In this podcast, Dr. Berg answers the question if can too much protein makes you fat. There is a hormone called insulin that has several functions including conversion foods to fats and also prevents the release of fat. It is a fat-making hormone that prevents the body from losing weight and an excessive amount of protein will trigger insulin.
Protein also triggers another hormone called glucagon which does the reverse of insulin. It helps the body burn fat. If you’re consuming lots of protein you are going to be triggering both of these hormones at the same time, you may not gain weight, but it can potentially prevent you from losing weight because this prevents the fat-burning effect. It depends on what else you’re eating with that protein and also it depends on how often you’re consuming this protein.
