Can you get enough from protein from plants? (00:00-01:17) Plant-based proteins like legumes, tofu, tempeh, and plant milks can meet protein needs, even for fitness goals. (01:18-02:00) Supplements like pea or rice protein help achieve optimal intake for muscle building. (02:01-04:18) Plant proteins offer fiber, polyphenols, and reduce cardiometabolic disease risk, benefiting gut health and muscle. (07:00-08:53) Gradual transitions and flavorful preparation make adopting plant proteins easier. (11:12-13:03) A Harvard study shows swapping animal protein with plant protein improves healthy aging and reduces disease risk.
Eating only meat has never worked for me - the smell, the grease, the horrible practices of slaughterhouses, not to mention the many scientific studies over decades supporting the health of a diet based mostly on plants. I find eating mostly plants with small amounts of fish and lean meat several times a week to work perfectly. I'm 64 and have never felt healthier. I'm sure the vast reduction of ultra-processed food and sugar also contributes a great deal to the results.
I'm 68 and did vegan for a year, then added fish and finally couldn't do it any more. I eat lean meat (and a heart surgeon I follow eats red meat, which I will do as a guest) I could not eat enough of all those seeds and beans to get nearly enough protein. I try to eat them once or twice a week and that's it. My parents lived a long time and I'm very conscious of my health - and enjoyment of life.
I agree with your final sentence and your comments regarding many awful aspects of animal farming & slaughter. Your first sentence is down to your personal preference. But the nutritional science you imply is "established fact" is anything but. It's a process of continuing discovery and much is being revealed about the pros & cons of plant / animal nutrition...at the highest levels of research. Meat, fish & sea food in their purest forms are incredibly nutritious and health-promoting for humans...as are many plants of course.
Have been wholefood plant based for 15 years and am now 73. Am fit and healthy and slim. Have lots of energy. I love the way we eat and my doc is impressed how healthy I am and no meds whatsoever! We fast walk every day.
Does age matter? All the chatter about us in our sixties requiring more protein. Have been plant based four years. Not weight training like I did before going plant based. Love being plant based. Don't want to go back to eating meat. 65 years old, active, light weight training. Should I be concerned about protein intake for optimal, and healthy aging in my senior years? Thanks!
These cut down videos miss so much of the context and the message seems a bit off for the first half of the video. Title should probably be: What to eat for those doing olympic level muscle building ( with a bit at the end about vegan life expectancy)
Probably worth watching the other Zoe video: "Everything you know about protien is wrong" video with Christoper Gardner as well as this one he seems to play down your need for protien. It all leads back to lots of plants, beans, legumes etc again though.
Not true, please look up Christopher Gardner's explanations of plant vs animal based protein, he lays it out in a very clear and easy to understand way. Paraphrasing here: all plants have all essential amino acids, but some AA's will be present in relatively low and high quantities, which is why a diverse range of whole plant based foods (grains, legumes, vegetables, nuts and seeds) provides a good spread of these's AA's. All protein gets broken down to these AA's and at that point your body does not care wether it came from a steak or from green peas, it can use them just as well. The RDA isn't that high, and has safety measures built in; it's not some poverty ration! It should suffice the vast majority of the population, 95+ % of all people. It's quite easy to get the RDA and then some, just by eating whole plant foods. Specific groups with low energy and high protein needs may have to be more intentional about which foods they eat (favoring foods like tofu, tempeh, spelt and quinoa and hemp seeds over, say, potatoes, dates and great quantities of cooking oil), but it can be done. This coming from someone (myself, that is, not Dr. Gardner who IIRC is vegan) who eats a pescetarian twist on the EAT Lancet proposed diet. I'm not vegan, but I get at least 75% of my protein from plants and not suffering for it. If I had to guess I eat about 45/40/15 % carbs, fats and protein, and I enjoy every meal I eat.
@@Annique Well, that's Dr Gardner for you! ZOE love him to bits! But remember he's biased against meat, morally and ethically, which doesn't necessarily equate to a balanced perspective on healthy nutrition for most humans.
The bioavailability of plant protein can vary depending on the source and how it's prepared. While some claim that plant proteins are less bioavailable than animal proteins (with an average of around 50-80% compared to animal protein at 90-99%), the 17% figure is not accurate for most plant-based sources. Legumes, soy, quinoa, and other well-rounded plant proteins are highly digestible and can easily meet protein needs when consumed in sufficient quantities and variety. Cooking and sprouting can also improve the digestibility and bioavailability of plant proteins.
All good advise except that "Protein" doesn't mean complete amino acid. Seitan which he mention is very high in protein, but doesn't contain all the essential amino acid required to build muscles. Eating low fat, grass- fed meat or chicken is a better choice in addition to what Dr. Bulsiewicz suggests.
@@skippy6462 "Protein" doesn't mean complete essential amino acid which requires to build muscles. That not to say that meat is the only source, but legumes don't contain the proper variety of essential amino acid either, you need to eat it in combination with other plant based element in order to have all the needed amino acids. There are very few plant based food the contain ALL the needed amino acid such as Amaranth and Quinoa.
The result of a meat only diet will result in the following (not all, but any of them are horrific)... Iron overload (from excessive heme iron intake), vitamin deficiencies (e.g., A, K, E), electrolyte imbalances, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, gallstones, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, increased risk of stroke, impaired endothelial function, atherosclerosis, exacerbation of autoimmune diseases, increased risk of diverticulitis, metabolic acidosis, dehydration (from protein overconsumption), impaired kidney function (due to high protein load), reduced bone mineral density, higher uric acid levels, kidney stones, cognitive decline (from lack of polyphenols and essential brain nutrients), increased risk of mood disorders (from lack of plant-based antioxidants), worsened skin health (e.g., acne, dermatitis), poor dental health (lack of fibre for oral cleaning), higher susceptibility to infections (lack of immune-supportive micronutrients), elevated trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels, reduced physical endurance, liver stress, hormonal disruptions (from lack of phytoestrogens or dietary fibre), impaired satiety regulation, decreased lifespan, accelerated aging (due to oxidative stress and absence of antioxidants), poor digestive motility (lack of fibre), increased chronic inflammation, higher exposure to foodborne pathogens (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella), impaired vascular flexibility, higher levels of ammonia in the body, lack of beneficial plant compounds (e.g., flavonoids, carotenoids), reduced protection against neurodegenerative diseases, poor eye health (from lack of lutein and zeaxanthin), weakened hair and nail quality (from missing micronutrients) and explosive diarrhoea.

More importantly it doesn't work for all the innocent individuals being bred into existence for the sole purpose of being exploited and abused

They've gone into rambling mode. I was completely addicted to their podcasts until they started chopping them up and giving them click bait titles.
How do I balance my blood sugars with vegan protein???
google 'mastering diabetes' Type 1 diabetics who seem to know their stuff
Go plant based!🌱
Aluminum in soy?

Plants need the poop of animals to grow healthy so don’t exclude both 🤷🏽♀️
I’ve been using compost to grow my veg. There is herbicide in most manure from the chemically drenched feed.
Plant based protein is only 17% bio available.

Let’s make it simple and let’s eat meat.
Let’s not.
It's not as simple as just eating meat-ethical, environmental, and health factors make the decision more complex.
Ew meat

Chickens aren't raised on grass
Plants provide all the essential amino acids needed for protein, making meat unnecessary for a complete diet.

No and we do not need to eat a single plant to be healthy!!
Lol
Go do a colonoscopy, ah 😂
You can believe that all the way to an early death
