Thanks guys, as a weightlifter I always wondered this. You two still crack me up, Please keep the videos coming. Appreciated!!
Gosh I love these guys droll sense of humor. Their delivery of what otherwise might be boring medical and nutritional education is very engaging and informative.
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.
Yes more whole foods is the goal. And less animals ideally to reduce their negative health impact. Best of luck
Seems we could all benefit from some schooling on the planning, prepping, and discipline part, that's where the rubber meets the road
Protein shakes and bars are the worst. I stopped using them. I do have to prep more but I'm healthier
@@starrjohnson1327 Why? What KIND were you eating? Protein "shakes" as you call them are really just either whey concentrate, plant, or whey isolate usually and are just a food supplement. They are to be used to SUPPLIMENT your normal solid food protein intake but they are still a food.
One of my tricks is I may cook a steak that's like 20 ounces. I can't eat it all and I do like a leftover "nacho' thing(no chips) the next day. I will use some tomato and cheese, sour cream and lots of steak. Yummy. Very few carbs and uses all of the steak and is fast.
Your explanation of amino acids forming protein, the uses of proteins and protein in your diet are excellent. I’m a retired biology/genetics teacher. if I was still teaching, I’d show this video to my classes. Thank you.
Wow Sheldon that is high praise. Thank you so much and for educating our children!
Had surgery for a hematoma extraction and the area where the drain was would never heal. Got referred to the Wound Clinic and they dramatically increased my protein - became a full time job to get it all in. With their other treatments, it healed pretty quickly.
You should see the old diet for healing from full body burns.. it's like three two dozen eggs a day or something. Plus other stuff.
I’m glad to hear that your hematoma extraction healing went well along with your protein intake. Increase to help with that specific issue.
Thank you for explaining this . Y'all have a wonderful evening & Sunday
You too Kubota
I just love, love you two! Always informative and always delivering with tons of humor and laughter.
Doing our best. Thanks
Thanks Docs, love all your content as you keep it so easy to understand.
Doing our best
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!
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.
“Bodybuilder “ 😂😂😂😂😂
For the past 4 months I've been using terzipitide to lose weight. I used a protein shakes to add to my diet because ate so little. 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#. Feeling good and a big fan of you guys.
Nice work
Absolutely love listening to what you guys have to say!
Such a wealth of knowledge & information delivered with alittle humour ! Perfect..
thanks guys 😊👍
Thanks so much Jules
Many thanks for this info and you are excellent with your info ❤❤
Love you guys @Talking With Docs! Always great info! I always come back to your channel for real trusted medical information. Good news for me after 3.5yrs, I'm going in for hip resurfacing surgery on my one hip a few months later, my second hip. Though, I'm excited about this, I'm a little scared. I've never been in a hospital for surgery. Would be great if you could post a video for newbies panicked about going into surgery . Especially hip resurfacing surgery. It's been a long road, still fear the unknown very scary.
We do have videos about the different types of anesthetic and we talked about resurfacing in a video abkur Andy Murray. Best of luck
Thank you for this important information ❤ I appreciate all of you.
Our pleasure!
Great info! Thanks, Docs!
Excellent information as always! Thank you doctors for continuing these videos.
Welcome
Awesome talk/video….thank you
Wow! It seems like last month you hit 300k subscribers. Suddenly you are well on your way to 400k. Congrats!!! Love your channel. Learn lots. I have been changing my diet and activity thanks you. I can see my feet now. A year ago I couldn't see the floor. Thanks guys.
I know right?! isn't it great! =) Congratulations on getting healthy.
Thanks so much Gord!
Thanks L
I absolutely love you guys. I've been watching you since you started. You're my go-to source for general knowledge. I make sure to include my Dr's point-of-view for health issues, but you guys head me in the right direction. You also generate perfect synergy - great pairing. Thanks for everything.
