The energy that powers our cells comes from three types of nutrients, so when the body resists using one form of fuel, it takes more of another. Some people's bodies can more easily make the switch between fuel sources based on what it needs. A new IRP study conducted by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)'s Dr. Paolo Piaggi and his colleagues suggests that people whose bodies have trouble moving from using carbs as fuel to burning fats might have larger appetites, and are more likely to gain weight over time.

Thanks. Will read tomorrow when I'm well rested. It's almost midnight and I have yet to eat some dinner. Dumb!
Congratulations Paolo Piaggi !

3wI have not yet read the study but I am a firm believer that metabolic flexibility is key to extending healthspan. As an organisim we are evolved towards optimising this. The opposite to metabolic flexibility is metabolic dependance which I believe sits at the heart of chronic diseases and unhealthy ageing.
