Yes, after glycogen stores have been filled, then excess glucose can be stored as fat.

And for most people sitting all day that would probably start straight after their high carb breakfast or latest after morning tea.

Carbohydrates can be used to produced fat, however the opposite does not happen - fat cannot be used to synthesize carbohydrates.

Those "rare circumstances" is what any desk occupier will find happens after one or two high carb meals - breakfast and morning tea usually. Both of which consist of carbs with carbs and carbs - except if you have bacon and eggs or yoghurt and berries (unsweetened).

I know that - try and explain it to knowsley LOL :)
He seems not even to understand that pigs and humans are so closely related that pig organs are used in transplants to humans . although I consider it a very scary practice and understand that it is still forbidden in quite a few countries. I wouldn't want to be the one breeding exciting new viruses after a transplant.

Maybe, but I'd be hungry again far sooner after eating the same calories if I chose the cake.

What I do understand, very well, is that you have no real knowledge of nutrition. You seem to be quite confused as well - when did I mention anything about pigs!
I never said that carbs cannot be converted to fats - in fact I said "under rare circumstances, they can be converted and stored as fat". You're reading comprehension is on par with Buzzys - almost non-existent. It must be a low carb thing.
If you actually put down those romance novels and stuck your head into a science-y book, you'd probably learn a bit an be embarrassed about the things you write on here.

There is no guarantee of that. There are a lot of people that get hungry on Atkins as well.

No, wrong again. Your guesses aren't even close.

People can get hungry on any diet! People even get hungry when they're not on a diet! I got hungry on low fat diets. I still get hungry on LC - only it takes far longer.

I like olivergrant. She has a sense of humour and pretends not to know what foods are protein foods. I'm sure she started this thread so we could blow off some steam before Christmas.
Have a good one everybody and enjoy whatever foods you choose to consume on the annual day of gluttony and over indulgence - not mine you understand, but certainly for most.
