*Influences the fuel your body uses - glucose or fat or combination of both
• We break proteins into amino acids
• When living in red zone, body's perception is that it has to fuel you to get you out of that danger; your body makes fast burning fuel available (in the form of glucose)
• If you haven't eaten in a while, there many not be enough glucose in your blood - We store glucose in your body (glycogen in our liver and muscles); that gets released, so blood sugar goes up (ready to power us to get out of danger)… People turn over their glucose stores, but never use their body fat as fuel because their body is always in this state
