Question about when the stomach 'growls'
When you're stomach starts making the 'growling' noises, does this mean that your liver glycogen is empty?

No. There is no connection between 'stomach-hunger' and the 'direct need for energy', and also not for 'stored energy'.haraldsmith wrote:When you're stomach starts making the 'growling' noises, does this mean that your liver glycogen is empty?
The growling noises are caused when your stomach has been active, digesting food, and then the digested food is gone to the bowels, and the digestive juices are still in your stomach. If you just 'sit it through', the digestive juices in your stomach will decrease and the growling will stop.
But, that doesnt mean you should ignore your body's need for energy.
On the contrary. You just need to know where to listen to.
Not to your stomach. But to your blood energy levels; your energy level.
To what extend the glycogen depots are empty you can feel by flexing your muscles. If they feel powerful, you are not lacking glycogen. If they feel weak, there is probably not much glycogen in the muscles.
When the liver glycogen depot is (nearly) empty, you have become more sensitive to fluctuating blood energy levels.
