Okay, so it takes very little of that, so ketosis isn't necessarily a goal or a marker of being a fat burner. But I do tend to agree with Kurt Harris in that I believe that the default metabolic state in our evolutionary past was being a fat burner, not a car burner. For two reasons. One is just pure availability. And number two is for energy output, 96 versus 36. So it's very natural that we would seek it and that it would be predominant in our diet and that would be our predominant metabolic default. You know, if we took everyone in this room and we got in a bus and they dumped us out in the wilderness and said hunt and gather for a week and then we come back and we did a macronutrient assessment of everything that we brought back, you would find that very little of the caloric content that we were able to get for ourselves would be carbohydrate. Unless we just happened to hit that one two week block at the end of summer, beginning of fall, when apple trees were in fruit or blueberries were blooming or something like that. After that carbohydrate would be the smallest macronutrient amongst everything that we gather. And that's part of how all this problem begins is that we have metabolism that's involved to store energy based on this signal. Is there an abundance of that which is least abundant in my environment? So if there is an abundance of carbohydrate that which is least abundant in my environment then that is my signal that it's okay to store energy in the form of fat. That's why the whole process is driven by insulin because the whole fitness industry and diet industry has in their head that somehow we evolve this little accountant that's sitting up there going this many calories in, this many calories out, tally it up and go okay now we'll lose weight. No, if it was that complicated we never would have survived as a species. Not only that, if we burned as many calories as it says on the treadmill, we never would have survived the hunting and gathering trip. At that rate you wouldn't survive a trip to the grocery store. It's all predicated on signaling and insulin and signaling. So to answer your question I think we're predominantly the default position is to be a fat burner. But being in ketosis is not necessarily a marker for that depending on what you're eating. But being in ketosis is not a bad thing. People freak out when they hear ketosis because they think of diabetic ketoacidosis and what happens there is when you're diabetic you don't make any insulin so you're just stacking up a ton of glucose out here that you can't get into the cell. So it's like people in the apartment are calling for pizza over and over and over again. Lots of pizza delivery dudes are coming to the door but no one can answer the door. So the default then becomes to mobilize body fat but you have no glucose entering the cell at all. No gluconeogenic amino acids to buffet the production of the byproduct of ketone. You have to so aggressively tap this that you actually develop a ketoacidosis which is a disease state which is why people freak out when they are in ketosis or hear ketone. So there's that part of the question. The other was oh the carb crave. Yeah. Okay. So the problem with the carb crave is that you have kind of beat a metabolic dog trail of this can't go this way, can't go this way, got to go this way. Okay. Well part of beating this dog trail here is this high energy state produces a lot of an energy byproduct called NADPH and that's not important to know but it's a high energy phosphate bond material and that drives metabolic processes that in themselves produce byproducts that interfere with two other hormones that you rely on to tell you when to stop eating grailin and leptin.  Well the byproducts of doing this over and over again affect your grailin and leptin sensitivity so it doesn't work as well in the brain.  It does good to have some stored body fat but at some point the amount stored the incremental cost of carrying all that around is greater than the potential energy benefit of having it. It's like gypsies you can only put so much crap in the wagon when the cost of pulling the wagon exceeds the benefit of what's in the wagon and that's what leptin is trying to do but the byproducts of that metabolism don't allow leptin to cross the blood brain barrier it binds to it prevents it to cross the blood brain barrier where it can actually send the message.  So my girlfriend is Cardio Bunny she runs a lot and I've read the book and you know I really think you've done a great job articulating some of the things that I haven't been able to get across. Good thanks I'm glad. So there's just one other thing we always talk about muscular adaptation versus the cardiovascular adaptation and I've always tried to explain why muscular is more important it works more but I've never been able to get that across because she's always talking about you need more oxygen uptake and VO2 max and could you just explain the difference there and what that's about. I will as best I can you know what I just realized Anthony is I apologize I have a nervous habit of clicking these pins in all my own videos I'm just always pissed off because I'm standing there clicking the pin right over the microphone so I'm going to put this down so I stop doing that at the very end of this whole talk so hopefully you're able to edit some of that out but to answer your question her question is not even correct okay because it's predicated on several false assumptions that are predicated on other false assumptions and the biggest false assumption that came out of years of you know aerobics based research is that somehow this part of metabolism the oxygen using part of metabolism is somehow uniquely hooked up to the cardiovascular system where the rest of this isn't okay but I'm gonna have to pick up the marker again but I promise not to click it but the thing is you got to realize is that there's physiologically no way that you can take just this part of the metabolism in your cells and have it hooked up to your heart everyone thinks that aerobic equals cardiovascular to the extent that we don't have aerobics rooms anymore we have cardio theaters aerobic and cardio has become interchangeable in people's lexicon is just not true because there's no way that you can isolate out this portion of metabolism and have it connected to the heart and the blood vessels what you got to realize is that the heart and blood vessels support the metabolism support the