Do fats turn into Glycogen in your body? I’m unsure, but Ive believed in the back of my mind they did.
If fats do yield glycogen for energy - and if thats how fats ultimately provide energy (again, only IF, as Im unsure), then adding vinnegar to inhibit glycolisis would also negatively affect Fat burn.
I appreciate well informed comments and your patience in the case Im dead wrong on the fats-yield-glycogen-for-energy assumption.
No
no they dont. even if you didnt know that, just reading the article “WE MADE EPHEDRA OBSOLETE” would have cleared that up, AND THE “the carbohydrate roundtable” and many other threads in the forum.
come on diesel… stop trying to brainstorm yourself to death
Don’t you have some ass-spanking to do or something? Go get busy.
Carbs → Energy or glycogen.
Fat → Energy or adipose tissue.
Would all the food guide fatties be insisting that high fat diets inhibit performance if fat could replenish glycogen?
Lord help us…
Hey EC, maybe I’ve missed it. But have there been studies, that yielded any results in athletic performance in fat burning vs carb/glycogen burning?
this should be the post of the year.
realy.
instead of arguing with restless on the OT forum, go do your homework. I cant believe that Im seeing youre name here for 8 month, giving advice to people and telling off people and you still dont have a clue.
Im not saying I do have clue, but as Ian king or someone said
"whenever someone answers a question in this area starting with the words: ‘it’s simple, realy…’
you know they don’t know sh*t"
Glycogen = long chains of glucose molecules stored in liver and skeletal muscle. Depleted during strenuous exercise, hence the post-workout high GI carb meal.
Fats themselves provide energy at 9 kcal/g vs 4 kcal/g carbs and protein.
No but the reason is that even though after conversion GAP-3 the glycolytic pathway doesn’t posses the correct enzyme to go back up to glucose and thus, as glycogen is branched chain glucose polymers it aint possible. however GAP-3 can proceed down the glycolytic pathway to the TCA aka Krebbs cycle to be converted to ENergy (yes i’m gonna be vague on that as i aint tryin to describe the cycle without pics!)
