Postprandial Thermogenesis Is Increased 100% on a High-Protein versus a High-Carbohyd

[ItsTheWooo]

It's a bit old, but none the less an interesting study I stumbled upon. It shows that postprandial thermogenesis from a high protein, low carb/fat meal was twofold higher than it is is for a high carbohydrate, low protein/fat meal. There were no major negative complications from eating the high protein meal, other than less favorable nitrogen balance.
If it's been posted already, I apologize.

postprandial thermogenesis

What is that, exactly? :) I'm not sure if I've prandialed... maybe I prandial all the time and just don't know it. Do I prandial when I sleep? Is it outlawed in some states? Are any religions against it? Do I need a license or a partner for it?

Sorry :)
Prandial refers to eating... preprandial would reference the state before eating, and postprandial after eating.

That's pretty interesting. From experience I do get toasty after eating protein. The body doesn't covert protein to glucose with much efficiency. And if you're eating mostly protein, that's what your body will do. Less efficiency = more heat = greater energy expenditure.

Phew! Good, glad I'm not violating any religious laws with my postprandial thermogenesis.

That is interesting though! I wonder why I'm always cold though after I eat lunch?

Evidently, your postprandial thermogenesis is contrarily dysfunctional. Do you co-consume excessive decongealing dihydrogen oxide with your comestibles?

(Do you drink a lot of ice water with your food?)

[Nancy LC]

LOL! My thought is maybe the air-conditioning comes on around noon here. No, I don't usually have decongealing dihydrogen with my prandialites.

I should've known my prandial thermogenesis is broken. I wonder if I can find a repairman in the phonebook. Would I look under thermogenesis or postprandial?

Indeed – in my domicile, when sol passes meridian, the then cross-zenith illumination instigates a stasis inversion in the mechanothermoreceptive virtual illuminometer that percussively manages our pneumatic regulators.

Are you saying you fart after eating lunch?

Rotflmao!

Tee hee.
