The insulin will act as a transport mechanism for the carbohydrates shuttling them directly into the muscle cells where they will be stored as glycogen.

This provides a slow release of sugar into the bloodstream, allowing for the carbs to be stored in the muscle cells as glycogen.

Glycogen is broken into glucose (glycogenolysis) and new fat is degraded for energy.

Ben: Yeah, I would toss the exception in there for me personally and the way I kinda hack this is I will drink my alcohol in a relatively glycogen depleted state, meaning that the liver does contain the enzyme necessary for converting fructose into storage glycogen.

Once you use up glycogen, the body burns fat stores, turning them into ketone bodies for energy.

The idea of IF is to go without food for a sufficient period of time so that you deplete your immediate energy sources, ie your blood glucose and liver glycogen stores, and your body is forced into fat - burning mode.

If the body doesn't use up this stored glycogen, the liver converts it into fat to make room for new glycogen.

Our liver utilizes water in the process of converting glycogen into glucose for energy.

Insulin's job is to stuff food energy (sugar) into the liver for storage (glycogen).

If we already have low glycogen due to low carb dieting, then you are halfway there to tapping into your bodies fat reserves, and burning ketones for energy.

It pulls glucose from the blood and fritters it away into our cells to be burned for energy or stored as glycogen.

The glucose is thus used for glycogen formation in liver and muscles, andit then used either as a short - term energy source, or it is transformed into fat that represents a long - term energy source.

Eat Plenty of Carbs Carbohydrates are your energy source, simple - carbohydrates (i.e. fast digesting) are great for post-workout because they'll spike your insulin - levels and drive glycogen into the muscles.

When blood sugar drops and glycogen stores are burned up, the body begins to convert fat into ketones for energy.

\ u003cbr \ u003eA: SizeOn ¨ Maximum Performance contains the revolutionary OUTLAST carbohydrate complex for maximal performance in the gym and recovery and it contains pterostilbene - our patent pending, naturally occurring insulin secretagogue - which helps to push those carbohydrates (and amino acids and other nutrients) into skeletal muscle cells to maximize glycogen synthesis, cell volumization and myogenesis.

They're so starved for glucose that they are able to take the carbohydrates you eat and convert them into glycogen without any help from insulin.

For example, due to higher density of mitochondria and more capillaries feeding into muscle, trained endurance athletes rely less on muscle glycogen and plasma glucose and more on fats as an energy source during any given resting or exercise intensity.

For someone like me who is NOT FAT and NOT OVERWEIGHT (pardon the emphasis on those words as I feel so left out in this obesity obsessed world) and who wants to put on weight, mass, bulk, muscle — HOW can I be successful in that attempt if I don't eat enough carbs to pump glycogen into the muscles on a regular basis?

First, we break glycogen down into glucose for energy.

Actually, one of the first things I do if I go overboard with carbs / fruit for a few consecutive days is to do a full 24 hour fast to burn of the excess glycogen and kick start getting back into fat burning mode.

If the glycogen available in the liver is exhausted, the body turns to the muscles for protein, amino acids to convert into glucose.

Glycogen is the body's auxiliary energy source, tapped and converted back into glucose when there is need for energy.

NOTE: Glucose that is not taken up by cells for energy use is either converted in the liver into glycogen and stored for later use or is stored as fat.

With post-workout meals, you actually want a faster digesting carbohydrate source to elicit an insulin response, which surges nutrients and glycogen back into your muscles for repair.

When we enter into a state of «fight or flight», digestion and nutrient absorption is halted (often including our ability to go to the bathroom or creating a need to «flush» waste from the body), our senses are heightened, and the liver releases glycogen as fuel for our muscles to be able to react quickly — even if we are sitting at our desks!

When needed, glycogen is broken back into glucose for easy access to energy.

The body can not handle such a high amount of glucose in the blood, and so insulin is released to shuttle that glucose into either muscle glycogen, or convert it into fat for energy later if glycogen stores are full.
