So, I think I came up with a good analogy to moderate-high carb diets vs. keto. Which is better for fat loss? Bicycling slowly or bicycling quickly over the same distance? Slow cardio is good for fat burning and maybe a little glycogen burning, fast biking would be better for glycogen burning(and a little fat burning) but are they not the same at the end of the day/week/month for overall body fat loss? The same thing applies to a diet that is carb-rich and a diet that is carb-poor. With the former, you burn stored glycogen-stored fat and in the latter, you burn maybe a minute amount of glycogen but mostly stored body fat. You replace the burned glycogen with carbs and replace the stored fat with dietary fat. At the end of the day/week/month, your net energy intake vs. burn is what determines net body fat loss/gain.

There is more to it like if you got enough protein to support muscle retention/gain and if you're doing resistance training. Those two factors will also determine the finished product, but that wasn't the point.

Is this another foggy carb brain blunder of a post or is it ok? :P