Thanks! Doing our best
A good discussion on proteins and an overview of usage and elimination. I suppose you could have made it a bit more complex and discussed the biological value of various proteins, but I think for most folks what you presented was perfect :)
Yeah that's the goal. Keep it simple
Thank you for the very informative videos.
Thank you as always docs! Happy Birthday Dr.Weening!
Thank you Patricia
Thanks again, docs. So interesting and useful, as per usual!
Welcome
I'm SO glad that you covered this topic. I have been searching for months and keep getting conflicting information. Thank you so much. And as always, I love the humor too =)
Welcome L
Hey Docs, I love all of your videos, I wish do a video medical ptsd and how real it is. How to explain to their surgeons, anesthesia doctors, nursing staff how serious and how it cause more trauma to patient if they unwill to listen or belief what the patient is trying to explain to them and how sometimes patient can't show expressive pain because of trauma I wish do video on to explain to providers and medical staff! Thank you so much for making so many great educational videos. I try to watch every single one. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to do this and thank you for being doctors! Linda from Texas!
Welcome Linda. We can add PTSD to our list for sure. It is VERY real. Sorry you are struggling with this
@@TalkingWithDocs Thanks. I have struggled with it for 5 years. I have never struggled with it; I am so scared of doctors, anesthesia docs, and nurses because I was neglected or lied to. 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. That would be wonderful because if a doctor sees your videos, they may be more willing to listen or care. Thanks for listening, and I do love your videos; you guys are so funny! Keep up the great work in educating us.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Best doc’s on UA-cam!
Agreed
Another Canadian here
Dr eric berg is 😂😂 shits all over these lol they good but eric is on another level 😊
Thanks Jackie!
@@CalvinCooke18 nutrition and functional medicine is not a topic the regular doctor know much about since they study less than 20 hours of nutrition in medical school.
@@CalvinCooke18 why does one have to be better then the other? I've watched Bergs videos and they're good too.
As always, informative and fun. Thanks!
Glad you liked it Torger
"A ticket to the gun show." LOL You guys are great!!! Your latest videos are always a subject of conversation at the dog park... We talk about your videos while the dogs are playing (being dogs). Without a doubt the best videos on the internet. Thanks Much.
Why thank you John. We both have dogs!
Good video and appreciate bringing up the variables.
Some cant digest proteins or process them when they do. Thats another video for ya.
Happy belated BDay Dr. W
Thanks
good to know and entertaining to watch and yes its good to try different types of food.
Agree Joseph
Thank you doctors for the excellent research and video.
Our pleasure!
Love these videos, these guys are funny , not bad to look at and Im learning also👍👏👏😍
Your videos are so great - very fun to watch (and informative)! Thanks! (also love the mention of plant-based proteins)
Glad you like them! Thanks so much
Omg you two you can make anything numerous! Very informative video!
Thanks Terry!
Thanks Docs! I love your videos. Lots of good info. I really like the way you two tip toe around just to the edge of being silly. Really cute. Keep it up. 💖
Our pleasure!
Great vid. I noticed when you talked about low albumin you showed a lady laying in a hospital bed. In my experience as a lab tech, people who are prone have a lower albumin…argued with an internist about this who said all our albumins are low…I won this one when I showed him the studies.
When's the Christmas video coming? I liked that old one about don't fall off the roof when you are putting up Christmas lights. This Xmas is a real bummer for me. I'd like to talk about it but nobody cares or want to listen. I sure missed you docs. Glad to be back❤❤.
Thank you😊 That was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
So...this was super helpful! I have Osteopenia/Osteoporosis...do not want to take the drugs...I was listening to a UA-cam doctor who specializes in these "diseases ", and he was saying that protein is essential...1 gram per pound of weight...this seemed a bit excessive... I usually avoid excessive type things. I am 76...relatively active, and try to follow a balanced healthy diet. You gave me reason to to continue this journey...thanks so much!
Yes that's a bit much
A big hearty hello from a Frenchwoman from Normandy! I love your videos. They’re informative, quick-paced, but not so quick that all the information blurs into impenetrable jargon. Thank you.
