We're familiar with exercise having a net positive in our mental health, improving symptoms of common mental health disorders like depression and anxiety as well as helping with stress. We also know that eating more PROTEIN generally will aid us in most fitness goals, especially for muscle but also for weight management. But what about eating more protein for... mental health? A rather interesting question has been posed by a new study and their findings provide quite a fascinating connection between this important macronutrient and mental health. Let's check it out!

If I had to guess, 750kcal deficit is a lot and being hungry makes you feel like crap, protein being satiating probably helped.
I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if that heightened satiety reduced the experience of fatigue in the experimental group compared to the control. I think it's likely the sleep improvements explained most of the variance in DASS-21 scores, but maybe satiety (and thus how "easy" it was to adhere to the diet) reduced daily stress/anxiety and increased sleep quality over time
Also I wonder if loosing weight and gaining muscle can make people feel better.
I've suffered from OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression my whole life. Was only recently when I started making sure I was getting 150-200grams of proteins daily that I have felt a lot happier, less anxious, better able to focus, sleep a lot better etc etc. Before my diet only had like 20-40 grams a day, which was way under for how active I am.
are you vegan/vegetarian?
20-40g is soo little. I guess you ate no meat or legumes, nuts and so on?
❤
You would be surprised how many people think that just eating enough food is enough for them because they dont know anything about calories, proteins amd vitamins
If you're eating 200 grams of protein a day I have to assume you are also taking your resistance training seriously as well now. One gram per pound of body weight is a standard body builder protocol.
Protein can cause muscle growth, which then makes you happy whenever you see yourself in the mirror, soooooo…. PROTEIN DOES BOOST MENTAL HEALTH!

GENIUS LEVEL COMMENT NOT SAYING THIS SARCASM IT IS NOT SARCASM, IT IS NOT SARCASTIC SACRASCM
Looking good, pic fit! V taper is poppin and triangular arms looking wider at the tops!
Testing two things (750kcal deficit & high protein) simultaneously is terrible research design to begin with and holding back important data makes it way worse. How the hell does this crap make it through peer review?
You are so wrong lol.
not really, in a study you need to control as many variables as possible, that was a variable they could have controlled or at least reported on. @@Proatcod10
how is it terrible? your hormones adapt and you become way healthier
This is literally what I'm doing and I'm seeing great results. I've reversed my type 2 diabetes and feel better than ever.
The state of psychological research is abysmal. See retraction watch
More protein is mostly always better than less protein
I’d argue more fiber is more beneficial than more protein. But both combined is better
Exactly! Unless you suffer from kidney or gallbladder stones issues
U can literally live without fiber. Just ask any carnivore. High fiber diets could also result in eating less quality protein. Especially if ur hypo-caloric. Eat fiber all u want but it should not be prioritized over protein.
@@geekspeak1066 womp womp
@@geekspeak1066 Well if you look at all the ex carnivore dieters, like Paul Saladino, I beg to differ. When you look at all the scientific data on fiber's effect on the gut microbiome then your comment is exetremely absurd, idiotoc and ignorant. I take it you're 'murican?😅
As an Iranian, I'm so excited and proud to see that a study from my country has made it onto your channel!
Always appreciate the science and depth behind ur vids!
What do you mean we dont know why? We need amino acids to make neurotransmitters like dopamine. They even sell tyrosine as a supplement for mood. If you add that we need protein to make white blood cells , make stuff like stomach lining and to just in general to grow new cells it makes perfect sense.
Wishing all a great year. ❤ including you awesome content creator
We Also need to consider environmental factors that would have contributed to the improved moods of those with high protein diets. Positive life events could have played a role in the lowered stress, but the study tunnel-visions on diet.
