In this video, we’re going to answer the question, can you get fat on too much protein?

When you consume protein, you trigger two hormones: insulin and glucagon. These are opposing hormones. While insulin stops fat burning, glucagon increases fat burning. This is why consuming too much protein does not cause you to put on fat on keto.

So if you’re replacing carbs with protein, you are most likely not going to put on more weight.

However, too much protein can…
• Slow down ketosis
• Cause sleepiness
• Cause bloating/constipation
• Lower sleep quality
• Cause indigestion
• Increase kidney or liver damage

Adding in intermittent fasting can help lower these side effects.
