It could be that in the presence of excess insulin, that protein is converted to sugar or fat, but we have to keep in mind that what happens in the presence of insulin, does not neccesarily happen in a low insulin state. Fat is a perfect example of that. We all know that excess fat is immediately and without conversion stored as fat in the presence of high insulin, however in low insulin, it is not.

That wikipedia answer, I'd be willing to bet, is pertaining to a high insulin state, such as the normal diet would be. Wikepedia is not my go-to source for information.

I did pose that question to him in his blog, what happens to the excess protein, and the funny thing is, he answered every question posted yesterday...except mine. It still shows waiting for moderation. I think he musta missed it.
