Diet ideas

Then why is it that when I cut my carbs I can drastically reduce my body fat

1) Cutting carbs reduces glycogen which many people mistake for either muscle or fat loss

2) reducing glycogen reduces water weight which many people mistake for fat loss

3) cutting carbs reduces calories in which THE CALORIE DEFICIT causes fat loss.

4) nothing in this post, even remotely in any way shape or form, proves your other post.

Facts[emoji106][emoji108]

Jennie Craig has made mad money on their programs doing exactly this and people thinking they lose 10-20lbs the first month or money back.


They know what doc is saying is true and feed off people, then take their money.
 
Question for Doc, what is your take on Coconut oil, my friend told me to replace my fat intake to solely coconut oil as it helps to metabolize BF.
 
De novo lipogensis in humans only happens in very extreme circumstances. Please provide any sort of evidence to the contrary if you'd like but there is none to find....

So what happens to those excess carbs if they do not convert to fat? Would they just temporarily become bloat/ water weight once glycogen is replenished?

The first thing the body tries to do to carbs is turn them to glucose and use them for immediate energy needs. If excess glucose is left over after energy needs are met, then they get stored as glycogen. De novo lipogenesis, or being stored as fat, is very rare and takes extreme circumstances to happen to any significant degree in humans.

What ends up happening with the "carb debate" is your body needs less energy bc carbs are plentiful. When this happens it needs less stored fat to mobilize as energy and thus less fat is burned. Basically, when you eat more carbs, you burn more carbs or store more as glycogen but burn less fat. When you eat less carbs you burn less carbs but more fat. Don't think this automatically means you get fat eating carbs or lose weight reducing carbs bc it's the deficit that counts. If you replace all your carb calories with fat calories nothing really changes much except how you get to the same end point, ie, you burn more fat but bc dietary fat is preferentially stored, it means you store more fat. It's net changes that matter for body weight.

Here's a simple article that explains it better than I am:

Coconut oil is fine but it's no magic cure. I wouldn't replace all my fat intake with it but if you want to incorporate it into your diet bc you like it....go for it.

Great info thanks Doc
 
Great thing about doc is he doesn't normally call people crazy names, he brings his points across and will have a great conversation about the topic at hand. Learned a lot from this guy.

And he does a great job at catching me when I misplace a word [emoji23]

And this one is bc I'm feeling a weird fascination towards the guy in your avi....

Carbs cause the fat storing hormone insulin to be released and all fat burning is halted till insulin resides , that's a fact.

Insulin does more than just store fat and there is at least one other hormone that can store fat even when insulin isn't present. Fatty acid oxidation can indeed happen in the presence of insulin.

Since you were wrong on all counts I'd say that's fantasy not fact.
