Veldig interessant tråd.... men litt rart at ingen har nevnt denne som en mulig forklaring på økt forbrenning med samme aktivitetsnivå når man er på LCHF (og hvis noen har nevnt det, så gikk jeg glipp av det og beklager). Takker Aeryth som postet denne i en annen tråd.

Sakser litt for å vise hva jeg snakker om:

The other reason is that the body increases futile cycling. What are futile cycles? Futile cycles are what give us our body temperature of 98.6 degrees. Futile cycles are just what the name implies: a cycle that requires energy yet accomplishes nothing. It operates much like you would if you took rocks from one pile and piled them in another, then took them from that pile and piled them back where they were to start with. A lot of work would have been expended with no net end result.

The body has many systems that can cycle this way, and all of them require energy. Look up the malate-aspartate shuttle; that’s one that often cycles futilely.
