[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 422233, member: 19121"] No that is incorrect Mireille, glycogen is stored in our muscles ready to be used for energy as and when required or for instant release in a fight or flight situation, it is stored glycogen (glucose) that is used in fight or flight situations and is triggered by the release of adrenalin. Providing a person has enough glycogen stored in their muscles ready for instant release it shouldnt mater what diet they eat. However fat is less effective ie slower to convert into glycogen than carbs which is why the human body looks for carbs to convert before fat raising considerable doubt in my mind that we were ever designed to utilise fat as an energy source, if that were the case surely our bodies would look for fat before carbs when seeking to produce glucose. Whether or not someone in ketosis has the same amount of stored glycogen than someone eating a normal diet I have no idea, if they dont then it would have an impact on the fight or flight reflex as it is the release of glycogen that fuels the explosive energy required to fight or flee.
