Yeah, it's been in my experiences that dietary protein is more lipogenic than carbohydrate. Of course, this likely means I have some sort of impairment with storing glycogen, because the only way for protein to be converted into fat is for it to first go through gluconeogenesis.
And this pathway for protein is only going to be upregulated in the presence of inferior glycogen storage. But I lost some additional weight just by replacing some protein in my diet with more carbs.
And like, at the time, I didn't really think I needed to lose weight. I've never been excessively fat. So I thought that was crazy, when I flattened out more by REDUCING protein. You never hear of that, lol. All you hear is to eat MORE protein if you wanna lose weight. But oh well, maybe I'm just weird backwards, lmao.
Do you have an eye on your bodycomp? Did you lose fat, muscle or water, or combinations?