entirety of metabolism this whole thing and the only way that you can get at this entirety of metabolism or what I like to call global metabolic conditioning is by doing mechanical work with muscle and to the extent that you do a higher quality of mechanical work with muscle the higher the quality of the cardiovascular stimulus is going to be okay remember what we said even if we were going to it take her assumption that aerobic equals cardio even if you do this you can only ramp up cardio maximally if you give it substrate at the fastest rate possible that it can do it and then afterwards that gets converted back into substrate and continues to ramp that up but the bigger issue is that these cardiovascular improvements the vast vast majority of everyone has it in their head I do this exercise and something gets better in my heart and blood vessels and that's true to some extent but it's way way overstated the vast vast majority of cardiovascular adaptations that you see my resting heart rate of 48 is not because of something so much that happened in my heart and blood vessels but rather that is an autonomic meaning central nervous system automatic it's an autonomic adjustment to changes that have occurred at the cellular level within the muscle itself okay so what you're perceiving is oh I got a low resting heart rate and you know my blood pressure is low and my heart rate is low and all that's good markers for health is not really something that's happened here it's the fact that all these enzymes that make all this happen and these linchpin enzymes that keep the whole process going and lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate dehydrogenase all those enzymes can up regulate and become more powerful and more efficient and when that happens when that's more powerful and more efficient this has to work less hard and that's borne out through the parameters that we measure but it's not because of something that specifically happened there alright last question that it guys thanks so much been an honor


what's going on guys it's your boy dpj here today with another destiny video now iron banner is almost at an end unfortunately I've collected myself some badass weapons some perfect rolled weapons in my opinion which I want to showcase with you guys but before we get into it hey I want to give away another resurrectionist emblem to end to simply drop a like on this video and tell me in that comment section what is the best rolled iron banner weapon you had drew up it's as simple as that okay so getting into it now I'll showcase to you guys the weapons I have in my vault first the ones I ain't really using I'm just a collector I'm a hoarder so if I get one or a certain one drop I have to keep it I've got two of the titanium orchids both basically exactly the same one arc one solar simple as that then we have the silver dread this one I got drew up I think the day before yesterday just messing about messing with classes and shit that's why it's a lower-light level this one just looks quite decent aggressive ballistics we've got injection mold hand-laid stuck quick throw snapshot we've got hidden hand and we've got a good idea nothing great to be honest I just I just like look if it I thought I'd just keep it and try out here we have the branded Lord this is a fusion rifle I did I get this from a bounty I'm not sure I did get it fairly recently though it's a 400 I think it was from a bounty actually I just can't get on with fusion rifles I tried to use them in PvP and it just they just don't work for me I mean a lot of people are telling me this Saladin's visual is a beast I've got one Roland the best I'm gonna go on Arkham Force try and get a better one until then I'm gonna leave fusion rifles in the vault another plan see it's supposed to be a beast as well but still I'm gonna try the Saladin's visual first get used to that then probably use a plan to see next up we have the lingering song I got this as well for my bounty this is just a PvE weapon for me I mean this I mean this this whole archetype of hand cannons in my opinion in PvP I just absolutely pointless when you got weapons such as the Isoluna the Palindrome the whale from Future World Cup which is an undercover beast by the way I mean just these are just absolutely pointless there's still a three-shot kill without looking in chamber even with looking in chamber there's still a two-shot kill they're basically exactly the same as the Palindrome but they just shoot a lot slower which is just completely pointless although they can pack a punch if you're going against people in Trials of the South or Iron Banner and they got a lot of light you can two-shot people without looking in chamber but still if you miss a shot 99% of the time you're gonna die but yeah like I said I'm keeping this for PvE we've got on it rifle barrel we've got hand-laid stock got extended mag quick draw hidden hand and firefly firefly and extended mag being one of the main reasons I am keeping it shame it hasn't got a reloader perk but still got plenty of gauntlets that do increase reload and hang cannons I have got another one of them which I'll show you guys in a second and here we have my distance star this was the first distance I ever got I'm not gonna lie it's actually quite good we've got small ball which I can switch up for rejection mode we've got extended mag or light weight we've got range find out or ikra this thing's basically a baby middle multi-tool doesn't kind of doesn't pack the same kind of punch to be honest but it's still quite decent it's not my opinion obviously the middle tools the way way better scouts but still if you want to rock another exotic like the gala horn I don't know the truth infective Telesto and you want a decent scout primary this is definitely one to go towards now I'll show you the ones I've got on me these are the better weapons these are definitely the better ones I have got I'm showing my whale on me this whale it's just an absolute I mean I've got a palindrome with looking a chamber I've got an island they're not looking the chamber it's still quite decent this in my opinion it's just it just it just feels better to use I mean we've got high caliber rounds outlaw and look in a chamber I mean a range ain't great you can probably get one better range a range perk being here but yeah so I got six bullets in the magazine with looking a chamber so it kicks in more often but still head shots just just it's just a good great great