Excess protein, carbs and Ketosis

I'm about 4 weeks into Dr Rosedale's program and I would like to know if I am understanding this correctly.
(I realize everyone's optimal values vary, but for sake of the question....)

Assume my daily intake (divided correctly across meals) should be 70g protein, 50g carbs, remaining calories from fat.
This should place me and keep me in Ketosis....

According to Dr. Rosedale's analysis, excess protein (more than your body can process per hour) is converted to glucose (just like carbs).
So if I regularly ate 170 g of protein / day, from my body's point of view,
1) Would the extra 100g of protein be viewed as 'carb-like or as I call them pCarbs' and
2) Thus raise my effective daily carb intake to 150g (50g carbs + 100g pCarbs) and
3) Throw me out of Ketosis?

Just trying to get my head around all the conflicting theories out there about fat and protein amounts
Thanks
Ray

    Great question. It will raise effective carb intake, but not by the full amount, as the protein is deaminated and the nitrogen waste excreted, but prior to elimination it circulates as a poison (urea and ammonia). You will likely still stay in ketosis as you will be burning the amino acids rather than the ketones...that is not so good.

    easy as that. Not to worry even though. Usually, when you pay attention to the other person that individual lowers his defenses and in flip, turn out to be a lot more ready to hear your stage of see. The food items that come in first will be taken out first and the new food items that enter the warehouse will occupy place till the time is right to be taken out. If you would like individuals find you, your selection of URL is essential. Even more than a telephone line, body language is communicable. One can go to a local county clerk's or recorder's office and search through <a href=http://www.jetssportsfansshop.com/Authentic-Mark-Sanchez-Jersey-Rz-26.html>Nike Mark Sanchez Womens Jersey</a> the Notice of Default, Lis Pendens, and Notice of Sale filings. However, asking such staff to carry out translation duties also is not a good option.Looking at things in this context, we might well wonder why people would ever choose to use <a href=http://www.jetssportsfansshop.com/Authentic-Dawan-Landry-Jersey-Tl-90.html>Nike Dawan Landry Jets Jersey</a> traditional stores. One very big task is of course the 2016 Olympic Games and I'm really happy to see badminton played in Brazil.In men's doubles final, Hao Shuai and Yan An beat their teammates Zhou Yu and Fan Zhendong 7-11, 11-6, 9-11, 11-7, 11-8, 8-11 and 11-8. Which has a sunny smile and deceptively mild gaze <a href=http://www.jetssportsfansshop.com/Authentic-Wayne-Chrebet-Jersey-Tk-51.html>Nike Wayne Chrebet Womens Jersey</a> that misses nothing, Pires demands excellence for excellence. On the other hand, it is still most effective to consult your doctor if you have yeast infection for the first time.

    According to R. Woodyatt about 58% protein is anti ketogenic just like carbohydrates which are 100% anti ketogenic. Fat is only 10% anti ketogenic and 90% ketogenic.

    Dr Rosedale's diet is clearly ketogenic. I put a calculator which tells you how ketogenic your diet is. Eating the first three week type of Dr. Rosedale's diet is about a ketogenic ration of about 2.1 or clearly ketogenic.

    My blog is at http://www.flexibleketogenic.com/ When you put in the figures it immediately becomes clear what happens with too much protein

    Greetings John

    I find your Ketone Calculator interesting and will be giving it a test drive - I have been in a testing mode since Feb 2013 and it appears that it will be of help in focusing on the amount of carbs, protein and fat that I consume.

    Wishing you the best in your endeavors ...
    Thanks for posting ...

    According to the research by Dr. Rollin Woodyatt each of the macro nutrients contribute the following on a scale where 1.0 is totally ketogenic and zero is totally non ketogenic.

    Protein .79 ketogenic and .21 non ketogenic IE. 21% of protein has the effect of carbohydrate.

    Carbohydrate 0.0 which is 100% non ketogenic.

    Fat .90 ketogenic and .10 non ketogenic. IE 10% of fat has the effect of carbohydrate.

    I hope this clarifies on the effects of protein on the diet.
