Excess protein will be converted to glucose. If you eat too much protein you will get an insulin surge, and can knock yourself out of ketosis.

It is true that the body can convert protein into glucose but it is a slow and inefficient process. As such I doubt if it could cause and 'insulin surge'.
I would be very interested if anyone could show me any report or study where this is discussed. |
