      82 or 83 is the target of Dr Richard Bernstein who knows better than anyone.
      I am not in the camp that below 70 is bad for a person who has been eating zero carbs for over 6 months. These people probably can burn carbs in the muscle.
      For myself, would eat once a day, zero net carbs, lots of animal protein at 9 pm, get up at 5:45am and work hard labor from 8 to 6, then hit gym as hard as possible from 7 to 8:30. No food until 9 pm. When I tested my blood glucose before the gym, I would be around 40. And during the gym workout I actually feel more energetic and stable than when I was in my early 20s and ate a balanced diet and more often throughout the day, including carbs, even when I would eat something before the gym. I had several incidents back then when I nearly fainted because my blood glucose dropped low at the gym. But this does not happen so long as I am ketone adapted. The myth is that you need to eat glucose. In reality, get keto adapted, and the liver will make exactly how much glucose you require-not less or more. It is plausible that high protein intake will require more exercise or gaps between the meals, so it can be fully utilized and not stored or become problematic. But the same is true for carbs, except the constant insulin spikes burn out the beta cells, and cause insulin receptors to become nose blind, including the blood brain barrier. This is where keto therapy could help some or the majority of Alzheimer’s patients.
      Humans have only been using glucose for the primary fuel for a half of one percent of human evolution, roughly 10,000 years of not being nomads who ran around chasing animals for food and clothing and tent materials. Modern dietology believes in a young earth, and recent split from chimps. 11.5 million years ago is what the DNA says.

    Correction... The brain uses 120 grams of glucose a day if It readily available . However, if it isn’t, the liver makes enough to use. Additionally, the oxidative priority of using glucose is first, but the brain doesn’t use it as efficiently as the secondary fuel. The secondary fuel, if glucose can be reduced, is ketones. Ketones also form ATP. They supply energy throughout the whole body. You can stay in ketosis during feeding states. Carbohydrates reduction will keep you in a healthy state of ketosis. Ketones can be produced when well fed.

    Statement 'Ketone bodies are only used by heart / brain' is FALSE. Ketone bodies are used inside muscle cells, specific in mitochondria to produce ATP.
    Gluconeogenesis is not driven by fatty acid or amino acids. It is driven by fatty acid and amino acids together. There is another kanacademy video which explains this much better.

    Well I’m using this info to loose weight. I’ve been lifting for 5 years and like most natty beginners fell into the “eat big to get big” trap that got me fat. I was always below 20% body fat, and over the 5 years slowly went from 140lbs-16-18bf, to 185lbs-26%bf. So now I didn’t think getting under 10% would be so fucking insanely hard.

    Definitely keto should be the standard for Alzheimer’s, first experiment. However, I suspect enough exogenous ketone supplements would be expensive unless government got involved in subsidies for ketone makers in the way they do corn growers. Ironically corn depletes B vitamins and could lead to brain damage, as constant glucose spiking.

      Keto dieters don't eliminate glucose from their blood - they eliminate the insulin spikes that are commonly associated with eating carb-rich foods. You, ideally should always have, 70-110 mg/dL of glucose in your blood.
      Keto dieters shouldn't be hypoglycemic, unless someone with diabetes who is taking medication is on keto. Then, it is likely they could become hypoglycemic.

    glycolisis isn't an irreversible process and it doesn't produce atp. It produces piruvate which then could be transformed back to glucose in a process called gluconegenesis. ATP is produces in the citric acid cycle which is irreversible.

  • @AhmedEkri
    @AhmedEkri Před 9 lety +6

    They say that glycolysis is irreversible which is wrong, isn't it? Liver and Kidneys can reverse glycolysis because they have Glucose-6-Phosphatase in their ER while other cells don't. So it is reversible in these cells, but not in other cells, because of the absence of this enzyme which can convert Glucose-6-Phosphate into pure Glucose (Reversing first step of glycolysis/glycogenesis).

      Glycolysis is irreversible in the sense that you can´t reverse it just by repeating the same steps backwards. Also there are at least 2 or 3 steps that you can't reverse easily besides the Glucose-6-phosphatase step.

    • @MrSaltogpepper
      @MrSaltogpepper Před 6 lety

      The reversible reaction of glycolysis is gluconeogenesis. The processes that converts ADP to ATP og ATP to ADP are irreversible in glycolysis, therefore the body use different enzyme that makes those steps reversible. Glycolysis is not reversible in total, but the almost alike reversible reaction is called glyconeogenesis.

    Hope to hear from you guys.
    I don’t know who to consult with. Regular doctor don’t understand metabolism.
    Thank you very much.

    Restricting carbohydrates you can maintain ketone bodies presence and eat. The processed carbohydrates are a fairly recent phenomena.

    • @JacobHoman
      @JacobHoman Před 6 lety

      Found the answer: "Ketone bodies cannot be used as fuel by the liver, because the liver lacks the enzyme β-ketoacyl-CoA transferase, also called thiophorase."

      @@JacobHoman The Liver is the organ that creates the Ketone Bodies from Fatty Acids.
      Ketone bodies are readily transported into tissues outside the liver and converted into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle and is oxidized in the mitochondria for energy.
      Thus, the Liver, in the presence of low glucose, can produce an alternative source of energy for the body by using fatty acids with ketones. This has always been the pathway used during Fasting periods. It's a normal function of our bodies.

  • @ratnadeep221192
    @ratnadeep221192 Před 6 lety +1

    I have a question to ask here. some amino acids like Arginine, Leucine, Glutamine etc increases insulin where they are ot contain any carbs. so will the released insulin work to lead gluconeogenesis or glycogenolysis?

    • @Athenas_Realm_System
      @Athenas_Realm_System Před 6 lety

      Ratnadeep Paithankar no, Insulin works to reduce blood glucose level, if insulin is high then gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis is decreased, instead glycogenesis and fatty acid synthesis is more likely to occur. Glucagon is the hormone that increases gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis as it is trying to increase blood glucose.

  • @stickystar101
    @stickystar101 Před 6 lety +5

    This video makes a very strong case for low carb diets. If protein can make glucose and ketones can provide energy to the brain, then you technically do not need carbohydrates. Thanks a lot!

    • @xxtravisxxify
      @xxtravisxxify Před 5 lety

      We need carbs if we need quick reaction of fullfilling our energy needs. Like if you go to gym and do some muscle work you may need carbs in order to get this work done, otherwise it would take a long time to feed your muscles therefore you can't lift weights in a small amount of time. If you take carbs too much that's bad either because they will become fat. So the answer to you is, yes you need carbs, especially if you are working your muscles (including walking), but depends on how extreme that thingy is. If you don't workout or even move at all, you will still need some carbs but definently the less amount. Otherwise it'll take a long time to wait protein and fat fulfill your body's energy requirement. Think like this it's a PSU on computers.

    I thought that glycolysis was reversible in some cells? Via gluconeogenesis. Is this correct?

    • @HimalShrestha
      @HimalShrestha Před 7 lety +4

      Gluconeogensis is not the exact reversal of glycolysis. There are some irreversible steps in Glycolysis that needs to be bypassed, for gluconeogenesis to occur.
