EB. 139: The Truth About the Randle Cycle: Why You Can Eat Carbs and Fats Together
In this episode we discuss:
How the Randle Cycle actually works
Whether eating carbs and fats in the same meal causes weight gain and insulin resistance
The efficiency of using fats as a fuel vs carbohydrate
How stress impacts fuel usage in the mitochondria
How to determine the optimal amount of carbs and fats in your diet
