You know, it’s a balance. We need consistent sets of complete amino acids, they don’t keep in our bodies though. Even meat is roughly 15%-30% garbage incomplete protein that ends up as sugar. Really high protein diets can cause problems for your kidneys, triglycerides are the preferred currency of energy in our bodies, that is why excess energy is converted to adipose tissue for storage and eventual use. The problem is of course, that we charge our fat batteries in nearly every hour we are awake. Consistent blood sugar translates to consistent presence of insulin in the blood which blocks the fatty acid metabolic pathway. Once insulin presence is consistent, it is physically impossible to loose or utilize stored fat energy. I eat as much and anything I want for one hour out of 24. I choose protein, fat, some veggies, and I avoid sugar and fruit. If I need to lose weight, I do the same one hour out of 48. I’m old, healthy, energetic, and I don’t struggle with satiety or my body weight. I can’t say it’s for everyone, but it works for me, and has for a long time.

nostr:npub14eng8plhflea40cu3lafnw6nwkxsp5te2v7hzy74lz6a9mjhpaks0wm4rw Foods that contain fat and protein usually measure as having no glycemic index. You say it gets converted into sugars. Seeing as this is not seen when measured, how do you explain that?
I don’t know the metrics they use for calculating their glycemic index, my guess would be that because it is a metabolic energy loss they consider the index to be zero. The problem with that approach is that blood sugar is still handled the same way, with the same biological mechanisms; insulin to facilitate cellular absorption, then liver conversion to free fatty acids for adipose tissue storage. Excess blood glucose is toxic to the body, when the cells refuse receipt of the glucose, your liver must step in to moderate, or there will be coma and death. Plant protein is much worse with amino acid/glucose conversion efficiency. If you have the time and inclination there is a guy who explains these concepts named Sten Ekberg. He’s a sensible fellow Scandinavian with a decent grasp on human biological function.
