    I like how I feel when I’m eating higher protein and more whole foods. Processed foods and fast foods make me feel terrible…but unfortunately if you’re not good at planning and prepping you’ll inevitably turn to quick and easy. It’s a discipline I haven’t mastered yet.

    I am a bodybuilder and I eat 1 gram per lb of bodyweight. .67/lb is a good number to reach for if one is not resistance training. One thing I see overlooked here is that protein is satiating!!!! It reduces cravings and takes a longer time to digest than most foods. You won't ve hungry for hours and you won't desire sugars as much!

    • @anthonymartino9917
      @anthonymartino9917 Рік тому +5

      I think they are mainly referring to the 'average person" non athlete or bodybuilder. I body build too and competed. Your 1 gram is a ROUGH estimate on how much you need to repair lean muscle tissue and if you are natural you need less actually. Actually you would get closer to the one gram per lb of bodyweight IF you are under 15 percent bodyfat only. If you are abouve that say 20 to 30 percent you need less maybe like .06 to .08 g per lb bodyweight.

I run (walk/run) 3 miles a day and do free weight and squat routine through the day (every time I pee LOL) . I finally feel great. My blood work is remarkably good after 10 years of struggling. My BP meds are going away, no more statins and my alt/ast are both down to 20!!! You should do a video on the latest glp1 agonists. Btw, I'm 71 this year and dropped from 235 to 190#.

I have been left in my urine and BM or refused my medication for pain because I feel my BP was too low, and I explain to them it is normal for me. I died twice in the last two years due to neglect by an anesthesiologist and a hospitalist who was not listening to me when there was a CFS leak in my back. I could go on and on.

    I take tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes mellitus. It's most prevalent side effect is weight loss. I'm 62 and not in great shape, so in order to lose fat and not muscle mass, I use protein supplements. It allows me to get in the calories I need (my appetite suppression on tirzepatide is so strong that I have trouble eating more than around 1100-1200kcal/day) plus the protein required to lose fat and not muscle. I realize that the body can convert protein to fat if it's not finely tuned, but my body fat % is going down while my muscle mass is going up, so I think I'm doing it right. I also do strength training several days/wk to tone the muscle I have. Every body is different, and I'm glad you stated that clearly when giving RDA "recommendations" -- the US RDA is pretty lousy anyway. This is the first video I've seen from you and I'll be subscribing to see more.

    Quinoa is a favorite of mine too and the way I like to eat it is right next to a big slab of another protein. Actually, I have been boiling it in smaller servings together in one pot lately with other whole grains, seeds, etc. Things like Brown rice, Barley, Wild rice... even Chia seeds make it into the kettle in their subsequent cooking time one after another. It gets a little richer than this many times with the type of fats like grated hard cheese, butter, oil... I guess that's more protein as well. Yummy, and I've lost close to 50 lbs over the last year, but I'm 6'3” and looked like a U.S., NFL offensive lineman in my youth, albeit a retired one nowadays. Hence the 50 pounds, (that wasn't muscle and good riddance) as muscle and fat came easily for me, just easier in my youthful years, probably from all the protein consumed.

    Great explanation Docs!
    There's a lot of misunderstanding about protein and you've given us a lot of good information!
    All proteins don't have to be meat, a number of foods have sufficient protein and learning how to use foods to benefit us is the key!
    I recently listened to someone who talked about diet and his favorite expression was KISS. Yes, keep it simple stupid was the best advice to not overthink it. Because that's what most people do!
    You don't have to get out the chemistry book or have a giant chart. Just section off your plate into categories and eat a well balanced meal.
    This is yet another example of good food for thought! And it's not surprising because we all have to eat! But we need to find a better way of consuming certain things!
    You've given us so many ways to better ourselves and you graciously share the information with us! 👍

      If you're trying to lose a lot of weight and/or are fairly active 1g is perfectly reasonable. Over 1.5g to 2g only makes sense if you want to gain a lot of muscle and intensively lift weights on most days. If you get less than 0.4g/lb than you'll risk an actual deficiency if you're anything more than sedentary.

      @@mikafoxx2717 fat cells also need upkeep or they won't function as healthy fat cells making things even worse. That takes protien.
      Even if fat cells took no protein themselves any significant body fat % is an appreciable load on muscle, bone and organs anyway. If you short that for long it can be all kinds of trouble to correct.
      Over doing protiens a little is no big deal as you still need a calorie surplus to gain weight whether thsrs as muscle or fat. Undercutting it can slow your metabolism and boost cravings while costing muscle. That combination can quickly cause weight to spiral especially as one gets a bit older.

      I am a bodybuilder and I eat 1 gram per lb of bodyweight. .67/lb is a good number to reach for if one is not resistance training. One thing I see overlooked here is that protein is satiating!!!! It reduces cravings and takes a longer time to digest than most foods. You won't ve hungry for hours and you won't desire sugars as much!

This is a such a gross fallacy, but it's often acted upon. It really varies depending upon your routine. If you're an athlete, then you're protein intake should be carefully corroborate with that activity, and that will be much higher than the typical person.
