Summary

Lyle McDonald

Lyle is the author of the Ketogenic Diet, the Rapid Fat Loss Handbook and the Guide to Flexible Dieting. He has been interested in all aspects of human performance physiology since becoming involved in competitive sports as a teenager. Pursuing a degree in Physiological Sciences from UCLA, he has spent almost 20 years of his life studying human physiology and the science, art and practice of human performance, muscle gain, fat loss and body recomposition.

Over the years, in addition to working with the general public, Lyle has worked primarily with endurance athletes, a few powerlifters, and some bodybuilders. Through his books, articles and his forum, he has helped thousands lose fat, gain muscle and get stronger or perform better.

In This Episode We Discuss:

Fundamentals of calorie partitioning
What actually influences the partitioning of fuel substrates and the fate of the calories we consume
Genetic differences in how much our body composition proportionally changes when either in a hyper- or hypo- caloric diet
Is there anything we can really do to modify this?
Insulin sensitivity in muscle and adipose tissue
Blood glucose responses to meals: For healthy individuals, how much does it matter?
Should you match carbohydrate intake to insulin sensitivity?

0:00.0	In all of my books right now, I'm just like, if there's the women's book, one of two things that women take from this book, get enough protein.
0:21.6	Everything else is negotiable.
0:23.6	We know that if you match protein,
0:24.6	the rest of the diet doesn't matter for fat loss.
0:26.6	Like, protein is the key.
0:28.6	Which is hilarious because it derives from the Greek word proteose,
0:31.6	which means the first.
0:33.6	They do it, and we forgot.
0:35.6	So we know that your macros can't. They're doing it and we forgot.
0:42.3	So we know that your macros can't impact on this. Sufficient dietary protein is the key.
0:45.3	It's always the key. Welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio.
1:07.5	Today we're at episode 193 of the podcast. And as always, I am your host,
1:15.0	Danny Lennon. Today's episode is going to be with Lyle MacDonald, who actually completes his
1:20.5	hat trick on the show today with his third appearance here. And we're going to be talking
1:25.5	specifically about nutrient partitioning or calorie
1:28.5	partitioning, fuel utilization, some of the misconceptions with those terms people have and
1:33.9	what that practically means for what we can actually do by modifying our nutrition and our
1:39.0	training. Before we get into today's episode, I have a couple of quick things that I wanted to mention to you
1:45.1	guys that I think will be particularly useful. First of all, something I think might be useful to a lot of
1:50.2	you guys. And as something I'm excited to announce is that we've partnered with precision nutrition
1:55.2	to help kind of demystify a lot of the common concepts within nutrition.
2:01.7	So I'm sure, as most of you are well aware, we all have friends or family members or other
