"Roger Zoul" writes: I'm not sure I agree with you. I think you do, but we're splitting hairs. Exercise causes you to go into ketosis faster, yes, we all agree on that. My ONLY point was that exercise doesn't directly deplete liver glycogen, so X hours of exercise doesn't guarantee that at the end of X hours you're in ketosis, which seemed to be what the OP was thinking. Then, the liver glycgoen would eventually dump. Right, I was trying to point out the "eventually" part. Depleted muscles themselves do not cause ketosis. It's only when the liver later depletes while trying to fuel internal organs while the muscles are absorbing some of those carbs do you enter ketosis. I haven't seen anything that shows you can force the liver to dump glycogen faster than it's natural "blood glucose is low" rate. You can use up muscle glycogen in a few hours (including time to vomit but IMHO the liver still takes its own time to dump its glycogen. It won't replete muscle glycogen anywhere near as fast as a carb-up could, so you aren't going to deplete the liver that fast either. So, there might be some finite time before that final step happens, but that could just be added on top of the exercise component. Moreso, the draining of liver glycogen could probably be accounted for so that the exercise, which would be spread of some period of time anyway, could stretch over a time span which would correspond to depleted liver glycogen. To extrapolate absurdly, the exercise of "breathing" over a 72 hour period would put you in ketosis. Certainly, that's not a "fast track" the OP wanted. Over in the bicycling ng groups, people frequently talk about how the muscle can hold about 2000 calories in glycogen in muscles. Hence, once ould exhaust that amounts by hard riding for a period of time. The result of doing that would be to bonk. Right, but they're not in ketosis when they bonk. Only if their diet after the bonk doesn't contain sufficient carbs would they eventually go into ketosis. |

I think one is close to being in ketosis at that point, as the liver would begin dumping glycogen. At this point, ketosis is a certainty provided too many carbs aren't reintroduced into the diet. Hence, it is my supposition that this dumping period can be factored into the time to ketosis. So you do X hours of exercise, maintain diet, and wait a brief time. That would in effect minimize time to ketosis and would serve the OP's inquiry. |

Actually I knew that working your muscles to failure won't use all the available glucose in your body, I was more interested in the time frame of the cycle of using all the available muscle glucose, refilling it with glucose from the liver and repeating until no more glucose is present/ketosis. |

Stop agreeing with me! :-) Except I see no data that says it's a "brief" time. It's a time, I don't know how long. Maybe I'll ask Lyle. |

Thanks for asking. I was asking my husband last night (really, wondering
out loud is a better way to put it), if I could do that, now that my garden got a frost and is all dead. (meaning no more corn on the cob). Becky P. www.family.solidrockpl.org |

I think the liver will be cleared of glycogen relatively quickly just based on personal experience when trying to recover from a carb up. |
