Why don’t we start with “less calories” and then once people learn to listen to vague guidelines, you can get specific. The “less carbs for non training” statement lies on the assumption that 1000 calories from carbohydrate is somehow more fattening than 1000 calories from fat, which it is not.[/quote]
Don’t carbs increase insulin sensitivity, sending the body into fat storage mode, whereas fat would not increase insulin sensitivity?
Also, with true low-carb, can’t you enter a ketone state after a couple weeks where you have free floating ketones breaking down fat as your primary fuel instead of carbs, arguably the way we have evolved to live in the first place?[/quote]
Ketones don’t break down fat.
And you have it wrong; there’s an inverse relationship between insulin sensitivity and predisposition to fat storage.
Low carb, high fat diets sometimes decrease insulin sensitivity.
I think you need a bit of a primer on this stuff. So get that book and a good biochem book, preferably this one. http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Nutrition-Metabolism-Sareen-Gropper/dp/0495116572/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283831339&sr=8-1[/quote]
Are you intentionally linking the same book in each post?
And do you have any other recommended biochem/nutrition books? I’m actually trying to major in biochem right now[/quote]
I plugged the biochem book and the Advanced Nutrition and Metabolism one: http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Nutrition-Metabolism-Sareen-Gropper/dp/0495116572/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1284054498&sr=8-1)
Are you speaking ACADEMIC book recommendations, or consumer-oriented, REAL application type stuff, or maybe even BRO-SCIENCE type stuff?
