“The high-fat pork meal also stimulated synthesis, by about 64 percent, but this smaller gain was statistically similar to the carbohydrate condition, which showed only a non-significant 40 percent rise from baseline.”

“##Fat oxidation isn't exclusive to zone 2 training. "The most crucial adaptation in muscle is increasing mitochondrial content, which will allow a greater fat and carbohydrate oxidation capacity.".”

“The researchers recruited 30 participants (average age, 33 years) without type 2 diabetes and asked them to follow an individualized diet plan that provided 50 to 65 percent of calories from carbohydrates for up to eight weeks.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that the timing of food intake plays important roles in metabolic regulation and circadian rhythmicity. For example, eating a large, carbohydrate-rich meal late in the evening impairs glucose tolerance and insulin secretion, contributing to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.”

“The men's diets were classified as low fat, low carbohydrate, Mediterranean, or non-restrictive. Men who ate a low fat or Mediterranean diet had lower testosterone levels on average than men who ate a non-restrictive diet.”

“As people become more fit, their muscles shift from burning carbohydrates (glucose) to burning fat. So researchers assumed that endurance is a function of the body's increasing ability to burn fat, though details of the process have been murky.”

“These findings suggest that dietary fiber protects against muscle loss in older adults. Sources of dietary fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. People who follow a lower carbohydrate diet might find getting enough fiber challenging.”

“They found that molecular changes occurred in two massive bursts rather than gradually, with changes in cardiovascular health, lipids, and alcohol metabolism appearing around 44 years of age, followed by shifts in crucial biological processes such as immune regulation and carbohydrate metabolism around 60 years.”

“About three months into the study period, they completed a three-day diary of their typical dietary intake. The food diaries revealed that, in general, the teens ate fewer healthy fats and carbohydrates than recommended, but more sugar than recommended.”

“Consuming carbohydrates influences hormone balance through their effects on insulin (insulinogenic signaling), which helps regulate levels of active (free) hormones like insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)—a hormone important for growth and repair processes.”
