Some of you who are on a ketogenic diet may not feel very well after your protein shake, especially whey protein. (1/5)
But it's not necessarily because you are having a reaction to dairy. More likely, it's the amino acid profile and amount. (2/5)
Leucine, alanine, cysteine, glycine, arginine, serine, and proline are ketogenic amino acids that can affect serum glucose concentration and insulin sensitivity. (3/5)
What does this mean? It means your protein shake may be raising your insulin and lowering your ketone production. So what do you do? (4/5)
Use less. Try your shake with 1-2 TBSPs and add a fat source. See how you feel. #ketones (5/5)
