In the fed state proteins are delivered to the tissues and muscles for substance but are not broken down for energy and fat bypasses the liver to form adipose tissue, leaving sugar as our sole energy source.
Note: too much sugar and some of it will be converted into fatty acids which will also become adipose tissue.
It isn't until we reach the fasted state (10-12 hours of no eating) that we begin to use adipose tissue and proteins as an energy source as well as stored sugars.
Here's my question: With this information as fact, is there actually a way to use adipose tissue without using proteins from muscles as well? If not, then what is the rate that adipose tissue is used vs muscle protein?
I've done CKD, which puts your body in a pretty much perpetual fasted state. I'm guessing the heightened Protein intake not only replenishes protein levels, but creates excess protein which muscles can continue to feed on, and with the body in ketosis, it will use both adipose and dietary fats for energy, therefore muscles will be maintained while fat loss is occurring.
Also: Why do different carbohydrates matter in a diet? They all feed some stage of glycolysis... so what's the difference between eating some chocolate and eating some whole wheat bread?
