Often common during endurance events: fainting, throwing up. If your body is low on glucose, amino acids can be turned into glucose via gluconeogenesis: your body needs protein to make. Organs, muscle, skin, enzymes, hormones, blood, everything: your body will steal protein from blood, organs and muscle to make glucose if necessary. Allows for the breakdown of fat: your body can"t metabolize fat without a little bit of carbohydrate to get it started.
