      Is there anything in that tome about how the body decides whether to burn fat and/or protein when you're hungry (i.e. stomach empty, blood glucose dropping, etc.).

      Reason I ask, sometimes at night, after exhausting my calorie intake budget for the day, I feel a little hungry. Should I snack lightly, or assume I'm not digesting my own protein for its caloric content?

      'Mit all dem scientists on this board, I'm hopeful for some comment on the topic: "burn fat, protein, or both?".

      yes there is, I mean it talks about all the hormonal interaction in the metabolism, so sometimes you need to infer, but the leap is pretty short, they give you all the reasons why things happen so all you have to do is apply the knowledge.

      I am kinda new to this site but I can see where having friends traveling this same journey could be very helpful. I don't post much since I don't have internet access at home but I am impressed to see the amounts of weigt people have lost. WOW!:flowerforyou:
      I also like science. I am particularly interested in the brain and how it works at this time because I have a daughter with schizencephaly. It is rather rare and I wish I could meet some other folk on this journey as well.

      Biochemistry is terrible, and possibly the bane of my existence at this moment. Genetics would win if the two had to duke it out. I haven't gotten to the brain in anatomy class yet, it'll be interesting to see how he tries to shove it into three weeks. Yall are awesome by the way, it gets hard when you don't have many friends interested in science to get excited about it with.

      I remember my first neurobiology lecture at uni. It started something like this "this module is about the brain. It's amazing how much of the brain you can remove without actually killing the person." LOL kept everyone's attention.
