Document Summary

Oct 10 weight loss and risk reduction. If there is a mismatch in energy balance it will shift the fuels you are using. If you consume a high carb meal and it exceeds our energy expenditure, it will reduce fat oxidation. If you reduce fat oxidation, you will store the fat instead of burning it. Behavioural factors: energy intake changes (energy-dense, high fat, physical activity changes (ex. Amish vs. colorado = 400-600 kcal/day: diet composition during negative, positive, or equal energy balance (effect of fat) are low fat diets effective, other factors (portion size, energy density, added sugars, physical activity (energy expenditure, rmr, fat oxidation) If you do some sort of strength training, even when losing weight, you can maintain rmr. In an equal energy balance, if you had a high fat diet, you wont be as full as if you ate a high carb diet.
