We store carbohydrates as glycogen in our liver (120 grams) and muscles (400 grams). You can think of the liver and muscles as limited, short-term gas (energy) tanks. When the gas tank is full, excess fuel (carbohydrates) gets stored as fat, which is our long-term energy storage.

Taking Responsibility For Your Health

Today’s generation will be remembered for the following statement: “It’s not whether you win or lose; it’s where you place the blame.” As Mark Twain put it, “Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”
