[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1944246"] GNG may well be demand driven. In fact I’m sure it is, but that doesn’t change the fact that excess amino acids are either going to get turned into glucose or excreted in the urine. There is no mechanism with which they can be stored in the body without first converting to glucose so that de novo lipogenesis can convert the glucose to fat. The likes of Jason Fung and Tim Noakes hold this view so it’s definitely not a fairy tale. Perhaps it’s this “demand” for GNG that determines whether the protein is either turned into glucose, or excreted? Interesting. In the case of the former occurring, the measurable effect would be greatly determined by your current level of insulin sensitivity. In the case of the latter, some say that it’s damaging to the kidneys, although I have no opinion on that. I’m not arguing of course. It’s cool if you can consume as much protein as you like. I just find the science of it fascinating :D [/QUOTE]
