Document Summary
Will rapidly use all cho stores in body, then can only utilize = fat use increases substantially. Sporting rationale: the increase in fat utilization should be allow you to exercise longer. This method will actually work if you exercise at low to moderate pace. But if you exercise >65% of max, will rely on cho only. Fasting does not work as aid to performance unless you are doing low intensity exercise. Beneficial weight loss but not to increase performance: 2. Shortened triglycerides absorbed directly into blood (not through lymphatic system first) Could be used to aid performance but not much evidence because these triglyceride will be metabolized by the liver and not the muscle. Therefore the muscle does not benefit from the faster absorption of triglycerides into the blood: 3. There are some benefits as long as cho intake is adequate. Increasing dietary fat over time to cause up-regulation in enzyme involved in forming atp from fat.
