Rubicon · January 2017

Hello- have been aware of the whole fat adaptive approach for a while now but always dismissed it as, to be frank, i love carbs way too much to want to strive towards a LCHF diet. anyway, after some sports science testing it actually turns out that i am a super efficient fat burner anyway- so i don't need to change myself into one! however, having now discovered this, i wonder if there is a need to tweak my diet slightly- i eat a lot of carbs, but maybe i could cut them down- would this benefit me? or not, as i burn fat efficiently anyway? anyone have any experience of actually being fat adapted naturally as all the articles i keep finding online are how to get there in the first place.... cheers!

Hi Rubicon, basically if your over 15 % body fat for a male and 23% for a female you would get some beneficial body re-comp from reducing carbs. What's your daily carb intake now? There is a good thread a few pages back that would be worth looking at especially some of the YouTube and pod casts posted in it.

I would really be grateful too if you could share the results from your testing. TIA

What he said, how much fat are you burning "efficiently"?

You'd still be eating carbs but there'd be cycling or periodising of them - if you eat LCHF you just eat a whole heap less of them, and better quality carbs.

Howdy, Stranger!
