5:55 "If you're constantly pulling amino acids from your muscles, it's like pulling from your retirement fund early." Best analogy ever, I almost fell out of my chair😅

@andrewnorris5415

Ай бұрын

I did, but not in the way you think. Associative studies are just that - people who are ill stop exercising and their body loses muscle, so of course weak people are more likely to die. See what Longo, a qualified researcher who has studied longevity all his life has to say. Exercise, as people in the bluezones did, and your body does not give up muscle. The bluezones are all around RDA protein levels, and were lower than most other places around the world, nothing like double the RDA. Most people who live longer are smaller, slim, esp. women. Not body builder types like Brad S. I have nothing against that, but question them saying it aids longevity.

What Dr. Patrick didn't include in the analogy is that 70% of what is pulled from the retirement fund is then returned to the retirement fund. Also, what's more important for building the retirement fund: 1) resistance training or 2) new amino acids. If there's no resistance training, the new amino acids will not be deposited into the retirement fund to build it. They will be spent on necessities (e.g. converted to glucose), deposited into the the "party fund" (i.e. fat), or deposited into the retirement fund to make up for losses from a bad investment (i.e. muscle catabolism). There's no shortcuts.

I really appreciate the little tidbit of information you shared about omega 3 at the end of this clip. I'm consuming a little extra omega 3 since I became a statin using heart patient. I figure 3 - 6 grams of the fish oil daily helps to make up for the reduction of cholesterol that statin causes. My logic is probably skewed somewhat. I don't really trust the statin use theory of cholesterol management, but maintaining around a 160 or so LDL level instead of a 260 or so LDL level seems like a better plan. So far (3 years), so good.

While if lower quality meat is eaten that's cooked more then you might be lacking in nutrition when comparing.

No. Aim for about 1gram of protein per pound of body weight that you want to weigh. You don’t have to hit the mark perfectly every day but the more consistent the better. To drop weight just cut down on carbs and if you are heavy you should be eating minimal carbs for a long while that way your body is forced to consume the fat stores on your body in a caloric deficit. Remember too much carbs is what turns to fat. Almost no one gets fat eating only protein (but too much fatty meat can lead to heart disease and plaque in your blood vessels).

You don't need amino acids in your diet every day. There is a thing called prolonged fasting, and autophagy, with remarkable benefits! Some small amount of muscle may be lost in the short term, but it is a trade-off

Starvation and excessive cardio come to mind. Strength training without properly replenishing your macros and calories. A diet in general that doesn't compliment your lifestyle. Your activity level will highly dictate your protein and macro requirements. Someone who trains hard 5 days a week will need more than someone who trains moderately 5 days a week. Someone who trains very hard 3 days a week might also need more than someone who trains moderate light 5 days a week. I think it's important to understand your lifestyle first before determining your protein requirements. If you are 150 pounds and lift weights with moderate intensity 2 times a week, and do moderate cardio 3 times a week, for example, you might not need 150 grams of protein per day. I would refer you to Jeff Nippard though if you seriously want to learn more. He has a lot of really good content analyzing this topic, and based on what I've seen he seems like a very reputable source.

@@CosmicValkyrie Carbs and fats are definitely essential, but without adequate protein your body will not get the essential amino acids it needs to synthesize (build) muscle, as well as a host of other things. Therefore, By taking an appropriate amount of carbs and fats you will, in fact, ensure you don't break down muscle protein for the purpose of providing energy. However, when it is time to recover you won't be providing your body with what it needs to recover. Your body won't use fat or carbs to synthesize muscle because those macro nutrients do not provide your body with amino acids. In which case, your body might (hypothetically I'm not a doctor or nutritionist) either: A: not dissolve any muscle but not build it either. Or B: dissolve some muscle over time if it needs to. All that being said, most people will probably be able to get most of the protein they need if they consume animal products. However, I think it's when taking training more seriously and really wanting to build 💪 muscle that it becomes a bit more important. As stated before, it all depends on your lifestyle. For instance, you said you don't do cardio. Okay, but let's say you lift a lot. Resistance training depletes the body of glucose and glycogen, and if you run out of that from a hard training session your body may break down muscle to produce glucose (Ketogenesis). This might not be an issue every once in a while. If you consume a lot of protein after your workout your body will probably restore itself upon recovery. However, over long term you could slowly degrade your gains, or simply not make any.

To comment on your question though. I don't really know. Your body and your genetics are unique to you, so it would be impossible for me to know. However, from a general standpoint from what I've learned you are probably more then fine. Some people say all that protein messes up the kidneys, but from what I've learned (so far) that's not all that strongly supported. There is also a point at which the extra protein consumed won't do much for you, but if there are no negative side affects to that then you are just ensuring your gains. I would just say if your shoving food down your throat and feeling bloated, nauseous, or crappy that probably isn't good and may lead to excessive stress on the digestive system. That's a different topic entirely. Also if the goal is maintenance the body might not need as much to maintain. Building muscle is much more challenging than keeping it. Once you've built a solid foundation you can pretty comfortably do significantly less just to keep it, so maybe it's the same with protein. If your body isn't building extra, it's being stimulated, and you get adequate protein, fat, carbs, and calories what reason does it have to ever break up muscle?

Goal weight when trying to cut, bodyweight when trying to bulk. You can only add 0.5-1lb muscle per week maximum, so it doesn't make sense if looking to gain muscle to base it on being heavier. Likewise, if someone is 300lbs, it doesn't make sense to take in protein based on that weight if they want to be 200lbs.

I think our bodies know what to do. Get your macros and quit micromanaging.

