2.3 Exogenous Carbohydrate Load
Human Fat-Based Metabolism
This page is structured as definition, control variables, causal chain, observable outputs, and boundary, and serves as a canonical definition node in Human FBM.
Exogenous carbohydrate load refers only to carbohydrate introduced from food input.
It excludes endogenous glucose production and does not deny physiological glucose presence.
Input frequency defines how often glucose processing is re-triggered.
Input magnitude defines long-term occupancy pressure range.
Interaction with total energy determines whether substrate dominance can shift.
Higher external load increases glucose-handling demand and insulin occupancy pressure.
Persistently higher occupancy reduces the structural space for fatty-acid dominant direct energy.
Higher load often coexists with stronger post-meal sleepiness and hunger fluctuation.
Lower stable load more often coexists with improved energy continuity.
A single carbohydrate exposure is not equivalent to structural failure.
Load type should be judged from repeated long-term input patterns.
