OKAY SMART GUY EXPLAIN TO ME HOW PROTEIN IS GOING TO MAKE YOU FAT
WHAT YOU SAID IS HORSESHIT...
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE BODYS HIGH DEMAND FOR PROTEIN, TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HOW THE BODY DEALS WITH HUGE SURGES IN AMINO ACIDS (EXAMPLE= WHEY) , TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE HUGE THERMIC EFFECT OF DIGESTING PROTEIN, TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SLOW RATE OF DIGESTION MEAT HAS, TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TURNOVER RATIO OF PROTEIN INTO GLUCOSE, AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE RATE AT WHICH THAT TURNOVER OF AMINO ACIDS INTO GLUCOSE OCCURS
AND AGAIN, I ASK YOU, EXPLAIN TO ME HOW PROTEIN IS GOING TO MAKE YOU FAT
FUCKING MORON
Protein is broken down to its amino acids during digestion. Any amino acids that are not needed for various forms of protein synthesis, neurotransmitter synthesis, peptide hormones, etc., etc. are converted to glucose.
The insulin will sense the rise in blood glucose and begin producing insulin in a level commensurate with the blood sugar level.
The insulin will activate an enzyme called acetyl-CoA carboxylase. There are acetyl-CoA carboxylase I and II.
Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase will form malonyl-CoA. Malonyl-CoA is necessary for fat synthesis. Malonyl CoA is like the routing director for fat to the mitochondria.
When ACoA Carboxylase is lowered, malonyl-Coa production is lowered, increasing fatty acid transfer to the mitochondria for fat burning.
When malonyl CoA is elevated, it increases the production of fatty acids.
So, protein is converted to glucose, which is then converted to pyruvate, which is converted to Acetyl-CoA. If the glucose level exceeds the needs for energy through Kreb's, and exceeds the need for glycogen synthesis, it will be converted to fatty acids by the process shown above.
