Not exact matches

glycogen or whatever.
When your glucose levels are low, such as when you haven't eaten in a while, the liver breaks down the stored glycogen into glucose to keep your glucose levels within a normal ra
When your glucose
levels are low, such as

glycogen into glucose to keep your glucose
levels within a normal range.
When blood glucose
levels are high, hepatocytes respond to insulin by increasing
glycogen storage, decreasing gluconeogenesis, and decreasing glycogenolysis.
Conversely,
when blood glucose
levels are low, hepatocytes respond to glucagon and glucocorticoids by decreasing
glycogen storage and producing glucose via gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
Glycogen has a vital role in pulling water towards your muscle fibers so
when it's not there, water
levels in your muscles are depleted, making it look like your precious muscles are shrinking.
Flat muscles are actually a good indicator that your
glycogen stores are being used and
when they reach a certain low
level, the body starts burning fat as well.

glycogen stores may be necessary in the morning or afternoon
when your blood glucose is at a fasted
level.

glycogen, which is your body's reserve energy source which is activated
when you have low glucose
levels.
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.

glycogen levels.
Mornings are
when your body has reduced
glycogen (carb)
levels meaning that you will burn fat faster.
While it is clear that unrefined carbs are just as effective as refined high - GI carbs at enhancing recovery and restoring
glycogen levels over a 24 hour period, there are certainly times
when a simple high - GI shake is warranted.
And this is a key differentiator
when it comes the importance of carbohydrates and performance: Carbohydrates, specifically muscle
glycogen, provide a very fast source of energy, making it possible for an athlete to perform at peak
levels during intense exercise.
When you restrict your carb intake, your muscle
glycogen levels drop, and research shows that low
glycogen stores inhibits genetic signaling related to post-workout muscle repair and growth.
When you're dieting and reducing calories and losing weight, your
glycogen levels drop.
This is because
when you lower the amount of carbohydrates in your diet, you're also lowering your
glycogen levels, which is the default energy source for muscles during workouts, and
when glycogen is lacking, so is performance.
Initially,
when you start following a low - carb diet, your
glycogen levels go down and you lose water.
When the blood sugar
levels drop below 80 mg / dl the body responds by kicking out some cortisol which tells the body to break the
glycogen (stored sugar) in the muscle and liver in order to get more sugar into the bloodstream.
When levels are too high, the pancreas signals to your liver (by using the blood's favorite gang sign, insulin) that it needs to convert the excess fructose into
glycogen.
Since
when your
glycogen stores (carbs) are depleted, leptin
levels increase which help regulates appetite.
I slowly built up my
level of training volume focusing on anaerobic activities because the whole magic of metabolism in my view is
when glycogen stores are not completely full.
When your blood sugar, stored carbs / glycogen & insulin levels are lower from fasting you'll naturally burn more fat for energy (without any extra dieting or exercise) so guess what happens when you exercise while you're fastin
When your blood sugar, stored carbs /
glycogen & insulin
levels are lower from fasting you'll naturally burn more fat for energy (without any extra dieting or exercise) so guess what happens
when you exercise while you're fastin
when you exercise while you're fasting...
Well, that increased sensitivity to insulin means
when we actually put the carbs back IN, your body will immediately crank up insulin production in order to grab and store (in the form of
glycogen) every scrap of carbohydrate it can find, above and BEYOND what it was holding before... up to 1.5 times the
level of
glycogen it normally holds.
A: Yes because the first two weeks of carb depletion is
when a lot of water weight loss occurs as the liver begins to deplete its
glycogen levels.
The reason is that
when you're finished with an intense workout, you're entering a catabolic state where your muscle
glycogen is depleted and increased cortisol
levels are beginning to excessively break down muscle tissue.
There is also some evidence to suggest that
when resistance training is undertaken whilst muscle
glycogen levels are low there may be a corresponding reduction in the benefits of the training with respect to muscle development.
Studies have shown that
when you wear compression gear during a hard workout, your performance in subsequent workouts may be better than if you hadn't worn the compression gear — possibly because the increased blood flow from compression helps to restore muscle
glycogen levels and to clear metabolic waste.
With regard to my energy
level I noticed that I just felt better during intense workouts on the 1 or 2 days following the Carb Nites
when my
glycogen stores were replenished.
Some additional science: research suggests that training promoting high
levels of lactate stimulate cellular swelling and will tax
glycogen reserves, resulting in further swelling
when that glyocgen gets replenished.
If you're training hard, it's often easy to let your
glycogen levels drop
when you cut calories.
When you need to pull from those stored
glycogen levels depends on your exercise intensity, your exercise duration, and your overall health and fitness.