Dear Doctors, you are great - Yentl !! juaaa !! amazing teaching videos. More importantly you give all of a us the opportunity to make our own decision, be mindful and aware to take better care of our own health. Thank you for doing these videos.
Welcome
Just when I think I know something about the subject, I watch your video and realize I didn't know anything! LOL So, as a vegetarian I'm still getting enough protein! That's definitely good to know!! Thank you, Docs!
You sure are
You made my day with this info. Unfortunately my Dr didn’t want to talk much about this subject.
Glad we did!
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.
You guys are a hoot....I mean"two hoots". Thanks for all the great info and great humor added! I get a lot from your videos!
Great information guys !
Thanks
Great timing.
I dialed in my derailleur for perfect gear shifts and Chef John just posted a peri-peri chicken recipe!
Exercise. Protein. 👍🏻
And my wife’s Swiss chard from her garden of course.
Thank you doctors!
Welcome
Doctors are in the house ....Dankie - Thank You love from Johannesburg South Africa ...
Thanks!!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm diabetic, (male, 60, 95kg) and was under the belief that if protein helps to offset carbs, more protein is better. So I would intentionally eat a high protein diet to offset the carbs I was taking in...to the point that I was overdoing it with carbs. On my last physical, my doc mentioned to me that I had a fatty liver. I was wondering where that came from...but your explanation makes perfect sense! Thanks for explaining in terms a layperson can easily understand!
Protein is necessary for sure just not too much
Very good information. My husband and I still go by the amount of protein should be the size of a deck of cards. You don't need a brontosaurus burger.
Agreed
Thank you Bob! ❤
Bob? Thanks for watching.
My daughter dated a football player who used to put 9 scoops of protein into a shake and eat that every day. I couldn't believe he needed that much. I think the fitness industry has done some of these kids a bad service in not explaining how to use protein supplements well.
They sure have. Mostly about selling and the people talking often don't know anything
That's ridiculous and stupid. The Mr olympia wouldn't even do that.
I'm going to assume that was probably a weight gainer shake because those require several scoops to get to the goal calories. It's usually composed of protein and carbs. So while it could have been a lot of bulk powder, it might have been my moderate protein and likely more carbs. If it wasn't then I would agree that is likely overkill!
“You are in charge of your own health” Absolutely 👍
As always......awesome!!!!!
Thanks!
Awesome discussion, anything we should take with proteins to help with breakdown and absorption?
Ironically insulin helps protein absorption so some carbs with your meal are useful. Stomach acid is required so antacids are problematic. Also stress has been shown to reduce absorption
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.
Nice work. Love the quinoa
Eat some meat ffs
I was once on a low carb diet about 30 years ago and ate so much meat. I am sure I was getting way more protein than I needed.
Thank you for keeping us informed Dr's.
Very welcome
Thanks for this info. I use Premier Protein mainly because I'm on Weight Watchers and it's only two points and for my diabetic hubby it doesn't raise his blood sugar. They go down nicely on those days when we don't feel like eating lunch. I'm 69, he's 81. Both in reasonably good health.
Fair enough Nancy
@dr zalzal, your french is good! Merci pour ton émission.
De rien
I was overweight some years ago (117kg) and lost like 40kg... My diet was protein based and low carb... Now i am trying to stay stable with mostly plant based foods and minor amount of meat (i love meat but as i know, too much is not healty for the cardiovascular system and, like you said, for kidney)... Thank you for your informative video ❤️
Very welcome and congrats
I'm glad I found this channel I've gotten a lot of good information on it thank you both you I thought you should eat protein after an exercise is this true😊
So yes. It not any extra really unless you are a bodybuilder or endurance athlete
Thanks again, my fav guys in blue for telling it like it is! 😃😃
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! 👍
It's no wonder your popularity has grown! I've been watching you for years and learned ages ago how relatable you two are!
