Metabolic Flexibility 101

Good stuff man!

Are squats good or bad? Depends! Depends on YOUR body and HOW you squat.

As mentioned, is a pizza good or bad? Depends on how YOUR body processes it.

Carbs for people who are diabetic are bad. I view them as very metabolically INflexibile–their body can’t switch to process carbs very well without side effects (high TGs in the blood, etc).

Carbs for most hard training athletes are fine. I view these people as very metabolically flexible–they can process carbs (and also fats too) just fine.

I agree that the terms “good” and “bad” need to go away as they are completely subjective and relative. In general, food is good.
