- What the lipidstudy did was to see if adding nutrition in the form of fats modified the adaptation (e.g. just the body sensing calories). It didn't. An amino acid only infusion would be another interesting study to have done.
- ....when I say LC puts you in "starvation mode" it is because all of the adaptive mechanisms that kick in during longer fasts are the very same ones that do with severe carb restriction. Increased NEFA (fat mobilization), insulin resistance, ketones enhanced, gluconeogenesis and glyceroneogenesis enhanced, de novo lipogenesis decreased.
