Dietary protein can be converted into fat?

Here, reported Dr. Kurt Harris and detours on the way how the human body uses protein and treated as excess amounts of protein and are "disposed of".

Ideally, the body is constantly in a dynamic equilibrium of absorption of nutrients, reduction, reconstruction and building of body tissue. He can compensate for all variations in food intake within a fairly large frame, in which he as with a low intake of carbohydrates accesses the glycogen stores of the liver. Is this relatively empty, it starts gluconeogenesis from amino acids (with about 60-70% efficiency).

If the amount of ingested protein is also lower than the demand for gluconeogenesis + muscle building, easy walk of less Circulating amino acids back into the muscle tissue. (This will probably be remedied in the short term at the next protein meal.)



All tissues in the body are constantly in a cycle of disassembly and assembly, as the fat depots (and bone). Critical here is the respective insulin levels. Is he (too) high, ends up more energy in the fat depots, as depots leaves again. Carbohydrates cause while the highest insulin secretion, protein and a low fat no. Even with a diet with almost zero carbs but the body needs a minimal insulin levels in order to perform all its tasks.

Total is eaten through the appetite addition, any excess of the three macro nutrients can be stored as energy in the fat depots. But that is not necessarily so, because the body is also able surpluses as leave about an increase in thermogenesis as heat.

In ketosis is the chance to eat out on the appetite, but quite small.

When the insulin levels are chronically reduced by reducing the amount of carbohydrates taken under the previous level, according to the reduced food intake and fat from the depots can out until a new, lower (equal) weight is reached.

On the regulation of appetite, he writes in response to a comment question:

If you have a "broken metabolism" you may have to get into ketosis before your appetite can be relied on to regulate your caloric intake.
Your body wants to be fashionable to tell what it needs just like it can tell how much to breathe.
I would estimate 90% Spontaneously reduce Their intake with no discomfort or counting at around 15-10% carbs.

(If you have a malfunctioning metabolism, one must probably be in ketosis to rely on his appetite can it regulated the amount of calories correctly.
The body will be able to communicate what he needs, just as he can tell how often must be breathed.
I estimate that 90% spontaneously reduce their intake - without discomfort or counting - with a carbohydrate level of around 15 - 10%.)



Overall, the question in the title can only be answered with YES, BUT. However, because only a conversion and storage actually takes place, if at some time well above the appetite protein is eaten, and the insulin levels are high simultaneously.
