I would speculate that its the abundance of specific nutrients.. maybe amino acids or glucose levels that cause the effect.

Same calories, different apportionment.<br /><br />Specifically, eat big (esp pro) post-workout (recovery's where you make your gains). But if you ate that big all the time, you'd gain both muscle and fat, like many powerlifters.Jeffrey of Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012361017883221081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-1702776808041288032012-07-18T17:32:32.372-07:002012-07-18T17:32:32.372-07:00Hi Evelyn.

I tend to think if this is true, it goes away with habituation, so erratic IF may be better.

I kind of also wonder whether the increase in energy expenditure associated with a "balanced diet" as opposed to a higher fat diet has more to do with the body trying to rid itself of excessive glucose. That is, while one's metabolism is functioning properly, the body will increase energy expenditure by burning off the glucose. But, if the metabolism is operating sub-optimally, the excessive glucose goes into storage. Whereas with with fat, the body is primed to use it for fuel at any time, so an increase in energy expenditure beyond that of a "balanced diet" is not as necessary. It'll increase some because there's more energy to be used, but the body isn't as "panicked" about it.<br /><br />Also, I'm also a bit of an unqualified skeptic when people claim that low carb, per se, breaks their thyroid function, and is somehow restored by introducing dietary glucose. I have to wonder whether people with these experiences simply were not eating enough. And, the re-introduction of carbs simply meant a total increase in energy input. In other words, would they have experienced similar improvements in thyroid function by simply eating more?js290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-15015020150278711502012-07-17T22:53:25.414-07:002012-07-17T22:53:25.414-07:00My 10 Weight Loss Tips
These weight loss tips wil...My 10 Weight Loss Tips<br /><br />These weight loss tips will be most effective for those who gained few additional kilos after an improper diet plan.<br /><br />1. All dieticians advise to take as many fruits and vegetable as you can. They contain all vitamins, antioxidants and fibers which your body needs. Eating a lot of greens is the most natural and easy way to get rid of some fat and to make your lifestyle healthier.<br /><br />2. You can eat fresh fruits like a general meal but it will be even better if you will take them between mealtimes. It helps to regulate sugar level and reduce your craving to eat something.<br /><br />3. Fresh vegetables must be in your each lunch and dinner. Also, do not mix proteins (meat, beans) with starch (potato, pasta) in on meal.<br /><br />4. Meat must be less that 4 to 5 servings a week. When we say meat, we also mean fish and poultry. There are a lot of very tasty vegetarian dishes too!<br /><br />5. Start gradually to replace meat with legumes. It can be beans, lentils, peas. Plant protein is very healthy way to change your nutrition for good.<br /><br />6. Drinking liquids while eating is the worst habit ever! If you feel very thirsty drink something (better just plain water) after 10 minutes.<br /><br />7. Your daily consumption of calories must be well-balanced. It means that you cannot reduce your meal in a big level. Do everything gradually and also keep in mind that it’s better to have 5 or 6 small light meals throughout the day that to have 3 big meal a day and to starve between them.<br /><br />8. There are some “hidden” calories that can enormously add up our weight when we are not even aware of it. They are pop, cream, juices with sugar or sugar in our tea or coffee. Try to avoid them, using instead at least 8 glasses of water to balance hydration of our body.<br /><br />9. Of course, you must exercise in regular basis! Even 30 minutes a day is enough to feel better and give your body nice training.<br /><br />10. Alcohol must be cut because it is very rich in calories which are very “light” in becoming additional fat.

If we ...Ned, I would say it's absolutely real. If we can believe that metabolism is slowed by reducing energy input, then it stands to reason that metabolism can be accelerated by increasing energy input. <br /><br />Obviously the relationship is nonlinear; therefore I'm not surprised that dietary fat may have a different effect on energy expenditure. <br /><br />Practically, it doesn't really matter the exact function. As long as the hormones and enzymes are biased towards burning more fat than they store, fat mass will be lost.js290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-1229941954833833082012-07-16T16:39:11.950-07:002012-07-16T16:39:11.950-07:00Hi js290.

So any model that tries to decouple these two variables is inherently wrong.<br /><br />The other detail that people miss is <i>when</i> the body will use the energy we ingest. So, even if dietary fat doesn't necessarily provide the maximal increase in energy expenditure, what's important is the ability to ultimately tap the stored fat for energy. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelUWmKs4fc#t=5m19s" rel="nofollow">As Dr. Rosedale puts it, people don't get fat by eating it, they get fat by not being able to burn it.</a>js290noreply@blogger.com
