Randle Cycle In Practice

[Momado965]

How does a meal containing 13% P, 32% F and 53% C work out in terms of the randle cycle?

 

[Julles]

this is a good question
By how much % of fat to sugar does it take in a meal to stop burning glucose?

 

[postman]

it will **** it up unless all of that fat is coming from MCT oil

and if you consume 50% Mct and 50% sugar?

and if you consume 50% Mct and 50% sugar?

that shouldn't cause a problem

 

[Hans]

Excess free fatty acids due to lipolysis will interfere with glucose oxidation, but if someone is insulin sensitive, insulin will shuttle the fat into adipose tissue and speed up glycogen synthesis and glucose oxidation, and then as insulin drops again, free fatty acids will be released again.
But eating too much fat with a meal might potentially cause problems, but it's highly individual.
In a healthy state, mixed meals shouldn't be a problem.
