If you want to avoid the multitude of negative side effects from high protein diets, your fat loss approach should have a balanced eating plan in place. And balanced eating will give you a lot more energy per calorie of food consumed.
Unfortunately, even balanced nutrition can STILL lead to excess weight gain. So it is very important for you to grasp how different types of food interact and get shuffled away in your body.
So without further delay, here is how nutrients get stored as fat in your body:
1. Sources of energy like carbohydrates. Every single carbohydrate that you consume has to be broken down into units of sugar. This is why you constantly hear how carbs increase blood sugar levels. Once the carbs are broken down, they get stored as either glycogen or fat.
2. Fat. Dietary fat gets broken down into glycerol and fatty acids. Have too much, and you will store dietary fat in the form of triglycerides. But do nost reduce your fat intake because you need it to maximize the production of fat burning hormones.
3. Protein. All protein is broken down to simpler units called amino acids. Once digested, these amino acids are reassembled and will form lean muscle tissue ONLY in a person who is exercising. Excess amino acids will have their nitrogen stripped away and will be burned as energy or stored as fat?
4. Alcoholic drinks. These will crush your fat loss efforts. Why? Because not only does alcohol get stored VERY easily as visceral (inside stomach) fat, but it also slows down your rate of fat loss. Not a good combination by any stretch of the imagination.
Your body has a limited capacity to store food as glycogen or muscle mass. So any excess here will get stored as body fat. I repeat: ANY excess gets stored as body fat.
Contrary to what many experts claim, excess dietary protein (or any macro nutrient) WILL be stored as body fat. So the key to any successful fat loss plan is the consumption of a balanced diet with a net negative caloric intake. Oh, and do not forget to avoid alcohol! - 30414
