Re: Re: Menopause, weight loss, exercise question

Does anybody have a chart showing how many calories are burned from

intramuscular triglycerides and muscle/liver glycogen throughout the day? What

about how many calories are burned through from various activities or with

resting metabolic heart rate?

How did I miss this? Sorry for the delay.

I was in your shoes. I do think it was hormonal. Basically I turned into a

fat-storing-around-the-middle machine.

What turned it around for me was following Kwasniewski-style low carb. The idea

of Kwasniewski is you get enough protein but no more, to give your liver and

adrenals a break. You get enough carb to stay out of hard ketosis, keep your

carb-burning enzymes, but little enough to force the production of fat burning.

And you have fat as your main macronutrient as it is hormonally easy on the bod.

Before, I always had plenty of protein. I now think it was too much and was

stimulating the cortisol-adrenal-insulin cascade.

And I didn't always have enough carbs in the form of simple starches. I would go

from nothing, to greens, to fruit. I now think that just overstimulated

gluconeogensis.

And I way didn't get enough saturated fat. I now think that got me stuck still

too much in sugar-burning, what with gluconeogenesis and the cortisol situation.

And I had too much fight-or-flight exercise, and not enough easy-does-it,

all-day-like-the-Amish exercise. Hard, short, intense. Stimulating cortisol,

adrenals, and not primarily fat burning (where did I think the glucose was

coming from?)

Anyhoo, I just love the results and feeling from this new protocol. It's working

too but not as fast as before.

Oh and I sleep 9+ hours a night. Like in " Lights Out. "

Just some ideas.

I would prefer a European source personally.

HI Connie,

How many carbs a day do you eat and in what form?
