The other side of fat-burning not often discussed but actually more important, "Why do certain individual's "lipid profiles" change when in calorie deficit while others stay the same??
Genetic pre-disposition??
Two hours before I had my cholesterol checked I ate two grilled cheese sandwiches. My bad cholesterol was normal and my good was low. My primary care provider just rolled her eyes and shook her head.
Today in surgery we had a patient with a pre-disposition for high lipids. This particular patient had nothing to eat for at least 12 hours prior to surgery. Upon closing the chest you could see the lipids glistening in the pooling blood. Very impressive and very educational for my perfusion students. If I ever get a pic of this I'll post it.
