I have been following Autumn’s advice for IF since early August. I started out using her protein calculation (weight in pounds/ 2.2) x 1.2 and divided that number by 3 for 3 meals. Walk 8,500 to 10,000 steps daily. Works wonder for me. Feel so happy! Thank you Autumn.
I was a size 8 after Covid staying home now I am back to size 2. I have been adding more weight training to my weekly exercise since mid March. So much energy and don’t feel hungry between meals anymore. Not sure about the total weight loss since I don’t have a scale.
My only constructive feedback is the calculation of 1.6g protein per kilogram of body weight. By that calculation, a 400 lb (181 Kg) person will require 290g protein. That's a lot of protein. Conversely, a 90 lb (41 kg) person will require 66g protein. That doesn't seem adequate. An alternative is to calculate the amount of protein per a person's muscle mass, since it is the muscles that require the most protein. If you don't know your muscle mass, you could calculate your protein requirement by ideal body mass. For a female, the calculation is 100g of protein up to five feet tall, then 5g protein for each inch above five feet tall. So, a 5'6" female would require 130g protein. For a male, the calculation is 110g protein for up to five feet tall, then 5g for each inch above five feet tall. So, a 5'10 male will require 160g of protein. These numbers seem more realistic. I use this formula and my most recent BUN, creatinine, & BUN:creatinine ratio were in the middle of my ranges. Just my two cents worth.
Are you talking about measuring the protein from the nutrition panel not just the weight of the food? Eg food might weigh 20gms but the nutrition panel will indicate that’s only 4gms of proteins. I’m so confused about how much protein 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Hey Autumn. I just came across your channel and it has brought so much more insight into my life. I was wondering your thoughts on Hemp protein? From what I am seeing it is pretty healthy, high in protein, fiber, and has omegas in it. I just wanted to know your thoughts on it. I get mine from Trader Joe's. Thank you!
I'm so glad I found your channel .. I have been eating well, but am certainly cleaning up my diet and now am mindful of my intermittent fasting hours/eating hours ... I have been a walker/runner but am walking more now and doing workout videos ...I'm finding it easier to delete nighttime snacks now...they were the culprit of my weight gain (mostly) and keep the : protein/fat/fiber ratio for meals ... THANKS!!! I am 60 so do not expect to look like you( HAHAHA) but am in really good cardio shape and just want to lose 10 lbs for optimum weight/BMI ... I like to fit exercise in every day
I like this channel. I’ve learned a lot. I’m a tad suspect of encouraging a community to fast during pregnancy or postpartum and eat canned tuna during pregnancy or postpartum. ❤
lllloool I used to rack my brain about what "50 g of protein" meant, it is one of those things that once you know the answer, you may not think of mentioning, or clarifying rather, but when someone with my sort of education comes in and hears it, it's like "wait, which one are we talking about" - glad you clarified it, you should definitely mention that from time to time, for new guys
Autumn...noticing the protien calculation chgd from your older video. It was lbs/2.2 x 1.4 but now lbs x .73 x 1.4 which is much higher. Wondering which is actually best? The first is 94 gms and the second is 150 gms.... 94 seems right? I am using 147 lbs.
People comment on my videos and say that targeting +100g of protein in my OMAD is silly because you don't digest that volume of proteins effectively in one sitting, any truth to that?
Dr Emily Lantz did one of the studies proving the body cannot use more than about 30 grams of protein at a meal. You can find her on with Dr Gabrielle Lyons podcast last week.
@@megzpittle3592 I would think that people use omad tolose weight and to cut maybe, and then go back to getting their daily recs for protein. I really don’t know and it’s a question I wondered about
Isn’t the protein calculation based on the goal weight and not current weight? For those of us who have 40 lbs + to lose, it’s almost impossible to get that much protein. I’d be eating all the time, would not be able to do IF or eat only when hungry. Even 100 grams is a lot
What you are now. Otherwise you’ll be super hungry eating protein for ideal weight.😀 However, Autumn talked about BMI too. If the BMI is over 30, there is a number to use for grams of protein calculation.
Want to be! For example, my goal weight is 125 lbs, so I aim to eat 125 gm of protein daily. (I was previously told to use 1 to 1 ratio - makes it simple). Never less than 100 gm which is more in line with Autumns calculations (I’m currently 139 lbs).
This channel has several videos on protein calculations. It may be worth a look. I shoot for 30 grams of protein per meal (which is not enough.) But I can’t eat much more if I’m going to eat vegetables as well! And I believe I need the nutrients found in vegetables. Good Luck to you.
Just make small changes. Autumn has some protein swaps for non meat options. There are other approaches to nutrition and weight loss which are not high protein. However it’s easier to intermittent fast if you work on reducing refined carbohydrates and increasing protein and fat (and fiber) first. For me, this final weight loss journey is a marathon not a sprint. You’ve gotta be able to work with your nutrition lifestyle for the long run. Good Luck to you!
Hi Autumn, Congratulations on your sweet baby! I love your channel. I fast in the mornings & recently switched my morning coffee w/ 1tsp. of heavy cream to, coffee w/ 2tsp cacao powder. Is this still considered fasting? Can you speak at all to the benefits of eating 2tsp. of cacao powder? Thanks!💕
What about just 1 :1 ratio can that hurt me vs .73 per lb i know you cant store protien so i hate to be wasting my steak and expenive protien yogurt and whey
I too love liver. my grandparents kept chicken, so we often had liver access >< my mom thinks that the only reason I love liver so much, is cause I had it often as a kid. which makes sense, it does have distinctive taste, and um, structure? I guess, you wouldn't expect meat to crumble in your mouth. anyway, maybe when Sage starts to eat solids, you might want to get her used to eating liver, it's a good skill to have
I’m so frustrated… I follow your guide and I have maintained for months. 60kg, 34g protein, 3 clean healthy meals, exercise everyday (alternate walk day, walk/weights next day)… I don’t get what I’m doing wrong.
Same - I believe for me it’s my age and hormones. I am older (just turned 58) I am lifting 2x a week, spin 2-3x/week and either tabata or TRX once a week
Yes. Full fat. Watch out for the salt content, since 1 cup has quite a lot of sodium. There is low sodium or no sodium cottage cheese, but it's not always easy to find and it can be, well, kind of tasteless and gummy.
Thanks for providing the high quality protein list. It will be very helpful with protein choices as too much dairy aggravates my allergies. Thank you!

