanced diet composed of nutritious foods and exercise regularly. Exercise also regulates your metabolic set point, and is more effective than trying to maintain wait through diet alone.

Good article.. I just gotta mention that those feet in that picture are the nastiest gnarliest things i’ve seen. Talk about toe sludge galore!
