Protein and fat

**jake-04** · 02-09-2001, 11:19 AM

i was in a GNC the other day and was looking at the lables of some of the deit fuel and ripped quick stuff. the girl working there came up to me and said, "if your looking to lose fat, us whey protein. because protein eats fat." i had never heard that before, protein EATING fat. i'm not any sort of expert by a long shot but this isn't true is it. protein doesn't eat fat, it just isn't turned into fat if its not used, right. if i'm wrong someone correct me.

I have no idea what she meant by that!

If you're trying to get lean, you do want to lower carb and fat intake, and raise protein intake. Maybe, that was what she was referring to.

Thermo's, such as Ripped fuel, are effective in assisting with weight loss as well. But, I am a big believer in geting your diet in order first!

i was just confused. i've always used protein to supplement my deit, but i always thought like you, low carbs, low fat, and protein to build lean muscle, and a good cardio program. i just never heard of that.

by the way, can you tell me how to change the junior under my name. i'm 22 years old. not that i wouldn't mind being 14 or 15 again.thanks

Protein eating fat is ridiculous!!! Either she didn't know what she was talking about, you misunderstood her, or she was trying to make a sale with misleading information!

But did she have big boobs? heheheh

Cause if she did, like me, you were probably looking and wasn't realy listening to what she was saying.

You make a comment like that Scotty and then you try to convince me that you don't know what the picture gallery is! LOL

lol, GNC always hires really qualified people.

I've heard that to metabolize protein your body burns some fat, but even if that is true, I don't think it wouldn't be enough to lose weight.

acctually, she wasn't much to look at, so beleive me, i wasn't checking out her rack.
if she was stacked, i wouldn't have heard the protein eating fat thing. or anything else she said for that matter. lol.

anyways thanks for clearing that up, must have been a new or uninformed girl. thanks again.....
