[QUOTE="andcol, post: 652381, member: 96315"] One of the main things it does is change the balance of AMP to ATP in the liver. AMP is used by the liver to convert glucose into glycogen for storage and ATP is used to convert glycogen into glucose when your body needs it. Normally the body maintains these chemicals in a 1:1 ratio and depending on the amount of met you are taking you can change this to up to a 4:1 ratio. Changing this ratio is a slow process and doesn't happen overnight and that is why it can take weeks. Both of these chemicals are used in the body for other processes as well - for example processing lactic acid by the heart when you are exercising. [/QUOTE]
