James -> * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 13 2008 21:30:27)
This thread is dedicated to in depth discussion of dietary fats. We now have some excellent articles on this topic, and huge thanks to nigeepoo and Tony Barnes for their contributions. I'm hoping they will look in on this topic, should queries arise. The main purpose of this topic is to make people aware that we do have a number of articles on dietary fats and essential fatty acids (either from our main articles section, or from past editions of our newsletter The MuscleTalker). So before asking your question, please do make sure it's not answered in the articles. Essential Fatty Acids - an introuction to EFAs Think Fat - basic information on types of fat Good Fats, Bad Fats - information about the different types of dietary fat with their structure Edible Fats and Oils - brief information about all the major (and not so major) fats and oils which humans consume Everything you wanted to know About Coconut Oil Everything you wanted to know about flaxseeds & flaxseed oil Alternative Sources of Fish Oils Everything You Wanted To Know About Cholesterol & Coronary Heart Disease Fats in the Blood and Fats in the Body - Many people confuse dietary fats with fats in our diets

Should be a good thread this, I'll keep my head in and see what comes of it [:)]

I've heard people using the phrase 'fat-adapted' when discussing diet. Does the body undergo a physiological transition where the problems of lo-carb and keto diets for BBers and athletes no longer matter?

Nigeepoo -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 19 2008 18:33:21)
When serum ketone level becomes significant, tissues burn more ketone and less glucose. This reduces carb usage by the body when exercising aerobically. Anaerobic exercise still burns a lot of carbs. It takes a while (2 weeks, perhaps) for tissues to become acclimatised to running on ketone instead of glucose. Once acclimatised, the body runs fine.

fraser -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 19 2008 18:50:40)
What effect does this have on sports performance? Is it possible to perform at the same standard running on fats once your body has acclimatised?

Nigeepoo -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 19 2008 19:26:20)
Don't ask me....I don't have any sports performance! I've read that for ultra-marathons, fat-adaptation gives better results than carb-adaptation (as glycogen runs out but body-fat doesn't).

drewsky -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 21 2008 15:14:00)
What type of sport?

fraser -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 21 2008 22:28:29)
Didn't have a specific sport in mind drew... i've never been that enthusiastic about low carb diets to be honest! Just out of interest i'd be interested in the differences between a 'fat acclimatised individual' vs a 'carb acclimatised individual' in my main activities: weight-lifting, boxing and sprinting. I guess a lot of it is determined by their own substrate utilisation and overall cals, amongst other factors too [&:]

Nigeepoo -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 21 2008 23:29:57)
Weight-lifting, boxing and sprinting are all carb-hungry activities so you won't do so well on a low-carb/keto diet.

fraser -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 21 2008 23:34:51)
i can't get my head around it... if someone is totally acclimatised to fat-usage instead of carbs- can't they perform at the same level they would burning carbs? say...... a boxing inuit, for example [&:]

Nigeepoo -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 21 2008 23:36:44)
Anaerobic exercise always burns carbs....no matter how fat-adapted you are.

fraser -> RE: * The Dietary Fat Topic * (Apr. 21 2008 23:45:26)
So your body adapts to burn fat at certain heart-rates, but not above a certain point... i think
