I've been in field of studying supplements for a long time and only know whey proteins to be the opposite of your description. Whey proteins have the highest (BV) biological value of proteins listed. Meaning they have the best absorption rate. There is no need to take an enzyme unless a person is lactose intolerant. Whey Isolate is a good choice for lactose intolerance.

The proper amount of intake and the BV rating it is doubtful there will be any significant conversion to fat. In fact though it may cause more work for the kidneys it would more likely end up in the toilet than converted to fat. However, if you find something (a studied article) that I have not seen before that supports your statement I would like to know.

You only need the support if you are taking just whey i should have specified. You should be fine. Actually we are all kinda taking this way to far. Just get as much protein as you can with as few calories and side junk as you can and keep burning more calories than you eat and you will loose weight. Just remember a pound of fat is said to be worth 3500 calories. Good luck
