Sports dietitians recommend yoghurt as the perfect recovery food for athletes as it is easy to consume and contains carbohydrates, which promote glycogen replenishment, and protein, which aids muscle recovery.

Why you would: Ordinarily exercise uses a combination of glycogen (carbohydrates) and fat as fuel, but according to a recent study published in Sports Medicine, exercising in a fasted or glycogen - depleted state causes adaptations in the body's fat - oxidising abilities, causing the body to use fat for fuel.

I was at the top of my game, intermittent fasting and in intermittent ketosis, where I would dip into a keto state for most the week but then have a couple carb - load meals to replenish glycogen levels and teach my body to use both glucose and ketones for energy as best as I could.

Namely, their bodies use the muscles» glycogen stores for energy and their bodies start to keep the fat as a safety survival measure.

The most rational way to take weight gainers is about 30 min to an hour after your workout, as this is the time when your body needs the carbs to restore glycogen and protein for muscle recovery.

This is because high GI carbohydrates increase blood glucose quickly and stimulate more insulin - the hormone responsible for storing glucose as glycogen.

If you don't have diabetes, starch in brown rice and potato will be broken down and converted to individual molecules of glucose, which will then make their way into your bloodstream to provide energy or be stored as glycogen or fat for later use.

However, a mild walk for 20 to 30 minutes before breaking your fast will burn fat as that's the point where your body will try to save glycogen and will switch to fats and ketones.

More glucose than what the body needs for energy or glycogen is converted to triglycerides in the liver and stored as a more permanent energy storage compound — body fat.

One study demonstrated that taking Glutamine during or after a workout, stimulates and increases glycogen synthesis as effective as taking a high dose of carbs.The study showed that taking an 8 - gram glutamine solution after an intense workout was as equally effective as taking 60 grams of carbohydrates for restoring muscle glycogen.The combination of glutamine and carbohydrates (glycose) was even more effective than glutamine or carbohydrates separately.

-- The reason this diet differs from other diets that rely on carbohydrate manipulation, is the fact that the high / moderate carb days are so important for the muscles as it helps to flood them full of glycogen.

Insulin signals body cells to uptake glucose for energy, stimulates the formation of glycogen, and stimulates the conversion of glucose to triglycerides to be stored as fat.

After training the glycogen levels in our muscles can drop, as it's used for fuelling the muscles.

If not enough carbohydrate is consumed to maintain blood glucose levels for the brain, nervous system, and developing red blood cells the breakdown of glycogen for glucose results in a loss of water, which many interpret as weight loss.

Low intensity cardio is most effective when it's done in the morning on an empty stomach or right after a weightlifting workout when the levels of glycogen in the body are low.This forces the body to burn stored fat as fuel for your cardio session.

This way the body will not have excess carbohydrates that can be stored as glycogen, so even light activities will burn fat.Many diets are built around the idea of reduction of carbs — just take the Atkins diet for example (lots of protein and fats, but almost no carbs)
