are the larger glycogen depots something that occur because they get used more often than the average person who doesn't participate in a lot of physical activity?

muscles store glycogen too? interesting.


i'm quite fascinated by glycogen lately and find it very useful.

thanks for the info RRM

i'm thinking that, in most cases, when you consume protein an hour or so before bed, you can just let your blood sugar drop off and any leftover glycogen that you haven't already released will get used up. if you need more energy after that, you can sip juice. i always have some left over to drink i...

summerwave,
at what temperature do you dehydrate at? what kind of dehydrator do you use?
do you glaze the pieces of meat with something or just dry them plain?

i'd like to make a bunch of jerky to freeze and save in case of a famine or societal breakdown of some sort.

don't worry RRM, you can borrow my hot air balloon. just make sure you bring it back in one piece.

btw...

a healthy heart and good cardio will be extremely important...

"had a resting heart rate of 28 beats per minute, one of the lowest ever recorded in a healthy human". How to somewhat maintain that in a healthy way? that's just bizarre to me. perhaps i'm wrong, but that just seems too low. most amateur runners do have a joint damaging technique, though. i think ...

thanks for pointing that out RRM. how could i forget to ask that!? you also lift weights right? that can give a good cardio workout, depending on what you are doing. all that walking is awesome for your heart, for sure. oscar, what is your activity level like? my mixed martial arts training is rathe...

how much glycogen can the liver hold?

is it possible for your liver to become completely full of glycogen?

if so... does your liver then just start releasing glycogen even if your blood sugar is up?

10 months

48 bpm

how long have you been on Wai?

what is you resting heart rate (heart beats per minute)?

so we know that freezing fish kills parasites... my room mate is wondering if it would kill any eggs that the parasites might have laid.

i say yes. what do you guys think?

cool, that helps a lot. i was definitely being shy with adding sugar.

thanks

so basically, if i just make sure my sipping is overlapping my energy needs i should store up enough glycogen for when my blood sugar drops? for example... typically sipping juice every 20 minutes is enough to just sustain energy levels. so, sipping every 12-15 minutes an hour before a long session ...

know where i can get cheap produce, fish, meats etc?... i just moved to Los Gatos, CA to train for MMA at the American Kickboxing Academy. everything is going great so far... i live a ranch/farm nestled in the mountains and have access to eggs and eventually some fruit trees. i've found a good place...
