Gluconeogenesis and TNT (or similar) diet
I've read the TNT book and (mostly) understand the concept but i'm curious how it would work with respect to gluconeogenesis. so on a low-carb diet, you want fat to be your body's primary fuel source. now if your diet is also rich in protein, it seems logical to me that your body would resort to gluconeogenesis quite readily since it wants to obtain glucose (assuming nothing in glycogen stores). is this what happens? Also, how does gluconeogenesis and glycogen storage coexist?
thanks!
