Great continuation of this series.I will check out reference 48. I am one of the people who have been critical of exaggerated claims about sugar as opposed to starch. Current studies do not show big differences and, in terms of practical consequences, usually are adding sugar on top of a high carbohydrate diet. This may be what Kuo did but even so, Figure 2 shows dramatic differences. I may have been wrong on my criticism. Of course, the effect is still kinetic and one had to know how much changes are long-lived.

Excellent summary of evolutional history of heart healthy “science”. Now it is clear for all
us to see, where it sidestepped the reality. Could I say, satfat cult science.

Kuo and Lopez basically say the same thing (fig 2 and 3). Sugar (glucose +fructose)
increases cholesterol, when complex sugars (“chained-glucose” i.e. starch) decreases
it, for whatever it is worth. Doesn’t Kuo actually show fluctuations of VLDL,
the liver dispatched triglycerides and cholesterol wrapped into phospholipids? Fructose
would have a direct reaction path into lipids within the liver, whereas glucose
utilizes a transient buffering storage?

Could not get access to these two original studies. 

Thank you again for this series.

Thanks for the REST DAY... but I have a milestone to hit! Getting under 300 (my weight) for the first time in 20 years... highest weight 401 in 2007, and 360 when I started my new journey in Oct ‘19, but really buckled down in March ‘20 (337) when I started putting in consistent work (5 days a wk) and a vegan diet.  Yesterday evening weigh-in yielded 301.2, so tomorrow mornings weigh-in should be monumental!
WU:50 cal air bike
WOD: 5 X for time
• 10 OH plate press (45lb)
• 20 alt leg lunges
• 30 abmat SUs
• 60 single unders
Time:24:03.28
Wish me luck 

Thanks to whoever is behind these workouts. I was doing too much stuff in the gym. I'm not trying to be a pro athlete so it's nice to do something short and effective. I also wonder why these mainsite WODs aren't more popular. I remember this site having a big following awhile back.

Awesome! Congrats Corie.

Workouts Structure: 

First day followed both “For Completion” and “as heavy as possible” template, respectively. Two modalities of gymnastics and weightlifting were used in this WOD. The first combination was low intensity SLIP from gymnastics modality and the second combination was a heavy complex movement from weightlifting modality. The purpose of the exercise was to perform the zercher squat with heaviest resistance and increase its records. This WOD is challenged both upper and lower muscles. The amount of resistance should be progressively increased to reach their record. Strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, balance and coordination were challenged for GPP skills. Moreover, the aerobic system was a dominant energy pathway for first part and the phosphagen system was a dominant energy pathway for second part of this WOD.

Second day was followed “AMRAP” template. This exercise was a couplet modality that that combined a heavy complex weightlifting movement with a plyometric movement from gymnastic modality. This training was focused on the strength, muscular endurance and explosive power. Moreover, the aerobic system was a dominant energy pathway in this program.

Third day was followed “AMRAP” template. This exercise was a single modality that included 2 elements of high skill gymnastic movements. The
training purpose is to improving the muscular endurance. This WOD was fire the shoulder and core muscles, like the last WOD. Moreover, the aerobic system was a dominant energy pathway in this program.

Conclusion
In this cycle: 
The combinations of GW; WG and G have been used, respectively. 
10 movements were used.
Two couplet modality days were used in this cycle.
Gymnastic modality was used for all 3 days.
No triplet modality can be seen in this cycle.
No metcan modality can be seen in this cycle.
Aerobic energy pathway was used for all 3 days.
Overall, 2 energy pathways (phosphagen and aerobic) were challenged in this cycle. Moreover, the strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, balance and coordination were involved in this circle of programming.
As a final note, “For Completion”, “AHAP” and “AMRAP” templates were used for programming in this cycle.