How much have you lost?

She has explained that if there is excess weight, the intake of proteins should be that matched to the ideal goal weight
@janetperezcovacevich2236 Understood, but she based it on BMI, which is an arbitrary number.
this is a good calculation too! pretty close for mine both ways.
thanks !
Seems like a lot of food

❤❤❤ awesome content!! I am a huge believer!!

Agree, no fasting during pregnancy.
3 meals a day!
*Cries* I was diagnosed with histamine sensitivity. No more cottage cheese, Skir or other fermented foods. I love them SO MUCH! Now what? *sigh*

It’s just lbs x.73. The 1.4 factor is for if you use kg. So its either kg x 1.4 OR lbs x .73
@@miasherevancethanks!!!
I get way more than what is suggested. Says I need 75 I eat around 130
Is pumpkin protein a complete protein?
Is pumpkin puree high in starch?

Eat the protein first, your capacity for protein intake will increase.
Calculate the pounds I Want to be? Or what I am now? Currently 216lbs. I want to be 170 (5’5”)
What you are now.
Otherwise you’ll be super hungry eating protein for ideal weight.😀

I have no idea how I’m going to get 128 grams of protein when I hate eating meat 😩. This is so freaking hard.
I was the same as you and something miraculous happened. The more I started eating meat little by little, the more I craved it

calories break a fast. So, cream or cacao will break the fast.
Nice livestream, Autumn!
Thanks
Not needing to lose weight but would like to build muscle. Any tips on that I'm 56
Caloric surplus of about 200 kcal with consistent resistance training where you progressively overload will help!
Should you eat seeded bread with high protein meat
Canned tuna...in water or oil?
Aiming for 130 g protein. Easy peasy. 💖💖💖

153 for me. It sounds like a lot! 😮
😮I know mine reads 135.4! How are we to get it all in? 😢
Autumn, I am currently 158 lb and my gold weight is 135. Should I be calculating my protein on my goal weight or what I currently weigh? Please advise
Current weight :)
??? What do you think about Premier Protein shakes???
Do you creamer in your coffee? If so; can you provide the name. Thanks.
She uses Nut Pods.

34 g protein per meal, right? Not 34 g a day.
@@belovedbytheKing yes. 34g protein per meal.
What percentage cottage cheese do you recommend???
I believe Autumn recommends full fat dairy for increased satiety.
yes, thanks! I bought the full fat cottage cheese today and had some on my dinner! :)@@charissehampton2907
Yes. Full fat. Watch out for the salt content, since 1 cup has quite a lot of sodium. There is low sodium or no sodium cottage cheese, but it's not always easy to find and it can be, well, kind of tasteless and gummy.
129 gm
what kind of sausage??? sorry, so many comments ... LOL!!
135 of protein for me
92 grams for me
