The Reasons Why Fats, Not Carbs Are The Preferred Fuel Source!

Probably you are already guessing it, but if we keep in mind that the diet of the subjects, who are being studied, previously contained mainly of carbs and they were the main fuel source, their bodies would need time, to “switch” to using fat as fuel. And as I mentioned the continuance of these studies is not enough, in order for such an adaptation to occur.
Imagine a drunkard, who is being treated and who is abstaining from alcohol for a week or two. I am sure that at first the reaction of his body won’t be good and he is more likely to feel bad, sick, weak, to experience headache and other similar symptoms.
