It's such a complex thing and this is where it really comes down to is that, you know,

how much of what we're reading contributes its carbon change are actually being used for energy.

You know, I actually don't know the answer and I don't really think anyone does.

You know, I've heard everything from the process of actually using the amino acids themselves

to as a building block, quote quote unquote means that they're no longer

available to use for energy production but then I've also seen other opinions and other bits

of research contradicting that actually says in order to access the nitrogen building blocks

as part of those amino acids they actually have to clean off the carbon chains that are on the front of them.

And that means that even if you use protein for a building block, you still derive energy from it.

And it's kind of like, whoa.

So, you know, and like, I used to be so, you know, I suppose, cocksure even about, you know, protein wasn't energy.

And the thing is, you know, if anyone's actually done a super high protein diet like I have,

I'm talking as high as three, four, five grams of protein, a kilogram of being body mass.

Like, it's crazy high amounts of protein.

You don't just drop huge amounts of weight. You know, you can actually

eat in a surplus, eating protein. It does challenge a lot of those black and white thinking

that a lot of people have. Welcome to Fast Keto. I'm your host, Ketogenic Girl.
