What did we ask people to do and did they do it?
The idea that males display more between-individual variance than females has been considered for >150 years
Does increasing physical activity directly add to total energy expenditure (ADDITIVE) 
First, a quick poll before reading on
What are isotope tracers?
The main aim was to see if restricting sugars or total carbs alters physical activity levels
"Carb backloading" is the practice of avoiding carbs early in the day and eating them later in the day, usually after some exercise.
Latest UK guidelines suggest there is only sufficient evidence that diets high in sugars:
This time, the measure of interest is the level of fat in the blood (triacylglycerol; aka TAG)
First, how do we even know what the human foetus uses as a fuel?
Adding 7.5 g fructose to 75 g glucose reduces the blood glucose response. 
Have a guess here before reading on to find out if you are right... (2/8)
A reasonable guess would be that they ate some carbs at 0 min and then stopped eating because glucose dropped to fasting levels by hour 3.
Athletes commonly train almost everyday (and sometimes multiple times a day), so carbohydrate stores are often being depleted and need replenishing. 
We will focus here on glucose concentrations.
