  • Glycogen is not a resource that sensible (ie dieters who don't drop carbohydrate) dieters deplete fast. Your total body store is 350g dry weight, or (as its roughly 3g water/ g glycogen) 1.2kgs total body weight. This is why the bonk occurs- glycogen represents a tiny amount of useable energy. Or why the theory is that after 30-45 mins of running you start to burn only adipose energy.

    Great read thanks.

    Does that first bit in my quote mean that unless you drop carbs you can't lose much weight?
