However, these aren't separate things and it's not one or the other. Nor is Peat about blocking the beta oxidation. It's just about improving oxidative phosphorylation and limiting stress hormones, so krebs cyclus will move on and our glycolysis won't be hindered. The latter is very important for utilizing glucose to beneficial substances and wide range of effects. The increased CO2 per ATP for example, is really important for protein structure and pH.
All in all Peat is about favoring efficient energy production from glucose as seen in health and in low stress state.
I just don't have enough understanding of the details of aerobic metabolism to have a clue what you are talking about, and I don't understand Peat's point at all (still). This is the kind of thing we could resolve in a 15 minute face-to-face conversation but is much more difficult in this format.
Is Peat talking about how fat can in some circumstances prevent efficient use of glucose in krebs cycle and electron transport chain? And this effect is something totally different from the question of can fat be burned efficiently within krebs cycle and electron transport chain?
