The Disappearance of the Fasted State
As I stated in the beginning of this book, from a nutritional point of view, a
human being can only be fed or fasted. By saying this, I mean that we are either in
the process of eating and storing the calories that come from our food, or burning
these same calories as we burn stored energy. This energy is stored in the form of fat
and glycogen (the storage form of sugars and carbohydrates in our bodies).
Our bodies are designed to eat food when food is available and use the calories we
have stored as fat when food is scarce. These are our only two options. Consider them
the Yin and Yang of nutrition and health.
FED - Eating and storing Calories
FASTED - Not eating and burning Calories.
