Phase And Vertical Shift. Phase and vertical shift refer to the transfer of a function in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. For the function , where A, B, C, and D are constants, the phase shift is defined as C/B. If the phase shift is positive, the shift occurs to the left; if the phase shift is negative, the shift occurs to the right.
So it is possible that a whole food meal will have a different impact on the duration of protein synthesis than pure amino acids. Our lab has recently shown that the duration of protein synthesis in response to a complete meal containing protein, carbohydrates, and fats is approximately 3 hours long. Therefore, it appears that a complete meal slightly prolongs the duration of protein synthesis.
Once you are eating the right amount of carbs, protein, and fat, it may take up to 3 weeks for you to get into a deep ketosis. To speed up the process, you can use high-intensity exercise and intermittent fasting to deplete glycogen and low-intensity exercise and a 1-2 day fast to increase ketone levels more quickly.
