I am so glad I listened to this podcast. This is the first time I've heard that adequate protein is necessary to keep bones strong. I am 63 and have osteopenia in my hips and lower back that has gotten slightly worse over the past year and a half. All my doctor says is take calcium and do some weight bearing exercise. Well, that wasn't making any difference. Now that I know how important protein is I'm going to try upping my intake and see what happens. I am mainly pescatarian, but I will try adding in more beef, chicken, and pork, and front-loading to breakfast (where I usually eat just two eggs). I will also try the Fair Life milk you mentioned. I am very lactose intolerant, so I'm hoping it will work OK for me. Thank you so much!
I just found you after trying to find Dr Layman. Fantastic! Everything I was looking for in one episode. Although, now that I know about you, Ill be checking out the other episodes you mentioned. Thank you for sharing what you learn and what works for you. I’m all in. I’m leaving here after subscribing and going in search of your website. Like Dr Layman I don’t do a lot of social media but I’ll also check to see if you’re on Instagram. Thank you!!
This is the first one of your podcasts I have listed to. You hit on almost all the questions I had before it started. The only thing you did not get to is the rise of insulin when eating protein. I lost 230 pounds on a ketogenic diet, but I still have a few pounds I would love to get off. I do not know how to do it because I feel best doing a 2-hour eating window. I have tried doing breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but I don't like how I feel. I dropped lunch and did breakfast, then dinner with a small snack before bed. If I eat a high protein meal the night before, let's say a 16-ounce steak, as he mentioned, my blood sugar the next morning will be higher. Yes, I know the dawn effect, but I am comparing a lower protein meal the night before to a higher protein meal measuring at the same morning time. I eat almost no plants, only avocado (175 grams a day) and up to 10 grams of onion a day. It is very confusing when you have Dr. Fung saying too fast, and then people like Dr. Layman saying don't do it. I have been in this low-carb, keto/carnivore world since 2010 and have changed my life, but man has it gotten confusing. I can understand why people just give up and keep eating the same old crap because it all seems hopeless. I will subscribe since you did such a great job on this podcast. Thank you.
Hi Randy - my apologies for the delay as I just now am seeing your comment. My question to you is - do you have diabetes? If so then I suggest you work with a diabetes educator about your specific situation with the higher blood sugars in the morning after eating 16 oz steak. If NOT then your blood sugar should still be within normal limits. If fasting (time restricted eating) seems to be working for you and you are getting all of your essential nutrients then that sounds good. I am planning on interviewing a fasting/ TRE researcher soon - so stay tuned!
Oh my goodness. I am currently loseing weight and fat while gaining muscule. I am a 68 year old male althelete. My health markers are excellent. I eat 750 grams of meat on each meal. That is 1 meal a day on a 1 hour window, total carnivour, not carbs at all. When I hear talk about 100 odd grams a day, I understand why there are so many weak sick people.
Murray, Thank you for your comment. I think you may be thinking of grams in terms of weight. For example, 28 grams is one ounce and 750 grams is 26 ounces. When we discussed 100 grams of protein on the podcast we mean 100 grams of the macronutrient protein, not meat itself. I hope this helps! Thanks for listening and leaving your question! Melissa
@@MelissaJoyDobbins Thanks for your responce. I do get the gram / once thing. The problem I think is when learned prople talk about macronutrients is gets too involved for most people. As a carnivour, all I need to know is ballpark how much meat / protien I might eat. If my body stats shift off course I adjust the fat / protien. I do not have the time for working out the macros. I now tend to put my steak, ground beef, cheeze, and bacon on the scales and call a large egg 1 oz. When this totals 13 - 16 onces, with some butter and /or lard added, thats my OMAD at the moment. It seems to work for my BMI, fat and muscule with the ammount of HIT I do. If I occasionally feel a little peckish a bit of fat fixes it. The body talks. Sometimes these things get too technical to be practical for the average person.
I appreciate your suggestions for adding protein. I decided several months ago to eliminate processed foods, and artificial sweeteners, at least as much as possible. I also can't do dairy. So, the items you mentioned I wouldn't be able to employ. I am trying to increase my protein intake as well. I found, buried in my pantry, Paleo Thin Egg white Protein powder, unflavored. I plan to try it in my coffee, or if that doesnt work well, see if I can mix into a low carb coconut yogurt that I have on occassion. This product has 25 gms protein per scoop and only 108 calories. One product line I love for added protein is Carnivore Crisps. The protein amount serving size is only 12 gms but they taste so good, its not hard to have 2 servings if needed. The only caveat, is that it can be quite costly even with coupon codes and subscription. They essentially offer grass fed animal crisps (variety of cuts of beef, elk, chicken, lamb, bison) with Redmond Salt. They are satifying and hit the protein mark without mixing anything and no artificial anything. Easy to travel with as pouches are well sealed.

New subscriber here! I was looking for Dr. Layman and found your podcast. Very good stuff.
Excellent stuff!

Thank you, Monica! I'm so glad you enjoyed the episode. My website is in the info under the video but here it is again: soundbitesrd.com/203
This was my comment exactly! Thank you for this interview and I will be checking out your other podcast
Ditto to what Monica said. I need to look for your content on avocados. Thank you!
Thanks Rebecca - I hope you found the content you were looking for. If not - here's my site and you can search avocado: soundbitesrd.com/
Great interview, really interesting and very informative.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Aren't these high protein recommendations in direct contradiction to the low animal protein diets of the longest living people in the world?
Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. (Ie fermented cheeses).
What’s wrong with tomatoes?
Doctors must study nutrition
Awesome stuff!
