Re: tip
Right carbs are very protein sparing and your quickest route to GOOD energy (energy-cortisol=good energy).
there is no such thing: energy-cortisol, where did you get that ludicrous formula? site please
Any type of physical activity WILL BURN GLUCOSE wether you get that glucose from your carbs or you get that glucose from your protein or you get that glucose from your actual muscle tissue you will get the glucose.
i could eat hi gi stuff ALL day and be 100% fine as long as A. I didnt give into the hunger incured through low blood sugar roller-coastering and B. stayed within my caloric limit.
right, you COULD do that, and you also COULD technically survive by eating a TON of newspaper and shoe leather but you don't see people doing that
In fact if my diet was 99% carb and .5% protein and .5% fat and all the carb i ate was like pure table sugar and i didnt die in a week or two from no protein and fat then i could really lose some weight as long as I was under my caloric expenditure.
that's correct, you'd lose WEIGHT, weight be would defined as all your muscle tissue which possibly includes the heart -which is a muscle...afterwhich you would lose bodyfat but that would be right before you diet
That is if i could somehow determine when i REALLY needed to eat between when my blood had just been sucked dry from an insulin surge.
that's simple...get a Blood glucose meter and ketone meter
A slow release GI will fill up your glycogen stores before it will fill up your fat and in an active person glycogen stores are really ALWAYS needing to be a lil fuller,
Why would they need to be fuller? You can be active w/ low-glycogen stores and have a higher % of bodyfat loss. Think of it this way, if you're 2 steps away from completing a million dollar world marathon as the 1st placer, why would you want to stop there - same goes for people that work hard dieting, why sit there and mix up foods that might prevent fat loss
save for off days but in a good two hour workout you'll suck yor glycogen stores down a great deal, almost to nothing. You can only hold about 200-400g of sugar in muscle glycogen stores.
Actually, you are incorrect because the liver can hold up to 150g carbs, so add it to the equation and your carb spread it too high...like saying eat between 2000 and 3000 calories
This means 2 things 1. If I'm burning the stuff throught the day AND im active overflowing wont be really a problem less your hitting 450+ carbs (others can hold more or less depends on your lean muscle mass) and B. As long as you keep the carbs low GI they will relase at a rate as slow as you burn the carbs off (fiber helps with this).
I added carbs to my diet and reduced my protein a lil to 30% of my diet (WHAT CARBS UP PROTEIN DOWN?!?!) and acutally got leaner and built more muscle because energy was more readily avaible instead of having to be made with that nasty hormone cortisol in huge amounts all the time.
not sure what you're trying to say b/c that's exactly what I'm saying, higher carbs lower protein and low fat
Workouts got better energy improved ect. I maintain now about a 40-50% carbs daily and i just stay within my caloric bounds. (note: carbs are really anabolic too good for building muscle). See the hormones insulin and cortisol and glucagon and Gh are all relative to each other in differnt ways, without going into to much detail the point is this.
You will burn as many calories as u burn those calories will be of the macronutrient ratio you ate or close to it (this can be altered but for performance purposes not ideal) example as insulin goes down fats are utilized more and as less glucose is avaible protein is used to create more ect ect.
actually, that's not correct, for when glucose stores are very low usually the person in most cases is close to ketosis and can use FFA (free fatty acids) for energy; in addition, if the liver is close to being empty of glycogen then Ketones can be produce from FFA.
People get this weird fear of carbs like they belive somehow if they eat carbs they wont burn off the fat they eat, thats not true at all.
that's actually very true....if you eat carbs enough you will not be able to achive any level of fat loss (NOT weight loss) unless you've got a secret I dont' know about...
A guy that loads up on 1 cup of rice and some fatty grilled meat is most likely to gain some bodyfat
If they are within caloric bounds they will HAVE to burn off the fat they ate.
no they will not have to burn the fat they ate, for muscle protein can be used for energy; since protein has about a 50% conversion rate to glucose you can see the problem
Carbs I see as having some of the best benefits (good energy, anabolic, protein sparing, aids recovry, ect ect)
that's again not true...after eating carbs I am usually sluggish and sleepy, so really you're making a general blanket statement
They can be eatin in high amounts as long as the two T's are followed and thats type and timing, I eat carbs throught the day but i eat them heaviest at breakfast and after workout.
right, so you are almost doing a TKD customized
Fats have no guesswork with them cause u arent spiking inuslin levels by eating them but at the same time they dont provide energy the same way a carb does.
If you are in ketosis long enough fats can actually provide more energy
Mr. X said something about 10% fat, this i belive is to low regardless of carb intake.
Please go back and RE-read this case before you make statements. He is a Kick boxer that uses a LOT of energy during a workout, I'm not sure if you've ever kickboxed but I have and I KNOW first hand how much energy expenditures it takes. In his diet there is NO room for fat
At that level your testosterone levels are gonna be taking a major hit, not really ideal.
again not true, a 10% intake of saturated fats has shown to increase testosterone levels; thus, if he takes in 10% he should be fine...I'm not saying it's ideal for everyone but in his case it surely is a good way to go
A good ratio is 45-50 carbs this should provide enough glycogen to supply you through the day\workouts 20-25 fats this will give you something to save your glycogen stores for when you really need them like during training and then really no more than 30 percent protein above and beyond that you'll just pee a lot, have gas, and burn it like you would a carb.
why would you pee a lot and have gas? none of those are side-effects of burning calories - very untrue
What i like to do is kinda alternate by eating a meal with a good amoutn of carbs (breakfast) then my mid morning meal one more focusing on fats since by that time my insulin levels have lowered a bit and putting some EFA's in me will then leave my body on burning less glucose meaning more glycogen saved for when you need it.
just because you take in some EFA's it does not mean you burn less glycogen, where did you get that idea
So obviously in conclusion you should be deathly afraid of carbs because they are just little devils put on this earth to make us fat and have no nutritional value beyond that. (this is for anyone who didnt read the whole thing and thought they could get away with the last line)
Right, I dont' see the point of this post since I already said before this post that he should go w/ 50% carbs
