Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Replacing the refined carbohydrates in your everyday diet with ‘good’ fats will improve your body’s ability to burn fats for energy rather than carbohydrate even when exercising.

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats are the slowest source of energy but the most energy-efficient form of food. Each gram of fat supplies the body with about 9 calories, more than twice that supplied by proteins or carbohydrates. Because fats are such an efficient form of energy, the body stores any excess energy as fat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Severe carb limits can cause your body to break down fat into ketones for energy. This is called ketosis. Ketosis can cause side effects such as bad breath, headache, fatigue and weakness. It’s not clear what kind of possible long-term health risks a low-carb diet may pose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrate has two important advantages, over fat, as a metabolic fuel; it is the only fuel that can produce ATP in the absence of oxygen, and more ATP is produced per O2 consumed when glucose is oxidized, compared with when fat is oxidized.
