How is it possible to lose body fat when consuming carbs?

When the glucose is used as energy? Don’t you need to have depleted your glucose stores for the body to start using fat for energy?

Calories.

I dont know how many studies they need to do before people accept it. When you equate for equal protein and calories, weight loss on low carb or law fat is exactly the same.

You need to find what works best for you when it comes to calorie restriction. For me, its low carb but not Keto

studies have shown if you inject enough insulin you can get people gaining fat in a deficit - even on 1200 calories a day

consuming carbs gives you more energy to push yourself at gym hence buring more calories

Do low intensity consistent cardio like a 30-45 minute jog.

Our body uses carbs for energy when it needs energy quickly.

When we do longer, less intense work, our bodies will start burning the fat for energy to save the carbs in case an emergency situation arises and you need the quick energy again.

This can be advantageous for survival purposes.

At least that is what I have read a long time ago. I applied it in my life and it seemed very effective. I am aware other people have had similar results.

Net carbs are what really matter.

You need fiber, kind of helps offset carbs.

Also when I say only complex carbs that means quality stuff.

Some people are like "hurr I'll eat a Snickers and then a piece of high fiber bread and everything should be OK.


1. Anything with things added to it is garbage, needs to be naturally occurring.

2. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that anyways.


Sucks, for most (myself included) once you get to the point with your body where the only thing that's gonna make a real difference is strict dieting.

I'm Type 1 Diabetic

All I know is low intensity stuff likw walking/hiking/yard work lowers my BG.

High Intensity stuff like weightlifiting, going above 6mph on the treadmill skyrockets my BG.

Even though a Banana will have 30g of carbs as a bar of chocolate has 30g of carbs the Banana actually brings my BG up by 100 more than the chocolate does. So I avoid bananas or fruit now.

Protein and Amino Acids brings up my Blood Sugar too.

Amino Energy has sucralose in it which is a type of sugar. A lot of fruits have sucralose and fructose which are simple sugars.

Stevia has sucralose in it which is sugar.

A lot of gum will have dextrose or matodextrin which are simple sugars. Read nutrition labels.

It's not Calories when it comes to simple carbs

It's what you eat either being sugar or turning to sugar

Only two ways for you to not care

Be 20 yrs old

Be on tech


Otherwise you're getting fat consuming them

of course high intensity spikes your BG. your body is creating it's own sugar via gluconeogenesis to fuel your muscles. and your body doesn't produce insulin to force the glucose into the cells so your blood glucose stays high as there is nowhere for it to go.

that's why you need your insulin shots, to lower your BG because your body doesn't produce insulin or you can fk yourself up. hyperglycemia.

Your blood and liver can only absorb so much glucose. When cutting you want to be below that threshold. It's that simple. So you either want to lower your carbs to be below the threshold, or completely cut them out. Your brain is still utilizing a lot of glucose as well, so if you're in low carb you need enough glucose to produce adequate energy for your brain. Otherwise it's actually a lot easier to just up your fats and get yourself into ketosis, rather than playing with your mind and endorphins by teasing yourself with a small amount of carbs.

Gotta agree
All this insuline spike, glucose bs only amounts to .3% of the big picture.
I've been intentionally getting fat, then intentionally getting lean twice per year for ....??? idk how many years.
I'm not superhuman; my body is just like yours.
I follow the same routine and get the same results, time after time after time.
It boils down to cico and iifym...period.
People making excuses just can't stick to a plan.

What if you ate nothing but meat and ate one grain of rice or a crumb of bread, would that make you fat?

You are thinking like a woman in absolute terms instead of logical ones.

It all depends on how much you are exercising, how much you are eating, and all of that obvious stuff.

If you are burning 4,000 cals a day and eating a slice of bread, you are not going to get fat.

If you are burning 4,000 a day and want to eat healthy you might benefit from eating a lot of protein and some carbs because a person cannot exercise vigorously without glucose in their muscles.

So, it's all about fueling up to be able to burn the stored fat without adding more fat by eating more food than your body uses.
