Default Re: Chrisj22's Diet & Training Log

Glycogen depletion is a non-issue unless you are doing massive volume or a lot of cardio - any glucose requirements will be dealt with by gluconeogenesis in the liver. Leptin is irrelevant until you get very lean, and IMO cosmetic concerns such as 'fullness' are redundant unless you are doing a photoshoot or something. Moreover high fructose consumption is probably the worst in terms of creating an adipogenetic environment. If you're going to refeed, which I wouldn't recommend at this stage in the diet, I would stick to pulses/grains/legumes primarily. I don't endorse keto diets either, but that's another story.