You are a wealth of knowledge as well as humor and that's why your channel is growing!
Thanks for sharing another great video and teaching people all over the world!
Thanks so much Vickie. Well said
Thank you. Here I'd make a organic protein powder, almond butter, milk, blueberries, ice shake mixed well for breakfast but I've learned I guess that's no good 😮.
Watching as I drink down my Premier Protein cafe latte shake. 😅
Oh man
Lord
This is so refreshing to find out that I really don't need so much protein like I just saw a different video where someone was recommending 1 gram for each pound of body weight. There is no way I could eat that much! So glad I'm on the right track. Thank you for your expertise on relevant issues of today!
So welcome. A lot of misinformation out there for sure and we are obsessed with protein!
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.
@@johnassal5838 I would say per lean body mass, not including fat cells, because they don't need protein refreshing.
@@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!
I am age 73.
I have little appetite. Can't eat gluten or dairy.
Hard to keep up my protein intake.
My PCP says...."drink Boost or Ensure" ...yuck!
My go to is organic bone broth. 10 grams of protein per cup.
I can control my food cravings better with a higher amount of protein and it also seems to keep my glucose level from spiking when I eat carbs. I have IBS and cannot eat legumes or high fiber foods so I pretty much eat lean, good quality meats, poultry, fish and some of the veggies that I can tolerate. Yes! Everyone is different and I am glad that you said that.
Thanks for sharing Linda
I’m similar, Linda. IBS plus gluten, dairy, hypoglycaemic too. Past 40 years, but still managing to be fairly active for my age.
Tofu: 20 grams/cup, and tempei: 30 grams/cup...and nuts and seeds has also high amounts- try them on top of your (plant based) your overnight oats ;)
For sure
I am trying to heal up from 3 surgeries since Dec. I have swallowing issues. I’m not a little girl either was 357 down to 235, so I could have this surgery (the 1st one😬). My THR was good but I ended up with tunnels running all over. They push protein how much is the right amount? I know u are very busy but thank you. From the Land of Oz
Thanks your so much fun to watch and learn, so glad you said peanut butter , figure eating cashews and other nuts works
also guess chocolate can’t be counted.
Yes to other nuts. Sorry about the chocolate but no 🤣
Thank you for including plant based sources, i appreciate that!
Even if they overemphasize the "quality" bit...
I'm 67 years young and swim three times a week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, I don't eat much before 1/2 a banana and 1 cup of coffee with 1 oz. of 1/2 'n 1/2, Total swim distance per swim is 2600-3000 meters; =9000 /week; I then enjoy a Premier Protein after. good or? I eat lunch and supper 90% made at home so well balanced! Thoughts?

THANK YOU
Welcome
thanks a lot for addressing this topic! As a plant based food person, I always thought I was short of protein. Now I need to work on eating less protein powder 🙂
You are not. Just eat a wide variety of food
@@TalkingWithDocs LET'S NOT FORGET THAT DOCTORS GET 4 WEEKS OF NUTRITION IN MEDSCHOOL AND THE RDA IS A BARE BARE BARE MINIMUM TO BARELY SURVIVE and ward off malnutrition Also, plants have protein but human bodies don't utilize it like animal protein so it's really a waste of money
@@KJB0001 I am a physician and 4 weeks of Nutrition is being kind! Medical school is just the beginning. Good physicians are always learning and keeping up with current research. As for myself, I recommend the carnivore diet or the keto diet. People on the carnivore diet can throw away most of their medications, lose weight and have a new lease on life.
@@lightworker4512 I am a mostly carnivore (mostly cod, salmon, lobster, mussels, some poultry, not much red meat - just organs) and berries, kiwi, avocado and maybe tree nuts so PaleoCarni And would NEVER trust a doc who recommends whole grain bread and legumes -that's some ANTIQUATED BS right there and denotes when to get up and walk out of an exam room
@@KJB0001 Plants have less concentration of protein compared to animal in relation to mass, and also as they explained, not all plants are complete. Just means you eat a bigger variety. If you look at the cost of meat right now, I'd say that meat is a waste of money when it comes to nutrition. It has also clearly been shown that high consumption of meat is linked to cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, diabetes, etc. Not saying be a vegetarian/vegan, but eat less meat, more plants, and you'll be in the best shape of your life.
