Within the last few weeks I remember I posted a brief comment on carb-usage
being related to temperature, body temperature and the effects of different
intensities of exercise (aerobic being light & more anaerobic being heavier) on
carbohydrate (glucose/BS) fuel usage. We’ve discussed this at greater length in
posts way back.. like ‘02.
It’s like an aspiring Super-O who wants to lose weight… they might be good
enough to lift weights (i.e. weight training) but they don’t re-fuel their
muscle tissues sufficiently for optimum exercise performance (i.e. athletic
performance i.e. physical performance) and so they can’t exert their muscles
hard enough to really stress their muscles in that way (i.e. anaerobically) so
their workout performance suffers, the optimum positive physical stress is not
achieved, they don’t provoke a dramatic enough growth response from their body
and they sabotage their ability to ramp up (i.e. elevate) their metabolism and
facilitate fat-loss. Harder to get into fat-burning mode if you haven’t stressed
the body enough for the building phase to make a better burning metabolic

engine. There’s more to it than this, actually I don’t think I’ve discussed the
essence of how this may/most likely does work. It’s complex. I merely provided
the link to an article a few times to let everyone find out for themselves the
real neat part of the exercise thing in conjunction with healthy weight loss.
My point is, you can read as many books as you like about ideal macronutrient
ratios (Sears’ “Zone”, low-carb books, USDA pyramid, etc. etc.) and be wrong.
You can even be among the metabolic elite as a blood-type dieter who understands
more of the basic genetics for WHY people can experience different results from
the same dietary regimen’s ideal macronutrient ratios and still not arrive at a
magic one-size-fits-all macronutrient ratio. You can be a Wizard at the
metabolic typing described on this list by some of the posters, low-oxidizer,
high-oxidizer, etc. etc. which may be a genetic typing system that helps to
further refine a given blood-types inner range of metabolic dispositions and
STILL not arrive at the magical solution. Why? Because the
season/weather/temperature matters. Because exercise matters. Because the
balance of the fuels being consumed, used up, varies outside of genetics to some
extent. Genetics, environment. We need to take both into account.

So, I will lose weight if I eat a 45-30-25 diet for the current weight I am at
and not the weight that I want to be? I can’t work out everyday because of my
work schedule. So 5 days it is. I do have a physical job so that helps. And I do
Kung Fu 2 hours a week so I count that as 2 days…so I actually work out 6
days! LOL Dontcha just love justification?!?!?! Twenty-one ounces of meat? Be
still my beating heart…ahhhhhh! So glad I’m an O!!!
