Calories from protein are skewed just a bit by the fact that the body has to go through some extra steps to digest them (such as getting rid of the excess ammonia). I had hoped I made it clear that exercise will not keep off weight, that one will usually just eat more to compensate. The whole cortisol stress response has been overstated since Hans Selye came up with it in 1936; unless you're living in a war zone for an extended period, it's not going to have much of an effect. Not sleeping enough just means more time to eat mindlessly. I tried to cover blood sugar levels earlier; eating a lot of high glycemic index foods will cause blood sugar to peak and plummet, causing one to become hungry again right after eating - as Cookie Monster now says, "Cookies are a sometimes food."<br /><br />Whew! Think I covered the questions.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-45240189899044275122009-11-16T20:45:45.591-06:002009-11-16T20:45:45.591-06:00So it's my speedwork and 20-milers that I lost...So it's my speedwork and 20-milers that I lost the, ahem, assets that I have in GP's pic?joyRuNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033973041471006513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-29550052197321914992009-11-16T14:14:28.978-06:002009-11-16T14:14:28.978-06:00Beer-goggles make me look purdy, too.

It assumes all calories are equal. While yes, 1 calorie from any type of food contains the energy needed to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree. I don't think that all calories are processed by the body the same, no? Anyway, so far, out of all the research people have done on exercise & weight. I can't find conclusive evidence that exercise will keep the pounds off. <br /><br />Which makes me think it has more to do with the type of food eaten and hormones. What about stress and cortisol? Does too much exercise and something like not sleeping enough cause weight gain? What about the type of food eaten and insulin/blood sugar levels and their role in weight? <br /><br />Any insight?kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17576419558607129744noreply@blogger.com
