Whey protein, natural sugars, yogurt, and lean animal protein is just another way that you can seemingly healthily get excess calories.

The body treats excess calories generally the same. Maybe not so much with vegetables and fruits because of …. well, diarrhea. But everything else goes through the same glycogen and fat storage pathway.

Excess fat then will create visceral fat which will then spill into the liver’s circulation leading to inflammatory fatty acids that cause fatty liver.

From there we get ectopic fat in the heart muscle, skeletal muscle, and other organs.
