I've been doing the Glucomannan thing for about 2 months now and have lost about 8 lbs, and I'm not dieting at all. I do believe in the no carb thingy. I don't think humans need carbs at all. But fiber is another thing.

@Leshutchens4 We're really not designed to handle a lot of refined carbs, especially from grains. Vegetables provide adequate fiber without placing a large carbohydrate load on the body. Good luck with your weight loss goals.

@adamyoung158 1. High protein foods also stimulate glucagon release which balances insulin, with carbs, the insulin release is not balanced by glucagon. 2. There's nothing wrong with insulin in appropriate levels - in fact, it's quite necessary for health. The problem is that excess refined carbs trigger an insulin release that is far in excess of what can be balanced by fat-burning hormones, thereby leading to dramatically impaired fat-burning.

@DrGeorgeBest Well if this video is about how excess insulin prevents fat burnign 1. low carb diet still release insulin, sometimes more than higher carb foods. Beef is very insulin releasing for example, so too are fish, eggs and cheese evern though they have bsically no carbs.

2. What's wrong with insulin, altough it limits fat loss it also limits muscle loss. insulin just puts a brake on energy being burned from fat stores, and thus increases blood energy oxidadtion so less of it is stored

@adamyoung158 I'm not sure how that favors your position since your original question had to do with where the extra calories were coming from if not from stored fat (I think you've now answered that yourself). But I think we're starting to get a bit off-topic. This video deals with the concept that excess refined carbohydrate intake will stimulate insulin release that will block fat burning. Ultimately I think each person needs to test it for themselves and see how it works for them.

@DrGeorgeBest i apologise.

a deficit from fasting/dieting or plain muscle use. The hole created by using the muscle glycogen is replenished more readily than fat stores when consuming carbohydrates. It is a more complex procedure to turn glucose into fat than to turn it into glycogen and the body works much more efficently to replenish glycogen (more enrgy is lost during conversion to fat so it is the last resort for the body.

ok, getting more interesting. But surely genetics would determine whether or not the energy used for metabolism comes from lean body mass or fat stores, also how low the persons body fat is already. I accept that in some rare circumstances a lower carb diet may be more apporpiate but this is very rare.

Regarding muscle metabolism, this argyment only goes in my favour as higher intakes of cars would more likely be stored in the muscle glycogen stores than fat stores, especially after creating

@adamyoung158 Again, I didn't delete anything. YouTube just put it further down the list - see below.

@adamyoung158 "just makes it more complicated". That's my point exactly. It's far more complicated than your equation of calories in = fat stores (or now revised to fat + glycogen stores). If you really want to see some crazy math, look at an individual who diets and exercises like crazy and their percent body fat INCREASES. I'm sure that you'll say that's impossible, yet it happens. In that case, lean body mass is consumed as fat stays the same (so relative percentage increases).
