I believe that fasting exists His hypotheses have been thoroughly debunked I haven't seen anything of substance yet Promising speculations happen every day. Until they are thoroughly vetted, I don't buy into any of them

If you had actually read the primary sources from your link, you would see that she referenced the same quack that you have been citing (Fung) plus a tiny unreplicated study locked behind a paywall

FTFY

Well, that settles it. Who needs science when you have 2nd hand testimonials from random internet posters?

Nice backpedal. Promising speculation based on transgenic mice is a far cry from "most certainly"

So mice, then. That changes nothing.

Does that mean incel is the new Greenpeace?

Still leaves a massive carbon footprint.

What about scurvy?

Because that is the first question you should ask when embarking on ANY plan, especially on those that restrict entire food groups. I've seen the same question asked when people embark on vegetarian or vegan diets, and it's the right question to ask there as well. Funny I don't see you white knighting in those threads.

Nope MYTH: Insulin Makes You Hungry FACT: Insulin Suppresses Appetite It is a well known fact that insulin acutely suppresses appetite. This has been demonstrated in dozens and dozens of experiments. This will be important when we talk about the next misconception...…

Except nobody following calorie counting or IIFYM ever claimed otherwise, or tried to claim that there was any mechanism other than CICO governing fat loss.

Not true. Imaginary conditions require imaginary cures. Unicorn tears carbonated with leprechaun farts should do the trick.

I just know that when I die, I want my remains scattered over New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles... ...and I don't want to be cremated.

Selective quote is selective You must have missed the part about alternate fuel sources in the absence of glucose.

It is. Which is why nobody made that assertion in the first place.

You wake up every 2 hours screaming, with a load in your pants?

Correct. Brain. Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain, except during prolonged starvation. The brain lacks fuel stores and hence requires a continuous supply of glucose. It consumes about 120 g daily, which corresponds to an energy input of about 420 kcal (1760 kJ), accounting for some 60% of the…

Nonsense. The body will use its preferred fuel based on efficiency. Preferred fuel doesn't change based on availability.

Completely and utterly false. If glucose is available, the brain will use it exclusively. It will use ketones ONLY if there isn't sufficient glucose available, no matter how long it's been "used to" using ketones.

The former. The (non-diabetic)body is perfectly capable of keeping BG steady during rest, so the fact that muscles will primarily use glucose during bursts of energy likely has little to do with keeping BG steady Yet you had no problem with the term before your misuse of it was pointed out. False. Muscle tissue will use…

I see you still don't grasp the meaning of the word "prefer" If someone likes both steak and lobster, but will always choose the lobster when given a choice, he prefers lobster to steak. If there is no lobster available, and he orders the steak, he hasn't changed his preference.

Are you talking about Zach Bitter? Guess what? He still carb loads for races https://zachbitter.com/blog/2017/07/17/periodizing_nutrition_part_4_-_taper_and_race

Ask fans of the L.A. Lakers what low carb does for athletics, says Alan Aragon.
