so the question is can you actually get fat  by consuming too much protein well here’s the  

thing the body can only use so much protein and  any additional amounts past that certain point  

is either wasted through your kidneys or is used  by fuel because it’s converted to glucose and so  

the problem is if we consume too much protein  and it turns to glucose that’s going to trigger  

insulin right and that’s going to make you fat  but there’s something very unique about protein  

you don’t only trigger insulin you trigger the  opposing hormone which is made by your pancreas  

called glucagon glucagon has nothing to  do with glycogen which is stored sugar  

they sound similar but glucagon is a hormone and  it basically does the opposite of insulin whereas  

insulin stores fat glucagon burns fat and so when  you eat too much protein you actually stimulate  

both of these hormones and you can kind of get  a neutralizing effect when glucagon is triggered  

at the same time as insulin and so it’s very  different than just consuming carbohydrates which  

will stimulate only insulin and not glucagon  and there’s no studies that i could find that  

consuming too much protein makes you fat or puts  on weight and i really have not seen it as well  

because it’s very difficult to isolate people  that are just consuming too much protein they’re  

usually consuming a lot of protein with carbs but  if you were to lower your carbs and just have more  

protein i haven’t seen people gain weight on that  what i have seen is this it can slow down their  

ketosis okay because you’re you’re stimulating  insulin and what makes people get into ketosis  

is the reduction of insulin and so they  might not gain weight but they just slow down  

and their ability to lose weight they also can be  very tired if they have too much protein it could  

be because the spike in insulin it could also be  because they don’t have enough hydrochloric acid  

and so the protein doesn’t get digested and they  can get tired just from that i have seen people  

get very bloated and even constipated if they  consume too much protein probably also related  

because they don’t have enough digestive help  and also you’re overloading the digestive system  

where it can’t process that much protein in one  sitting also protein can act like a stimulant  

and it can keep you from getting into a nice  restful sleep at night so it can affect sleeping  

indigestion make you tired bloated and a slow down  ketosis now another question that people have is  

is that excess protein going to damage my kidneys  i couldn’t find any data to support that but i do  

know that too much protein is only a problem if  your kidneys are unhealthy or you have kidney  

damage or liver damage because those two organs  have to deal with the excess and if they’re not  

healthy enough they won’t be able to do that  i think adding more protein to a keto plan  

would be good if you are younger if you have a  fast metabolism and especially if you’re doing  

fasting and you’re not consuming as many meals  like one meal a day for example then you could  

definitely add more protein simply because it’s  going to allow your body to process that protein  

over many hours versus three meals two snacks  and a lot of protein that would not be good all  

right thanks for watching hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here  

avoiding your environment but what about here  what about strengthening your immune system  

that’s what’s missing this course will show  you how to bulletproof yourself and so you  

can tolerate and resist your environment much  better by strengthening your own immune system
