your wrong actuallly young gunz. consuming those carbs is for brain function. when you get zero carbs, the brain is forced to use ketones for energy. this pushes forward the mscuular use of ketones, and further progresses you into fat loss and a state of prefernetial fat use for energy. also; one of the good things about a ketogenic diet is that once your brain gets over the first 48 hours of switching from glucose to ketones; ketones are a much better energy source for the brain. you will notice a lifted state of mind, an easier time concentrating, and clearer thought.
white hulk; i was wondering....what is the correct proportion of fats to proteins ? is it really "what you feed it is what it will use", thus you have to have more fat calories than protein calories per day in ordser to fully utilize fats for energy all day? or is starting out each day with fat, and supplementing small amounts through out the day sufficient to keep your body prefering fats for energy? and another question...i was always under the impression that there was no need for a caloric restriction pof protein while on a ketogenic diet. i am getting the sense that this is false...that a caloric deficit is still needed. is this true?
i have been thinking that the best diet would be like this
110 grams of fats per day(with as high a ratio of polyunsaturated fats to other fats possible)
200 grams protein per day.
1800 calories... 1000 coming from fats, 800 from proteins.
this would kee your body using fats for energy; since thats what your feeding it the most calories of...and it would be giving you enough protein to repair your muscles.
is this the correct philosophy?
i actually HOPE NOT.
I am hoping that this other theory i have is correct....
start the day by supplementing with fatty acids. do your cardio with only this in your stomach. thus, your cardio should be being done fully on fat for energy. then, the next meal should contain fats. supplement with a few grams of polyunsaturated before this meal. but the protein intake could be whatever you wanted it to be. then....the next meal would contain a small amount of fats; again prteoin whatever you wanted it to be... so on and so on feeding your body small amounts of fat through out the day and in the intervals between meals when the small amount has been used up for energy, then your body dives into body fat stores with ease. at the end of the day, dont eat anything for an hour or two before bed, take a few grams of polyunsaturated and o light cardio just to work into those few grams of fat. then go to sleep....all night you should be slowly burning fat for energy from your body.
would this be more correct?
is it a misconception that only a certain amount of the protein we consume actually gets absorbed? once i was told that the human body could only absorb 35 grams of protein at once...the rest was then shit out. by numerous people i was told this. then anothe rcouple people said the number was 50 grams, and then we shit out the remaining. the most believeable of all the numbers i recieved that applied to this theory of limited absorbtion capability was that it was different for everyBODY, that one body might be able to absorb 30 grams, one body might be able to absorb 70. that it was in relation to body size, testosterone levels, and the bodies need for protein at that time. but still, even with a big body, high test, and damaged muscles...your bodyw ouldnt not be absorbing 100 grams of protein if you ate it, it just isnt capable of doing it. so.....whats the truth? is the an absorbtion limit? if so, is it low enough to actually matter? if not, can proteins be stored as fat? if so, can they be stored as fat if they still have a purpose in the body(there are still some damaged muscles in the body that the molcules coudl repair)?
...if the human body works like i think it does...very efficiently...it doesnt make sense to me that a protein molecule could be stored as fat at a time in the body when there is muscle tissue damage still apparent.. so, if a protein absorbtion limit did not exist, or even if it did but it was high enough to allow for free floating aminos to circulate foir quite soem time, and you did have lets say 100 grams of digested protein flowing through your veins, wouldnt those 100 grams most logically be used to repair as much damaged muscle tissue as possible for 100 grams of protein; and then, only then, when the body no longer needs these building block because they have already repaired every damaged muscle tissue fiber that neeeded repairing, only then would there be a possibility of proteins being stored as fat?
and even then...protien is supposed to be a building block nutrient, carbs and fats are energetic nutrients...how can a building block nutrient be stored in the same manor and form as energetic nutrients? and in the same material as well (adipose)..?
i know i asked a whoel lot of questions, but i would love to hear some good answers to these questions.
