Anyone who appreciates science and examines the evidance soon relizes that human metabolism must obey the law of conservation of energy as does everything else.
The other school argues that certain foods or combinations namely the elimination of carbs and the replacement of fats and protiens have special qualitires, calories arent a critical factor in this equation.
If you can find 100 people on the same diet, with the same activity level that get the same results I would love to see this.
If science is so important then you would understand the human body isn't as straight forward as you believe.....
Again no they are not. They are very different as energy sources.
People in general are not that different. It's more how they live their lives that make them different, activity levels ect.
from what i understand very basically, and please feel free to correct me;
your blood carries about 3 minutes worth of Glucose but the brain needs a continuous supply.
The liver works constantly to keep up with the demand?
The liver can store around 12 hours of glucose, the main reason one should eat breakfast and include Carb's.
After an overnight fast the liver is deficient in stored glucose to parcel out for your brain, breakfast and a mid-morning snack does the trick.
The outcome is the feeling weak and or dizzy condition.
Hence my Carb's for building comment.
If what I'm doing is so terrible for active people can you explain why an increasing number of athletes are using low carb diets? Just today the Melbourne Football Club announced it would be their diet advice issued to players in pre-season. Half the Australian cricket team, Le Bron James and Gary Ablett are all converts to the methods and science behind the catalyst episode in the OP.
So despite some of the highest paid athletes in the world finding success with LCHF you're still adamant it's detrimental to performance?
It's no shock that high fat diets are being picked up by more people/more athletes - as I have mentioned if done right then fat can be used as a much better long term energy source - I don't believe they would do a true true keto diet - as I believe for an athlete sometimes some fast acting carbs are needed - but yes it is def becoming more popular as people learn about and see the benefits of getting most of your fuel from fat and protein.
As showdownhero mentioned the whole eating carbs at breakfast to get blood sugar levels up etc has been debunked as bro science already - ay I am huge into bro science but I think people underestimated glycogen storage - you need to do alot more than sleep for 12 hours to truly deplete it.
the usa olympic gymnastics team also used keto for the 2 weeks leading into the last oly...
yeah, they don't know wtf they doing. but you do bazza! LOL
i am pretty sure i heard this morning Melbourne FC were following a paleo diet not a LCHF diet

Even though Dolce is a bit of a looney and I don't follow him that closely, he has helped a lot of fighters who have struggled in the past to either keep weight down or make weight for their fights. no whether this is because of his methods or it is just that the fighters are now following a more structured diet instead of eating everything in site after their training sessions, we do not know....

What is their definition of a low carb diet though? The average person would be eating 70% of their macros from carbs. So even dropping that to 50% would be considered low carb.
Most people who actually pay attention to their diet and train would be eating 50% of less already. Personally I eat around 30%. I don't consider myself as eating low carbs, but the average 'TV nutritionist' would. It's almost like everyone is arguing to make the same point.
It would definitely help if we knew what 'low carb' referred to.
