Question:

Do glycogen supplies get replenished over time (during fasting) by fat being converted?


Answers:

No. Fats cannot be converted to carbohydrates. The body is forced to convert protein to carbohydrates via a process called gluconeogenesis. This explains the reason why people on low carb diets lose so much muscle.
