Document Summary
Saturated and unsaturated fats: saturated fats are bad mostly, some unsaturated fats are bad too though, some fats are indispensible. If the ratio of good and bad fats gets out of whack. Summarization of last day: any time there s a double bond between the 2 carbons, that makes it an unsaturated fat. If the hydrogens associated with that double bond are on different sides. Fats are made up of a glycerol backbone and 3 fatty acids. Glycerol: used as a food supplement to enhance performance, attained/made in the diet, also made in body when you eat other things. Cho one of the intermediates can be turned into glycerol: you can form glucose from glycerol. If you are to supplement with glycerol, you can convert this to glucose if cho is limiting to your performance: when you consume a large amount of water with glycerol.
