Effects of Depleting Glycogen Stored in Muscles

The latest 2026 shows that there is no effect for people who are far adaptive. Can you compare with professor Tim from south africa research  results that proved that there is no difference in energy use in low carb athletes compared to normal carb athletes.  Professor Tim Noakes (Emeritus Professor of Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Cape Town, South Africa) has conducted landmark studies on low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) diets in competitive athletes. His work directly challenged decades of established sports nutrition dogma. When comparing energy use in low-carb (fat-adapted) athletes versus normal/high-carb (HCLF) athletes, Noakes’ research highlights three fundamental conclusions: 1. Total Energy Expenditure is Identical (Energy Cost of Work) To perform a specific physical workload (e.g., running at 15 km/h or at 85% \text{VO}_2\text{ max}), the body requires a fixed amount of total energy output per minute. No Efficiency Penalty: Noakes’ studies...

The dangers of Nasi Biryani and Tapai Nasi

Liver can store 100-120g of carb as glycogen. 200g of Biryani has 50g of net carb. Ketosis only occurs when the liver is 20% full, i.e. 20g glycogen left. If your intake of carb is low, you can deplete liver glycogen in 12 hours of fasting, such as when you sleep.  GI of tapai is 88. Biryani 52. GL of both are the same, 23. High GI promotes craving as insulin level can overshoot to low levels, causing lack of glucose. When you exercise, strength training uses muscle glycogen. Only after exercise will it use liver glycogen and absorb glucose directly. Light ecercise burns liver glycogen so promotes ketosis. Ketosis is important for overall health, lowering inflamation and reducing mental illness. What is the carb load of 200g of nasi biryani using basmati rice  A 200-gram serving of cooked Nasi Briyani (prepared with basmati rice) contains approximately 46 to 52 grams of total carbohydrates and 43 to 48 grams of net carbohydrates . In practical terms, 200 grams represents a...

Excessive Carbohydrates Lowers Happiness Index and Increase Suicide and Depression

 One fact is clear, happiness creates more chance to eat more, especially carbohydrates which create more suicide and depression. It is proven In the US.  Nordic nations is an anomaly, because the highest happiness does not contribute to more calories, that are mostly carb, but only moderate suicide and depression. Compared to global data, this is significant. Only US is an anomaly. The lowering of happiness, still significantly higher than global average, can be caused by higher suicide and depression caused by excessive carbohydrates. Here is the updated dataset comparing the United States and the Nordic nations , adding both total daily carbohydrate supply (in grams per day) and the percentage of daily calories derived from carbohydrates. National Metrics Comparison (Including Carbohydrate Data) Country World Happiness Rank Happiness Score (0–10) Daily Caloric Supply (kcal/day)* Daily Carbohydrate Supply (g/day)* Energy from Carbs (% of calories) Suicide Rate (per 100k) ...

French Press/Full Immersion/Kopi Kampung for Autophagy

Minum kopi O tanpa gula rupanya baik untik autophagy, iaitu pnyembuhan sel sel. French press ini serupa dengan cari Kopi di buat di kampung. Simpan air mendidih sajaja.  Cuma perlu di goreng sampai coklat saja, tidak boleh sampai hitam. Kisar pun sa halus yang boleh. Paling bagus Turkish coffee lah.  To extract the maximum amount of chlorogenic acid (CGA) from a light roast using a 500ml French press, you need high water temperatures, a high surface-area fine grind, and a long immersion time. However, brewing finely ground coffee in a French press presents two challenges: fine sediment clogging the mesh filter and cafestol (a lipid in coffee that elevates LDL cholesterol). The method below solves both while maximizing your polyphenol yield. Brew Parameters Coffee Dose: 30g (light roast, ground finely—similar to table salt or Aeropress size) Water Volume: 500ml Water Temperature: 95^\circ\text{C} - 98^\circ\text{C} (boiling water rested for 30 seconds) Target Extra...

How to Exploit Autophagy Drinking Coffee

You must drink coffee without any additive after fasting, such as when waking up. The best method is French Press brewed, Light Medium Roast, Finely ground coffee. How does coffee activate autophagy Coffee activates autophagy —the body's cellular recycling process that degrades damaged organelles and misfolded proteins—by mimicking the signaling pathways triggered by fasting or caloric restriction. This effect occurs within 1 to 4 hours after consumption across major organs (including the liver, heart, and muscle tissue). Key Biological Pathways Coffee contains a dense mix of bioactive compounds—primarily polyphenols (such as chlorogenic acid) and caffeine —that interact with cellular energy sensors to turn on autophagic flux: 1. Suppression of mTORC1 (Removing the Brake) The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) acts as the primary switch controlling cell growth. When nutrients are abundant, mTORC1 stays active and actively suppresses autophagy. Bioactive polyph...
