There is no way.

that I'm getting my clothes in that small little carry-on.

So of course I close it and this is representation of muscle.

I close the suitcase and everything's everywhere.

I cannot get any more clothes in that suitcase.

Muscle is the same.

So if you are not training

and doing you know both resistance training and cardiovascular both have two different impacts but if you are not dumping that muscle glycogen and utilizing that fuel then when you are eating and opening up your suitcase and stuffing more clothes in there you've not emptied the first trip out and so

Glucose, fatty acids, brown chain amino acids remain in the bloodstream.

They have nowhere to go.

Eventually, it'll get stored as adipose tissue or some, you know, it will have to be disposed of.

And so, you know, back to your original question, low carbohydrate diets, let's debunk it.

Is it good for everybody?

It's not necessary for everybody.

it be helpful yes but i think an even bigger more important conversation is how do we eat for muscle health and how do we define muscle health and how do we begin to think about it so if you are over consuming carbohydrates and let's say you're not even over consuming them but you have done nothing your muscle is already full your muscle glycogen is full

So as you're in an overnight fast, maybe you're using some liver glycogen, but liver glycogen stores are probably 100 grams.

Not much.

So the other point that you made is carbohydrates, they ride along with fiber, also very good.

Phytonutrients, nutrients and things that we don't get from animal-based products.

I think that that's really important.