weapon it really is okay so the unbent tree last time I am banner was around this was a weapon that was dropping and I mean I tried I grinded and grinded and grinded trying to get a decent roll one of these I just couldn't get one mechanical balance and another stability perk which are what I wanted I mean I've got send it which increases range but drops stability dramatically we've got place frame which increases stability but drops magazine size I don't want to drop it down to where you lose quite a bit we've got I'm piercing round should probably should use all the lightweight we've got hidden hand and we've got spray and play I just love I would love this thing we've say handmade stock counterbalance and probably I'm a piece of rounds or lightweight that do me fine but I grinded for days and just this was the best one I got and it still isn't the best I've seen so many ones of them that I just badass now I'll show you my lingoon song this is the first lingoon song I got and I just kept it because I was loving using it in iron ban at the time and rifle barrel we've got lightweight and we've got hidden hand probably isn't even as good as the one I got dropped recently but it's just one I've kept what else we've got here we have this distant star this thing is an absolute monster got hammer forged or handmade stuck which I'll just switch between the two we've got full auto or explosive rounds and we've got hidden hand or crowd control now I tell you what guys I was using this in PvP yesterday and it is an absolute freaking monster I mean I'm not too keen on pull strifles and scouts we have to keep spamming that trigger I just get a dead finger you know so anything that drops in full auto I will take any day the week and I was lucky enough to get this the things an absolute beast if you guys have got this with full auto you guys know what I'm talking about this thing it just rules it really is hopefully for you guys that don't have it when the next iron banner event comes around this will be one of the weapons that drops for you okay so we now have my clever dragon at least was the first clever dragon I got at the last iron banner event I think I got this from a rank 5 you don't get ranked 3 and rank 5 packages now but I think I got this from the rank 5 packages on my hunter and we've got handmade stock which increases stability we've got high caliber rounds or quick draw and we've got hidden hand or secret round and me personally I'll probably swap hidden hand and secret round for counterbalance but still it's still an absolute monster this thing absolutely owns PvP at the minute it really does same archetype as a Grasp of Manak so if you've got a decent me personally I prefer my Grasp of Manak my Grasp of Manak it's just a better weapon in my opinion seems like I think it's got better aim assist it's got a higher range mine was got better stability as well but still clever dragon you still can't go wrong with now this is the beast this is what I had dropped for me yesterday playing iron banner I'm quite happy with it we've got hand laid stock we've got high caliber rounds and we have counterbalance now you guys know that this thing is gonna tear shit up now this was the one role on this clever dragon I really wanted and I got it I mean I got it I can't complain I got it I mean like I think it's probably like the last two games I played last night as well and I'm not gonna play no more and banner I don't think and I just had so so so please I'm yet to level it up and try it out as soon as I do you guys will be sure to find out what I think of this weapon you really will but yes this is probably my best role I am banner weapon I had dropped so far apart from that distant star which is a beast I'll show you guys my branded Lord this is the one I've got I just can't get on with it hot swap accelerated coils and rifle bow it just doesn't pack enough of a punch for me we've got this pride spider which I don't use to be honest I've got a wiki pie crusher even though it's got hammer forge and range find I may have to try that out to be honest not gonna lie and then we have this silver dread which is my baby which is the heavier use we've got acryl ballistics we've got small bore quick draw which can switch for a snapshot but life support and counterbalance I love this weapon I really do quite a beast also yesterday I got iron banner boots drop which would have one thing I needed at 400 to take me to that 400 lights or yes I'm now a 400 lights without doing challenge mode which is absolutely epic but guys that is it they are my best road I am banner weapons let me know down below in that comment section what is your best road I am banner weapon you had drop hope you enjoyed the video do hit that like button I do appreciate the support and I'll catch you guys on that next one


October has finally arrived, and for whitewater kayaking and rafting enthusiasts from across the country, that means it's time for their yearly journey to Elkhorn City, Kentucky. Each weekend in October, water is released from John W. Flanagan Dam in Hayside, Virginia, creating some of the most sought after and challenging whitewater conditions anywhere. Because of the current drought conditions and low river levels, mountaintop news reached down to officials at Flanagan Dam to make sure the water releases were still scheduled. And they are. Beginning this Saturday, October 5th, water will be released each Saturday and Sunday of the month, so for the next few weekends it will be common to see the brightly colored kayaks and rafts making their way through the gorge on the Russell Fork River between Hayside and Elkhorn City.


I haven't got my wife a present yet. What should I get her? I can never go wrong with Pandora, I guess. Pandora, we have a clip for that. Has to be expensive. Day spa voucher. Day spa voucher? She's not that old. Yeah, but I like it too. An engagement ring. She's already married to me. Do you see a kitten?  Yeah, get her a kitten. Well, I asked her before. She should get me a kitten. She said a million followers for me to get a kitten. She said a million. Do you think I can crack a million by Christmas? Yes. Guys, help me out. A teddy bear and some nice earrings. She'll not appreciate that. She said that if I got a million followers by Christmas, she'd buy me a kitten. Do I have any chance? I reckon easy. You'll get easy million followers. Bro, got me, right? Yeah, I got you. What's your dream present? It's to feed a crocodile.
