[QUOTE="diamondnostril, post: 421759, member: 63791"] Hi Mireille, Interesting question :D My understanding is that a fight or flight response in the human body will be stimulated by the release of hormones. At the very lowest level (inside the body's cells) all inputs will end up being converted to ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) before the body can utilize them as energy. My feeling is that if the raw materials have been provided (CHO/PRO/FAT in whatever combination you have chosen) then the hormone release will stimulate the prioritized use of those materials for fight or flight. I think (though I'm sure many others disagree) that Ketosis would have been a natural state for many humans during our evolutionary history, if/when our diet was based mainly on animal fats, supplemented by fruits if/when they were available. I assume that fight or flight situations would have occurred just as frequently when fruits were, and were not, available. Therefore I assume that the fight or flight response is just as effective if you are in or out of Ketosis. This is just speculation on my part. The closest I have come to a fight or flight situation since I have been on a Ketogenic diet is running to catch my train. Hardly comparable, but I do not seem to have any problems with a panicked short sharp dash. Really interested to read the thoughts of others on that question . . . Regards, Antony [/QUOTE]
