Re: Benefits of Intermintent Fast
Our armchair physiologist opines:
Of course there is. All I meant was that you can't lose weight without
having reduced your liver's glycogen stores to zero. That's the
trigger which switches the energy metabolism to burning stored
fat. There's no need to start burning fat if there's other more
convenient and easily used energy supplies to hand.
"The visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is more proximal (convenient and
easily used energy) for the GI tract, which moves very energetically
when we are hungry, than glycogen stores either in our liver or our
muscles."
Wrong, the liver and muscle stored energy is used up first and fat
stores tapped next,
Vat serves in all people as this energy storage source and endocrine
gland
for production of related energy metabolism hormones.
It is also the reason that exercise uses vat selectively before other
fat energy stores and thus why exercise reduces vat selectively also.
Just another illustration that the author selectively is blinded by
pursuit of his non-scientific agenda. He is ignorant of the literature
in this area and ignores the research when shown him.
All the more reason to ignore the author with complete peace of mind.
God bless.
