“Intermittent fasting depletes the liver’s carbohydrate stores causing the body to switch to fats and ketones for energy. Time-restricted eating that includes a fasting period between 16 to 18 hours per day is sufficient for this metabolic switching.”

“However, when a person fasts or restricts carbohydrate intake, the body produces ketones from dietary and body fat for energy. One such ketone is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which has been shown to ameliorate low-grade inflammation and related diseases in mice.”

“About 5% to 10% of its calories come from carbohydrates, 60% to 65% from fat, and 30% from protein. In the American Heart Association diet, about 55% to 65% of calories come from carbohydrates, 15% to 20% from fat, and 20% to 30% from protein.”

“The diet the animals were fed contained 3.75 kcal/g of digestible energy with calories supplied by protein, carbohydrate, and fat in a percent ratio of 25:58:17.”

“Low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets are popular with adults looking to lose weight, but they also have therapeutic power for a growing list of diseases such as epilepsy, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and some cancers.”

“There are certain gene polymorphisms that increase the need for more dietary choline, which is high in eggs and in lemon tart! Carbohydrate content for entire Tart (9-in pan ~8 slices): total carb: 63.75g. net carb: 33.75g....”

“The female mice were fed two diets: (diet A: moderate-energy diet of 4.68 kcal/g, with 20% of calories from protein, 25% from fat, and 55% from carbohydrate; diet B: high-energy diet of 5.56 kcal/g, with 16% of calories from protein, 58% from fat, and 26% from carbohydrate).”

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains why observational studies of eggs depend heavily on what eggs replace. Replacing refined carbohydrate or processed meat can produce a different association than adding eggs to an already energy-dense diet.”

“Exercise does not replace dietary treatment for elevated ApoB or LDL cholesterol. Dr. Patrick emphasizes reducing saturated fat, especially in a pattern also high in refined carbohydrates, and improving overall food quality.”

“Digestion of carbohydrates begins when sweetness receptors in the mouth are activated, leading to the release of insulin and hormones that augment insulin metabolism, such as incretins.”