You calculate protein per kg of lean mass not total body weight because protein is meant to maintain lean mass, not fat mass.

While do agree protein is a must carbohydrates is just as important . Your workouts will fail drastically if on protein alone cause your muscles have no fuel ( carbs = glycogen). Your body composition will look flat on protein alone , if you incorporate protein and carbs you’ll have fuel for your workouts and protein for repair and the post workout meals should include both to replace the fuel and hydrate muscles to have a fuller body composition.

Not applicable to 'fat adapted' athletes on keto or carnivore diets. Carbohydrates are technically, completely non-essential to human survival. I am 10 months carnivore; the only macros i consume is fat and protein and have put on 6kgs lean muscle in 7 months weight training. When carbs are eliminated, the body switches over from a glucogenic metabolism to a ketogenic one. You draw your energy from fat not carbs which is more stable and far healthier from a metabolic health perspective. The liver produces all the glycogen it needs from glycerol backbones or even excess protein. I workout 5 days/week doing a PPL hitting between 16-20 sets per muscle group per week and do it in a fasted state in the morning. My workouts last up to 1.5 hours, no problems with lack of energy

Everyone is different, both biochemically and in terms of objectives (goals). No formula will “work” unless you experiment with different levels and find out what actually works FOR YOU. Then, as you age or change things, it might (probably will) change again. These guidelines help you to understand the guardrails but will always fail to identify what YOU, the N=1 you, should do. It’s very difficult to control for things in real life, but if you keep track of protein input and target a particular level and see how it works, you’re getting there. Don’t be afraid to experiment with the top end (2.2 g/kg) but know it’s not for everyone. If you find a level that’s actionable (doable day-to-day) and allows you to grow or maintain lean muscle mass, then there you go.

Simple. Her theory (like Peter Attia) is that calorie restriction and low protein input results in loss of lean muscle mass, which along with exercise (resistance) and stability, is critical to healthspan. The loss of muscle mass after, say, 40 or 50 leads to the inability to move, lift, recover, etc. and thus to quality of life. That is the theory. Studies don’t show or prove much of anything when it comes to true longevity issues, which take decades to realize and are very hard to maintain controls. My own input would be to speculate that at first, calorie restriction helps body composition by limiting fat even though muscle is also being lost. But at some point the unavoidable muscle loss as a result of constriction becomes its own movement-related problem, leading to downward spirals of other types. Regardless, being “sure” of ANYTHING (Longo or Patrick or whomever) is itself a sure sign of a problem understanding how complex all of this is in real life. Just my two cents. 😅

But more protien can't make our life longer and healthy 👉 check the fact back in old time our grandfathers didn't know about protien diet they didn't even know about a balanced meal yet they live longer and healthy life how ? It's not protien that our body need most it's actually minerals and antioxidants that human body needs most to work properly even in old age. So clean water, clean air and clean food that's what a human body needs most 💁‍♂️

Shocker scientists are the last to know

It’s amazing in the year 2024 there’s no consensus on what constitutes a healthy diet. Some will say you need lots of protein to keep sarcopenia at bay as you age. Others will say too much protein activates mTOR and IGF-1 and increases risk of cancer and reduces overall lifespan. Some will say saturated fat is the fat of choice, others will say no, unsaturated fat is the fat to eat. Some will say fat give fat a wide berth, carbohydrates should be your fuel of choice. Some say plants will kill you, others say they’re healthy and full of phytonutrients. Some say fruits are good for you, others say they spike your sugar and insulin too much. I’m sorry, but all this contradictory advice is fucking absurd at this point. It’s bordering on a parody. “Oh but the Science is evolving”. Well I’m sorry, if they can’t work out what’s best in 2024 to eat, they’ll never work it out. The end.

I find Rhonda’s evolving take on protein interesting considering her previous stance and dumping all over the high protein community. This is basically an admission that she was wrong, but I have yet to ever hear her say, “I apologize to the people I 💩 on. I was wrong.” I like that she has come around. I don’t like that she was so wrong, so condescending, and waving around her credentials while being so wrong. Humility has made her more tolerable, but her history still irks me.

Its not a lot ...100 grams of chicken breast is less than a whole chicken breast ... chicken having average 30 pc protien the rest being water etc. 330 grams of chicken breast is 100 grams of protien. So it deepends on you body weight then and also your body composition. If you're a big muscly guy who wants to keep the muscles then you need more but if youre a fat bottomed woman you dont need as much because your actual muscle mass moght be wuite small. So for a normal sized person. So if youre ten stone thats 100grams of protien ..330 grams of chicken is a small packet of two chicken breasts. Or a small packet of tenders. A kilo of chicken breast is about 8 dollars so thats 3 days worth of protien for somone ten stone ...and youre also getting it from other sources like yoghurt potatoes tofu whatever else you eat that has protein in it. I don't think that is a lot ... if you went for steak it qould be more like 20 a kilo but its also a bit higher in protien. If you're hugely overweight like 20 stone then it would cost you more but if most of that is just flab i dont think youd need as much ..and theres no point getting much more than you need. I mean it really depends on how expensive you buy your meat and just like anything if you want to have a good house ir a good car or a good meal its going to cost you money. If you want to get your protien through rice and lentils cos you sre poor then you should probably become leaner so youre not feeding a 20 stone body that you cant afford. Just like you shouldn't have a big suv if youre poor.

Then how do prisoners get so jacked?

Im strong, pretty shredded, but ive always lacked the muscle size that ive wanted for this past decade. Im 26 now, so im definitely going to atleast double my protein intake from here on out.
