WTF was I on when I wrote this.
Should read: Glucagon and insulin are opposing hormones. No glucagon, no hepatic glycogen metabolism.
I re-read the original Aragon article in this thread too. I still don't know what he's arguing for or against. I think he's conflating overall fat oxidation and adipose tissue-derived fat oxidation. In other words, equal energy expenditures at the same rate will burn the same amount of fat for the most part. The difference is where it's derived from. This is an intrisic quality of CKDs, except they use carbohydrates as the variable instead.
