candidate2025,
Are you saying that the human body cannot break down excess dietary protein into peptides, which can be further broken down into amino acids, which can be converted to glucose, which can be converted to fat, which can be stored in fat cells?
i dont know dude.
thats why i said "i do believe" before my post.
what i do know is that while doing the whole "zero carb" diet last year there was one day where i consumed about 5000 calories of protein during the day and i still looked slightly leaner the next morning.
maybe its just my body that cant convert protein into fat.
for me when i diet...i try to eat as much LEAN protein as i can thorugh out the day. i dont monitor my protein intake at all. what i DO monitor is my carb and fast intake, carbs because they CAN be turned into fat IF you dont use them,and fats because they already are fats, and they contain 9 calories per gram as opposed to only 4 calories that protein and carbs contain.
as of late...my diet has been zero carbs with protein every two hours untill one hour before training(which would be very late in the day), then i eat 30 grams complex carbs, and 30 grams simple carbs. drink a whey shake during my workout, and after, then i eat a meal with anywhere between 100 grams protein to 200 grams protein, maybe 10-20 grams healthy fats, and some vegetable carbohydrates..maybe 40 grams ; but veggies dont really count because of the fiber.. i just fill up..i dont eat after thi meal.
the idea here is that my body will be in ketosis, burning fat, all day. right up untill i want to workout, when those simple carbs will digest and give me enough energy along with the complex carbs to get through my workout. the whey shake has a few grams of sugar as to create the insulin release. it has always been my theory that post workout carbs were not needed; just a few grams of sugar with the whey. carbs do nothing to build muscle, they only give energy, and inhibit fat loss. so i can be burning fat all day and night, while rebuilding muscle tissue because of my high protein intake.
goign zero carbs does not effect the fact tha when protein is digested, your body uses it to rebuild muscle tissue. with carbs in your system, or withcarbs out of your system, protein performs the same function. so if i am losing weight fro KETOSIS, as opposed to a caloric deficit, i can ineed be building muscle as i lose weight. of course every couple of days i will cycle in a higher carb day to keep my metabolism up and running; bt nothing extreme like 300 grams as i see someof you do. max maybe 150.
starting the day with cardio on an empty stomach kicks starts the ketosis and keeps it revvign thorugh body fat all day long...
heres my pre-morningcardio super fat loss enhancer!!(lol!) its of my own creation..= shake some cinnamon into a cup, pour some lemon juice into the cup, fill the cup up with water. put one 25 mg ephedrine pill, two rippedfuelextreme pills in your mouth, put two green tea extract ills in you mouth, put one 81 mg doesage asprin in your mouth...drink the drink concoction and swallow the pills.
eca stack+green tea...lemon juice puts your body into a alkaline ph, and the cinnamon reduces blodd sugar levels while raising levels of insulin.
