has any body ever noticed?

[snake]

When you don't eat alot of carbs your muscle feel soft and squishy. I swear to god I can tell in a day of dieting that my body squishy as hell. maybe it is in my head.

the squishyness is probably from lack of glycogen storage in the muscle.

glycogen, like you mean sugar, or carbs?

 

[trunkz]

glycogen is a form of broken down sugar that is stored in the muscle, ready for use. active people store glycogen more readily than sedentary(non-active) people as glycogen is the first fuel source the body looks to for energy. when one is carb deficient, the body is more reluctant to store extra fuel as glycogen.
