Many people do fantastically without any in their diet at all, but others do very well. Gut biome research is in is INFANCY and anyone who claims to know what an "optimal" biome is is out of their mind. What we eat influences the composition of bacteria in the gut. You can change this in a matter of days by changing the food you eat. The gut biome of someone who eats a lot of fiber is probably shifted to thrive with a a lot of fiber. A strict carnivore's gut biome probably thrives without much fiber. The biome stuff is interesting, but I'm more intrigued by the fact that so many people have reversals of very serious metabolic illnesses by removing sugar, starch, and seed oils from their diet, with zero specific focus on the biome, and not special interventions to address certain bacterial strains. No probiotics, no anti-candida protocol, just going keto, low-carb, or carnivore. <br /><br />I'm not an expert on the fuel partitioning and glycogen repletion during exercise. Sorry. I can speculate, but that would just be speculation and not hard and fast answers. Do you follow Ted Naiman on Twitter? He would be a better guy to ask.

Some other questions that popped up as I w...Hi Amy,<br />Some other questions that popped up as I was thinking about this, so generally speaking : -<br />Q1 - Can we say that at the time of feeding/re-feeding our bodies fill up the glycogen stores first and fat stores once there is no more space in glycogen stores (in liver and muscles)? i.e. Fat is stored when there is no place for energy to go except for it to get stored as fat by insulin?<br />Q2 - When we burn calories, do we follow the same sequence as above - i.e. burning glycogen most of the time and getting access to fat only when glycogen is depleted and insulin levels are low? <br />PS: I know you mentioned about body not being a binary system but generally speaking would this sequence of storing & burning make sense? If so, then one can design work out schedules in a way where low intensity and high intensity are sequenced in a way where fat burning is at its best (for that specific body). There are too many ifs and buts, just that I am trying to connect the dots to understand my body better and see what will work best for me. Could you please provide some perspective here?<br />Also, would be great to have your thoughts on : -<br />Q3. What about people missing out on fiber (soluble and insoluble) if consuming LC or Keto diets or even intermittent fasting for that matter?<br />Q4. What about latest research on having diversity in gut micro biome (which might be jeopardized by cutting down on a lot of ingredients / food sources for diets in like LC/Keto etc.)<br /><br />Many thanks in advance! You def have a serious follower here!

Really appreciate your blogs. Would love t...Hi Amy,<br />Really appreciate your blogs. Would love to know your thoughts on why insulin resistance occur? I mean as a teenager my energy expenditure was perfect, in fact, most of our energy systems run properly in the early years (unless something is broken in our metabolism). I'd give my kid a cup cake and cookie and she is bouncing off walls, right? So Leptin and SNS and all are working fine. Why is it that over a period of years (for some people it might happen early in their 20s for some later in 30s or 40s) we develop insulin resistance?<br />The same kid (think me) at 37 is now thinking of cutting down on CHO to regulate insulin better. Is it because of regular wear and tear of cells / tissues that the insulin receptors don't work efficiently or is there a combination of reasons? If we know the root cause of insulin resistance we might be able to target that as opposed to taking care of it the hard way i.e. avoiding those delicious carbs. Is it because we were not meant to be taking so much carbs (think Sugar) in the first place (as designed by nature) and therefore the receptors are just rusty as they have performed so much all these years and now need servicing? I have read Dr. Jang's theory on this but I am not so convinced. See here - https://idmprogram.com/insulin-resistance-hormonal-obesity-viii/<br /><br />Would love to know what you think! Cheers!

They actually asserted that high carb plus protein elevates insulin the most giving it a 9, and then carbs alone are down around 5, and fat is at zero. So consuming carbs with protein may actually not be such a good idea. On the other hand my problem with this whole discussion is that we don't eat "carbs", "protein", and "fats" we eat plant parts and animal parts (and sometimes earth parts). So what happens when you're consuming a nice juicy hamburger with fries a coke and a milkshake to top it off? Which parts are additive or subtractive or multiplicative? The Eades would say the carbs plus the protein is the problem and the fat would only very slightly reduce the problem. But about those fats -- Do they really subtract from the equation? Or when used in particular combinations do they add or multiply into the equation? Sure having lots of fat with your sugar and starch will slow the digestion but will it really keep blood insulin down? [and according to the Eades it would keep the insulin down only by one point (dropping from 5 to 4)] And what about the metabolic process where excess sugar/starch + fat both get stored as fat? (The latter would imply that fat is safe to eat except in the presence of excessive starch/sugar) <br /><br />Here are my notes about what they wrote from p.37 of their book: <br />Large amts carb and small amt protein elevates insulin the most, and quite significantly (9)<br />Then carbs (5), and after that, <br />carbs + fats (4)<br />Protein, Protein + fat, Hi Protein + low carb (all 2)<br />Fat – no change. Fat is invisible to insulin. NSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-91699246943857266322014-05-19T09:00:07.116-04:002014-05-19T09:00:07.116-04:00NHL?

(Used to be a huge fan, but I think all the guys I followed are probably long since retired now.)<br /><br />On the other subject, yes, you're right -- having some fat and protein with the carbs will help moderate the BG/insulin rise. It'll still happen, but won't be quite as high (or peak as quickly) as with the carbs on their own. I still think people are better off with fewer grains at breakfast, though. If one wants some CHO in the morning, I'd stick with potatoes, possibly some fruit. (Your typical greasy spoon diner breakfast comes to mind: scrambled eggs w/bacon or sausage, [even better maybe a cheesy omelet], side of hash browns or home fries, but I'd skip the toast -- do the toast *or* the potatoes, but not both. Depending, of course, on body composition & overall health goals. And then, there's always room for just enjoying life and eating it all, unapologetically slathered in Heinz ketchup's HFCS goodness, as I am known to do once in a great while.)
