Re: What you eat after exercise matters

[Guest guest]

This is a great study.

One of the things I have been reading about is metabolic efficiency - or eating

in a way that matches how or what form of energy store your body burns. This is

done in conjunction with exercise, and is a process of retraining the body to

burn fat stores rather than glycogen (carbohydrate) stores. There are far

higher stores of fat in our bodies than glycogen.

Both this study and the concept of metabolic efficiency point to the same thing

- what we eat matters, and also exercise improves our ability to burn and use

food. All good common sense stuff.

Thanks Gretchen for circulating this type of research. I appreciate it!