Great video, thank you. I lift weights with a little cardio. I am 49 years old. I am trying to dial in my protein. Is there any obvious way to tell you reach maximum protein intake, without affecting liver and efficiency?
Not really without nitrogen utilization studies. Maybe target 1.5g/kg
This is a very interesting and necessary video, in that, people are often under the weird impression that if they consume an inordinate amount of protein they'll automatically become Arnold 'The Austrian Oak.' 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. The drinks that contain Taurine are NOT for everyone; for athletes this extra supplement makes sense, not for the guy who sits at a computer 8 hours per day. Good video, gents.
What kind of physicians? Are you , first time watching pretty entertaining.. good info
Thanks for clarifying, I’m been seeing some crazy recommendations. One person suggested, 1g of protein, per 1 lb of your body weight. That seems like a lot 😵💫! I’m barely making 55g, which from what you are saying is about right.
-are you saying protein shakes shouldn’t be used? That does help me make the 55g, I use pb Orgain or pea protein. Best
Thanks for this video, i learned some things. I have a question... So there Is a Line for taking to much protein that Can convert to fat or damage kidneys but what if the situation Is everyday training and the amount of food (calories) Is in the optimal range for weight mainteince despite high amount of protein? Does that lower the Risk of things u talked about ?
Yes if working out a lot and trying to bulk up the need is greater. If your caloric intake does not exceed your output it will not be converted to fat. And most of the kidney issues are in people with existing disease n
Which study attributed kidney stones to protein? Thx💯✌
Yentl.... too funny. Thank you for these very informative videos ! Dr. Peter Attia ( current bestseller- Outlive) recommends consuming 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (or about 1 gram per pound). I find this target very difficult to meet. So I'm relieved to hear that your recommendation is about half that.
We would respectfully disagree with Dr Attia
@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you ! I value your opinion.
As always, Great information. One question. How much protein (in grams) can your body retain and use at one meal?
That's variable and depends on many factors.
@@TalkingWithDocs did I miss it in the video or did you mention a common sense rule like 1g per lb of the protein?
1g of protein per pound of the body weight is for "bodybuilders". Most people needs only 0.5 gram of protein per 1 pound of the body weight.

Thanks Drs so much great day I weigh 330 and I'm on my way to lose 100 pounds in a year I just subscribed to your utube channel I see you have alot of helpful information that I can use
Best of luck with that. I’ve lost 120 over the past three years on a modified Keto diet. Basically just meat and veg., for me it works. Take care!
Keep it going. Marilyn!
Congrats!
@@cherylmcnutt9905 Congratulations to you Cheryl its got to feel so good to have the weight off so great for your health and look great in the clothes you wear I'll have to try your diet and see how it works for me Thanks so very much for the tip have a wonderful day
Go for 30 minute walks everyday.
I had Gastric Bypass RNY and I have to get 60 per day. I am getting tired of the same protein shake and salad everyday. Primer Protein is my shake any tips on a good blended shake in the morning.
Consider smaller portions of real whole foods like quinoa, tofu, nuts.
I'm MAD enough to want to go eat Protein.. And that's at 5am mind you!!! Mad because I just stumbled across this video. As I didn't get notified when it dropped. But yeah, this video was all kinds of Fun and Funny!!! Thanks Docs, for keeping the knowledge flowing!!!
Thanks guys when did eating get so involved ,do you believe in the everything in moderation view I'm 66yrs old today actually an my parents brought us up with the moderation principal dad lived to 92 ,it was Parkinson's that got him ,so I'm hopeful I've got his gene,s .I get my Knee replacement 23 this month bit nervous but get a lot of satisfaction from your channel ,OH and a good laugh that's the best medicine Thanks guys

To a certain extent hss but food is so different now. Moderation can likely work just mostly avoid sugar and processed food.
eggs = favourite protein. AND you two are always informative and make me laugh!
