if your body is forced to use the dietary fat from food as its main energy source it begins to become fat adapted right. Well after it has consumed and used all energy from food, it will look to use another source of energy. Because a keto dietor will be fat adapted because the bodys using dietary fat for energy, it is…

Right, "Ketosis has a protein-sparing effect, assuming that you are consuming adequate quantities of protein and calories—0.7 grams per pound of body weight per day—in the first place.1 Once in ketosis, the body actually prefers ketones to glucose. Since the body has copious quantities of fat, this means there is no need…

good to hear someone else has the same query. I believe someone above partially answered my question by saying "The leptin increase and glycogen refill can only come from overfeeding carbs." I also dont know how one can carb refeed (fill glycogen stores) and still stay in ketosis?
-
Haha, calm down. If i find the source i will share, but i just take the information and knowledge from reading, not where its from.
-
dietary fat will be used first as the body will at least burn the calories you eat. The deficit you create from what you eat and what your burn will determine the fat loss. Unless anyone can better explain it?
-
It only takes a quick google search. I have read contradicting evidence. On the flip side, carbs are meant to be muscle sparing. . i only said research about it? As carbs can have that effect.
-
Interesting. I will experiment if and when i plateau :) well done on your weight loss!
-
good answer, nice to hear your experiences/knowledge on keto :)
-
it wasnt meant to be, but yeah apparently low carb can be muscle sparing.. iifym is meant to be clean eating, with exceptions for snacks/foods that do fit your macros. Some people take it to seriously and believe its optimally helping them towards a goal by making up their calories from anything.
-
Sorry but you have claimed to of tried a keto diet, yet you think its 60g and under carbs(under 30 optimal) and you dont understand it's principles
-
If one has low carbs for a sustained period, the body begins to learn to run on fat not dietary carbs. One study has actually showed that a high fat low carb surplus/bulk diet, gained significantly less fat than a low fat high carb equalivant calorie intake.this may be due to carbs not being necessary, and fats are better…
-
can you please do your own research and decide whether you agree? Continue to drink your coke and have sugary and carby krave for breakfast, but if you think iifym is as good as a clean/balanced diet youre wrong. Also, research about carb blood sugar spike and the effect of insulin (promotes fat storage)
-
I just explained how one who is fat adapted will burn more fat in a deficit than someone who has a high card diet. Once the body uses energy from food, it looks for other sources. Fat adapted individuals use fat, where as other would not. Also weight loss is not always fat loss
-
No, you still need a deficit. Thats where the fat/muscle or weight loss occurs.
-
if one is in a deficit, they will (or should) lose weight as they're not eating enough to maintain their weight. However i think the difference is on a ketogenic diet is that because there are no carbs/glycogen, and the body adaps to burning fat efficiency (not glycogen), therefore the deficit on a keto diet goes solely…
-
the body becomes fat adapted; it starts to burn fat as a fuel at rest and during exercise. Where as one on a high carb diet would mainly burn glycogen, and rarely tap into fat storage
-
it depends how long you did it for, how low you had carbs and whether you actually became fat adapted. Balanced diet is very vague, but i, and many others have experienced greater fat loss on a low carb (under 30g) ketogenic diet. i would personally say incorrect. You cant argue with a body basically running on fat as a…
-
i did specify i was not referring to weight loss. Have you tried low carb/ketogenic diet?
-
I have body fat scales, i think i know what has worked better. It depends what you call a balanced diet, but eating 'clean' yet having high carbs was not as successful as doing keto, for body fat specifically.
-
The "refeed" would be more of a refeed of calories, rather than carbs. We all know that maintaing a deficit for a long time is not great for the metabolism and hormones etc
-
Thats true. Different products from different supermarkets are significantly different. I.e. some have more fat etc
-
Right, ok thanks. I just presumed weighing foods (meat) after was more accurate because I dont eat uncooked meat (lol) and uncooked food isnt just purely meat.
-
I think that is probably the best idea tbh :)
-
I have personally experienced greater fat loss(not referring to weight loss) during ketosis on a low carb diet, than on a high carb diet with a larger deficit. Hence why im wondering whether it would be optimal to stay in ketosis, and refeed low carbs (increase calories and fat, rather than calories and carbs)
-
Thank you for your reply, and i have researched about leptin and benefits of high carb refeeds already :) I currently track my low carb eating, and was purely interested in ways to make refeeds more effective(done 1 refeed with high carbs and it took me quite a few days to get back into ketosis). If a huge carb up was…
