Perfect Macronutrients

[2007]

I was talking about the Citric acid cycle. When your body uses fat as energy, it uses fat as 80% of that chemical combination. It uses pyruvate 8% to 15% and vitamin C or carbohydrate is 5%. That combination is the perfect ideal combination to get the most amount of energy.

What is pyruvate? 

[Aajonus] 

Pyruvate is a sugar made from protein that has no high advanced glycation byproduct.  

[Attendee#2]  

I'm sorry. Pyruvate was what again? 

[Aajonus] 

Pyruvate is a sugar made from protein, it's a protein sugar.  

[Attendee] 

Do you buy that or it comes from a combination of foods or?  

[Aajonus] 

Your body makes it from protein.  

[Attendee] 

So, you would feed your body protein and fats?  

[Aajonus] 

It makes pyruvate. 

So, your diet, as far as sugar needs, high carbohydrate needs is only 5% high carbohydrate foods. That’s why you have one fruit meal a day and that handles it. 

[Attendee] 

So, the point of this whole pyruvate thing, what was that?  

[Aajonus] 

Well, there wasn't any point. It was just to show you that you need very little carbohydrates.