Well thank you Don!
Hey docs, have you heard of the orthopedic procedures called ChondroFiller and Goldic injections? What do you think of them?
We can look into them
Could you please do a segment on stemless shoulder replacement. Thanks.
We can add it to the list. You may mean resurfacing
So! I just started the carnivore diet about 3 weeks ago. Insights? Advice? I am struggling with it, but it seems to be helping my pain level and I have lost a few pounds. I don't think I could stay on this for the rest of my life, but will try to hang with it as long as I can-
We would say it's not a healthy choice. The benefits come from elimination of sugar, processed foods and refined carbs. We all need mostly plants. We would suggest stopping
@@TalkingWithDocs *And many other docs like Dr. Cywes, Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Chaffee (all MD's) would disagree passionately. Oxalates ae very real. Garbage processed foods and carbs/sugars are the real problem.*
I’m a vegetarian & would like to have protein in my diet, which I need.
I need to repair & build tissue/muscle
I’m in my early 50’s & want to use the leg & shoulder machines at the gym.
What should I have before the gym?
Protein before the gym is not necessary. Water is the most important thing as well as some carbohydrates potentially. Protein is in all plants so be sure to eat legumes and grains to your diet
I am struggling with my diabetes and do weekly injections. I have lived vegan/vegetarian for 30 years eating no meat and my dr. just changed me to an almost all protein diet with no fruit, few vegetables. It is almost like an after bariatric surgery diet. I am few carbs a day and mostly protein. This doesn't seem right to me. I don't eat meals off a plate but a small dessert bowl. When I have had the feeling of satiated I put the bowl away. I have lost 20 lbs. in 2 months. Comments? Suggestions? My dr. said the protein fuels the fat and helps burn the sugar in your system faster. I am hooked on reading labels on everything for carbs and protein. You two are on a roll today.
Hi judith. So yes protein is important. Yes limited carbs especially refined carbs and sugar is critical. Eliminate processed food. But we would say whole foods like fruits and vegetables still play an important role. Worth a chat with your doc
@@TalkingWithDocs thank you for the quick reply. I am going back because I can't live like this. It's summer in Texas and a lot of good fresh fruit and vegetables here. I don't own a can owner so never processed food. I really look up to you both and your advice. Thank you.
You're an insulin dependent type 2? And after 30 years of being vegetarian and no meat, you're wondering why your health is so bad? Please listen to your own doctor and continue losing weight by eating low carb, high fat and moderate protein. You've already lost 20 lbs so why would you contemplate stopping?
I put my rheumatoid in remission through a plant based diet. I've been on it for over a decade and my blood tests still shows normal level of protein.
We attempted to rid my child of his peanut allergy, professionally of course. He was up to 3 peanuts a day. It’s started triggering his EoE so we had to stop. It did lower his reaction. He accidentally ate a protein bar with peanut butter in it the other day. He reacted and needed his epi pen but it wasn’t right away. He took Benadryl and was mildly symptomatic for about 30 min before we injected him and took him to the ER because his O2 sats fell into the 80s.
Yeah it's pretty scary for the families. Thanks for sharing
I’ve tried going completely vegetarian but never feel that good, so I need to include some chicken or other meat here & there for energy.
Like your video & have subscribed.
Thanks for watching. If converting you need to eat a wide variety of whole foods for sure including beans, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds
I increased my protein because I’m on Weight Watchers, and am reducing slowly. I guess the belief is that if a person is losing weight , they should increase their protein intake. I think so the body burns fat instead of muscle.
Yes it doesn't quite work like that. As long as you are eating enough calories and a variety of whole foods you will likely meet your protein requirements. If you are calorie restricting may need to be more intentional
