fat.
So, if I understand correctly, what you're saying is that when your body feels as though it's constantly stressed out, whether from exercise or some other stressor, what can happen is that it switches on pathways to develop insulin resistance so that, rather
than putting food stuff into, say, muscle storage or liver storage, you might actually create new
fat cells or put
glucose, you know, that has been converted into triglycerides, et cetera, into
fat cells so that your body has storage to rely upon in times of need even though you're not necessarily in a time of need.
As I explained above, the
fat adapted body is able to generate its
glucose needs from protein and
fats, and as long as you eat enough it has enough elements to make more

than the brain of an adult because the brain of an infant needs just slightly more

glucose needs compare to an adult which is why we bring that composition of breast milk down just slightly from the carb standpoint and then for growing adult we would slightly up the
fat and slightly up the protein.

fat more efficiently
than adults, and it appears that during exercise, this increased
fat oxidation serves as a mechanism to stop any drop in blood

You would think that our blood insulin levels would not spike because our blood
