Fat vs Carb Metabolism

How does eating carbs convince your body to start consuming fat?

> The only way to get consumed fat into your bloodstream is to first convert it into sugar --- which itself burns some energy.Fat does not get converted into glucose in normal conditions in appreciable quantities. It's used as-is, most of the body can directly utilize fatty acids as a fuel source.Also, body has a lot of mechanisms to deal with sugar. It is normally stored in the liver and then released slowly.

Well, fat digestion seems to be effective even comparing to hydrocarbons.I think longer hydrocarbons including sugar have to be broken into fructose and glucose during digestion. Fructose cannot be immidiately consumed by cells, so it's converted into glucose in liver. On top of that, there are about 5g of glucose total in bloodstream at any given moment, so exess have to be accumulated by liver/muscle cells that have to store it in a long-chain hydrocarbon form (glycogen). Each con

Fat vs glucose being the energy source depending on diet? Where can I find more info about this?

The body is designed to use its own fats for energy. All logic says you are talking about extreme conditions.

AFAIK anything with bioavailable calories is quickly stored as fat if not used as energy. Is that not the case?

Your body will break down protein and fat into carbs if it isn't supplied with enough carbs. Your body has developed a mechanism to make carbs from other things because it needs carbs so badly. It would seem folly to think we should rely on this round-about disaster-mitigation mechanism instead of just supplying it with what it wants, which is partly carbs.

The body breaks down some muscle tissue beacause it can make glucose from by gluconeogenesis. You need about at least 80 g glucose or so per day (brain), even if you do not eat any carbohydrates. The body cannot make glucose from fat.

The body needs protein to function (the body is partially built out of protein, and also proteins perform many important functions in the body), and it cannot be synthesized from fat or carbs. The body also has no store of protein. This means that outside of dietary protein, breaking down muscles is the only option.Secondary to that, the body needs some amount of glucose. The best option for that is stored glycogen. When those stores run out the body can enter ketosis which reduces but does n

He means Ketones.When you are eating excessive sugars and carbs like most people today, your body doesn't burn fat. You only use sugars for energy. That's why you have your energy levels constantly up and down.I have been on ketagonic diet last 3 months. I eat no sugars and less than 50gr carbs. My energy levels are always stable now, lost 20lb. I don't need glucose for energy.I see it as winter mode vs summer mode:- If it's is summer there are sugars and carbs. S
