If you consume raw protein by itself, then it is likely to lose some yes.

The human body has the ability to convert protein to glucose for use as energy. However the human body does not have the ability that I know of.
You dont pee out protein, you dont pee out carbohydrates, you dont pee out fat - turn around and look at your backside to see where it comes out of.

Creatine turns into creatinine yep. Protein can affect insulin levels, so can aspartame, and so can simply thinking about food.

the conversion of protein into glucose is called glucosenisis(?sp) This usually occurs when too much protein is consumed and not enough fat or carbs. Protein can also cause insulin responses depending on the amt. taken in and the type, for instance whey is more more likely to cause and insulin response that tuna.

Correct your body can and will turn protein into glucose however this usually only happens when you don't take in enough carbs. There are people that go on no carb diets and think that they don't have any blood sugar in them and that they body will then just burn fat however the body is smarter than that.

I'm not stalking you NG, honest! The body can turn proteins, carbs and fat into body fat if eaten in excess. The carbon skeleton of proteins is used for glucose production in gluconeogenesis and also for fat production. The nitrogen part of proteins goes through the ornithine cycle and ends up as urea, which is peed out.
An excess of the wrong carbs raises serum insulin excessively, which is bad news (except after workouts). It also converts to pyruvate, then acetyl CoA, then fatty acids, then fat.
Dietary fat may or may not be stored as body fat, depending on insulin levels and the amount of fat. Some excess fat is excreted undigested. On low-carb diets, fatty acid consumption by muscles produces ketones which are then used by muscles, kidneys, nerves and brain. Excess ketones are also breathed and peed out."You lost fat by raising calories. Because of magic and voodoo. Or leptin. One of those." McDonald L.

Depends on many factors. How much is taken in, and the caloric expenditure for the rest of the day.Originally posted by HoldDaMayo

The good thing about glucosenisis is it takes energy to convert protien into glucose meaning you burn cals in the process.Originally posted by naturalguy
