How your protein shake makes you fatter.


Listen Later

When you eat more protein than your body needs to replace and repair body parts, excess protein is largely converted into glucose and burned as fuel.

AND highly processed protein, that we get in the form of powder, is turned into glucose, especially if there is enough protein already in our food, it is turned into glucose or blood sugar really easy, since the body has to do almost no work to digest that protein.


That protein can easily contribute to spikes in blood sugar (especially if your protein powder has any kind of added sugar) and blood sugar spikes contribute to resistance to weight loss and fat gain especially in your belly area.


Listen to the full episode to learn more about how protein powder contributes to less health, less energy and more fat on your body.
