okay so I recently had a question from

someone that wanted to know will protein

bump me out of ketosis okay could there

concern if I eat too much protein am I

gonna be in ketosis well let’s just take

a look at this book right here guidance

physiology page 830 it says other

factors that stimulate insulin secretion

amino acids in addition to excess

glucose stimulating insulin secretion

many of the amino acids have a similar

effect amino acids administered in the

absence of a rise in blood glucose cause

only a small increase in insulin

secretion

however when administered at the same

time that the blood glucose

concentration is elevated the glucose

induced secretion of insulin may be as

much as doubled so the behavior of

protein in a low carbohydrate

environment is acts very very

differently so if you want to know what

that means it’s roughly 0.7 grams per

kilogram of lean body mass so for myself

I need about 58 grams of protein per day

okay

so that’s somewhere between 5 to 7

ounces depending on the type of protein

you consume per meal but I wanted to

mention this one point about the purpose

of protein sometimes people think it’s a

backup fuel source it’s not when you go

in a fast even a faster like 2 days or

even 3 days your muscles aren’t there to

act as a backup fuel you’re not going to

create atrophy of your muscles ok the

purpose of protein is to replace body

tissue parts so it’s not going to be

acting primarily as a fuel reserve ok it

can turn protein into glucose but that’s

going to be mainly dietary protein so

the two things you want to be concerned

with is making sure that you don’t

consume excessive protein okay too much

because that can actually spike insulin

and create other issues and number 2

adding carbs with your protein not good

but it’s a very common thing for the

average person to do especially if

they’re on the sad diet alright thanks

for watching so we’ve been getting a lot

of success stories but I don’t have your
