Honestly, my increased metabolic flexibility really does seem to give me more flexibility; I can fast for 24 - hours traveling to Greece, get there and indulge in much higher
carb consumption than my baseline with fewer ill effects than with past
carb binges, and generally
allow for much more intuitive eating instead of regimented eating.
Consumption of excessive simple
carbs allow our digestive system to process it faster and convert it into sugar; thus, every bit of simple
carb that we fail to burn are stored as fat reserves in the body.
