Sentences with phrase «use less glucose»

With such lenghts, the body is certainly using less glucose and brain ketone usage can go much higher then 60 % — I have seen values up to 80 %.

Not exact matches

If Lsd1 is inhibited in mice, the animals» cells take up more glucose, their capacities to convert glucose into energy increases, and they use less fatty acid, for example.

The less you sleep, the less able you are to metabolize, or use, the glucose that is being released.

More muscle mass increases metabolic rate so you burn calories more effectively, and it helps you to use glucose better resulting in less insulin needing to be secreted.

It's a great weight loss tool: the more fat you eat, and the less carbs, the more your body uses STORED FAT as an energy source instead of sugar / glucose.

Once you drop the percentage of carbs from your diet, your body will enter in a state of KETOSIS, start producing KETONES and will use your fat as a source of energy because there is no more glucose to use.Keep in mind that eating less carbs doesn't mean that you don't eat anything else - you will loads and loads of healthy fats and moderate amount of protein to keep your going.

Let's remember that protein is composed of complex molecules that the body must work hard to break down, and on a ketogenic regimen when less sugar and more protein is eaten, the body uses energy taken from stored fat (not glucose) to digest the proteins, and that's how we lose weight.

Adhering to these traditional concepts the US Department of Agriculture has concluded that diets, which reduce calories, will result in effective weight loss independent of the macronutrient composition, which is considered less important, even irrelevant.14 In contrast with these views, the majority of ad - libitum studies demonstrate that subjects who follow a low - carbohydrate diet lose more weight during the first 3 — 6 months compared with those who follow balanced diets.15, 16, 17 One hypothesis is that the use of energy from proteins in VLCKD is an «expensive» process for the body and so can lead to a «waste of calories», and therefore increased weight loss compared with other «less - expensive» diets.13, 18, 19 The average human body requires 60 — 65 g of glucose per day, and during the first phase of a diet very low in carbohydrates this is partially (16 %) obtained from glycerol, with the major part derived via gluconeogenesis from proteins of either dietary or tissue origin.12 The energy cost of gluconeogenesis has been confirmed in several studies7 and it has been calculated at ∼ 400 — 600 Kcal / day (due to both endogenous and food source proteins.18 Despite this, there is no direct experimental evidence to support this intriguing hypothesis; on the contrary, a recent study reported that there were no changes in resting energy expenditure after a VLCKD.20 A simpler, perhaps more likely, explanation for improved weight loss is a possible appetite - suppressant action of ketosis.

The GI variable in the WHI was applied to available carbohydrate (total carbohydrate less fiber), and glucose was used as the reference food.

But this invasive way of monitoring blood glucose levels might soon be history and diabetes patients might be able to track their blood glucose levels using less invasive ways — using smartwatches such as Fitbit Ionic and the upcoming Apple Watch Series 3.
