>>perv

First you delusionally fabricate some degree I must have along with student debt — and now “perv”.

Are all your “arguments” so disingenuously malformed?

Someone with an actual rational interest and perspective might wonder what the measurable conditions for “excessive” might be.

But not you.

SMH.

>What’s the long term prognosis if the muscle tissue happens to be your heart?

The body rebuilds the muscle tissue from protein every day and your body has a lot of muscle mass.

Glycogen reserves are only about 1,500 to 2,000 calories. Which means if you ever do any sort of heavy physical activity for a prolonged period then you’re body will also use glyconeogenesis to produce Glycogen. It’s not starvation mode, it’s normal mode.

From what protein, if someone is on a water fast?

Psst, Super-Genius.

Repeat this reaaaal slow:

“Inuit have been observed to have enlarged livers with an increased capacity for gluconeogenesis, and have greater capacity for excreting urea to remove ammonia, a toxic byproduct of protein breakdown.[54][63][64][65]”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis

And then tell us how the process of gluconeogenesis fuels the brain with ESSENTIAL glycogen.

Nah Bob, you were done when you pulled:

Out of your gluconeogenesly ignorant wherever.

>That why the US Military bothered to develop the MRE instead of just feeding troops a water bag and a stick of butter?

Anyone who’s studied history knows that armies that don’t consume grains are better in combat than grain fed armies. The Mongols and other nomadic people had major advantages over their opponents because they didn’t have to eat every 11 hours thus supply lines were much less of a problem for them.

But carbs are much, much cheaper than meats and fats, and much easier to store and transport so that’s what most armies run on.

Brain requirements for glycogen are minimal. You lose some muscle mass on a long-term fast. So?

As I’ve said there are multiple cases of obese people who’ve stopped eating altogether and they didn’t die from it. The primary issues people have are a lack of vitamins and electrolytes and the primary damage from not getting enough of those things is damage to the liver and kidneys.

So is that a problem when the muscle mass is cardiac muscle?

There’s no evidence that cardiac muscle is impacted by it until the body is very low in muscle mass.

"In summary, we observed that a substantial portion of runners have abnormally low serum sodium concentrations after completing a marathon. Excessive consumption of fluids, as evidenced by substantial weight gain while running, is the single most important factor associated with hyponatremia”
http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa043901#t=articleDiscussion

They gained weight while running a marathon. Gee, I wonder how that works.  But not hypotonically opinionated you - when you can fabricate students loans and degrees in place of rational thought.

And folks wonder how this country became so psychotically detached from reality and science that kids think they can change their gender.

SMH.

It is called ketones "eminent moron."

Just one of a avalanche of current papers on VLCHF (ketogenic) diets. Must suck being you.

Twelve-month outcomes of a randomized trial of a moderate-carbohydrate versus very low-carbohydrate diet in overweight adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus or prediabetes

My only disagreement with the paper is the term pre-diabetes. As Kraft pointed out, it is diabetes.

Now run along and google other nonsense you have no understanding of. Don't waste your time posting to me. I already know you are an idiot.

Nothing perverted about calling a hypotonically saturated opinion, like what you've put on display, out for what it is.

Needs a name for the literature though - I dub it:

"Ketone bodies are produced by the liver under the circumstances listed above (i.e. fasting, starving, low carbohydrate diets, prolonged exercise and untreated type 1 diabetes mellitus) as a result of intense gluconeogenesis, which is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources (not including fatty acids)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies


"gluconeogenesis" whoop - there's that ESSENTIAL gluco-whatever again Mr. "engineer".

How long you been running your brain on water and butter?
