I don't know if you realize this, but there's this one protein that can raise insulin

way more than white bread, way more than actual glucose. That protein is way protein.

So today, let's discuss way protein. And is it good? Is it bad? What's my thoughts on it? What about

can it knock you out of ketosis? So white bread can increase the insulin by 87%. And if we compare

that to way protein powder, that can increase insulin by a factor of 139%. Now normally when we eat

sugar, okay, the blood sugar goes up and then insulin comes in there and pushes it down.

But white protein is not sugar, okay? It is amino acids. Then those amino acids get absorbed

very, very quickly. And so they have an interesting fact because they've raised insulin,

but apparently they don't spike your blood sugars. In fact, there's been studies that show that

if you're eating white protein after a meal, it can actually help lower your blood sugars,

so potentially help a diabetic. Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but the point is if

just think about it, if you're consuming something that raises insulin, it's going to then push

blood sugars down. The other thing about white protein powder is that it also, at the same time,

when it increases insulin, it increases another opposing hormone called glucagon, which tends to

kind of neutralize some of the maybe a bad effects of insulin. I think a question that people

want to know is this, would white protein knock me out of ketosis? And the answer is, well, yes,

because anything that increases insulin will knock you out of ketosis. And then of course,

the next question is, will white protein powder increase weight gain? Well, I don't think it does

because we're not necessarily converting glucose into fat. What we are doing is we're increasing

insulin, which has, believe it or not, a lot of positive benefits, especially if someone has

insulin resistance. In fact, if you take a look at all of the symptoms that relate to insulin

resistance, they're really a deficiency of insulin. Why? Because with insulin resistance,
