I truly hope it works that way, Orion. What you said about the switch to sugar oxidation once you offload stored PUFAs was very helpful for me. But what about before you restore sugar metabolism - how can you selectively burn off your sat fat stores while harmlessly excreting the accumulated PUFA? Do I understand the Randle cycle correctly - does it refer to the competitive metabolism of glucose versus fat(any type), or does it refer to the competitive metabolism of glucose versus PUFA only?
Definitely not an expert on this, but you need vitamin E to properly utilize/excrete PUFA. Once PUFA is depleted RP has stated that vitamin E is no longer require, as it is not essential, but useless say after dinner out where PUFA is unavoidable. Ideally you won't start burning off SFA until PUFA is depleted, PUFA is the choke hold on metabolism. As PUFA is depleted, T4 is transported properly, as is vitamin A(along with cholesterol increasing protective steroids), PUFA interferes with pancreas and insulin, depleting PUFA gets you off stress hormones as long as you avoid excessive starch and muscle meat. PUFA depletion then energizes the liver, stores more glycogen, it can remove estrogen rapidly, it converts T4 to T3. I think its just best to go zero fat and start the process, obese or older people will take longer, children might take a couple weeks. Few members on here have posted one to two months and feeling much better, some have stuck with as they feel great with this approach. I am just over three weeks now, and experiencing the good effects, most noticeable with my skin
RP has mentioned animal studies where they are on zero fat diets but fed high quality calories, those animals have superior resistance to stress, and are very hard to kill. PUFA is UN-essential.
