Document Summary
Explanation: i found this quote to be really interesting. This quote really stuck out to me because it related to what i am learning about in my exercise physiology class. My professor was talking about the different fad diets there are, one of them being the paleo diet, and saying exactly why it doesn"t work to lose weight. It"s interesting because from a scientific standpoint this diet has really been proven to not work because of the simple saying fat burns in the presence of carbs". Basically, if a low level of carbs exist then pyruvate begins to build up, which is formed during glycolysis. If glucose isn"t present, pyruvate cannot do its job in the energy process and fat has nowhere to attach, so it slows the metabolism and lessens the body"s fat burning capability. I just found it really cool how this all related from my classes: https://journals-sagepub-com. proxy2. cl. msu. edu/doi/pdf/10. 1177/1073110518782942.