Here’s an idea that I’ve shared with very few folks for obvious reasons: If 90% of our flesh is bacteria; when I squeeze my arm, is the pain I’m causing myself that hurts my arm, or is it the bacteria 🦠 or cells in my arm alerting me that they are in danger. If I’m asleep then, why does it still hurt; exactly then, if it’s my arm sending the message, then my arm is but an extension of the whole. If I know this then I can’t give the body what it wants but what it needs; I have to Lord over myself to quiet it’s gripes about food at night, or pain when I’m working-out. If I want to go faster, I can’t tell my body to go faster; I have to convince my body that I can stop 😇
This is the whey
been doing a lot of n=1 experimenting over the last 12 years... personally, as protein and fat go up and carbs down, I have less depression symptoms (it seems) ... a few days ago I got a physical and bloodwork and started a 3 month carnivore experiment. I will gather physical and bloodwork again at the end... but so far... I haven't felt this good since the first time I experimented with the ketogenic methodology. (fyi I'm a test engineer by trade so I live to experiment)
Don't forget to inform us of your findings because this is actually quite interesting. I also tried keto diet once and I did felt some positive changes in my mood, but I reverted back to regular diet because of more affordable prices. To be honest, I don't have any psychological problems (that I'm aware of), so I don't know how effective this could be to someone with actual issues, but I'd still like to know if it actually has an impact on our psychological condition.
Great demonstrational facts!
I will also add that 60 people is not very comprehensive. Being divided into 2 groups means that of 30 if 3 people change a lot of aspects in their life, like getting more sleep, drinking more water, or simply lying, the results can easily skew in any direction.
I would still agree that more protein can be good simply because not getting enough is terrible for you and lean meats are some of the most satisfying foods you can eat. So if we can guarantee a standard amount of calories in a diet at 25-30 percent and not risk any sort of binges or general over-eating than at a lower percent, thats a good trade to me.
Get your protein!
I think it depends on what you’re going for; if you’re training for tennis, and you know you’re trying to mold your fascia, then you know there’s a mind-body connection that needs to be met with nutritional needs and neurological. In symbiosis it would only be logical to postulate that the one can’t do without the other, and in all cases they compliment each other. If the muscle has the protein to build the muscle then the neurological “engineering” pathways have the material to work with ergo “I CANNOT MAKE BRICKS WITHOUT CLAY; DATA, DATA, DATA!” - SHERLOCK HOLMES
Without the unreported data this research has diminished to be correlational at best
Feel like if they purposefully avoided giving that data means they shouldn't be taken seriously at all. Too much of this shit in the scientific community with cherry picked results.
I guess theoretically it makes sense. While muscles grow and respond to protein more "Noticeably" the rest of your body still needs protein as well. Many hormonal imbalances, namely their cell-receptors, are made out of protein. Of course, the missing data does make it a little suspicious, but at face value it would make sense. In the normal American diet, protein, even for a carnivore, is surprisingly difficult because of other things, high fat and high sugar. (I want to stress it's the HIGH amounts that makes this problematic.) It also might be that protein absorption gets interfered while the body is concerned with other consumption. Which makes sense, your body is primarily looking for glucose and fat for energy. You change that, high protein, calorie deficit, it makes sense. Again, more data is needed.
ive sort of observed this as well and really enjoy my chocolate protein bars quite a bit for my own mental health.
My guess is that if a high protein improves sleep quality, and improved sleep is corralted to improved mental health, thats enough information for me, but for the rest of community more data is needed.
Dont over eat🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♂️
… other things than PROTEIN! 😎
@@ditz3nfitness oke bei
Don't tell me what to do.
You ain't the boss of me.
Go away, To get big you must eat big 🦁🐷
@@Kaizen747Yeah,sorry but you'll mostly get fat bro.
the only nutrient which is hard to get above RDA is protein. you can't overshoot the dosage.
My protein intake in a average day is 170g, much higher than my 50g of carbohydrates.
Adressing the results of the experiment it may simply be caused by how much slower is protein digested. So the high protein group had less stress over being hungry all the time unlike the "normal" protein group.
Yeah baby
Might it have to do with higher Tryptophan levels and by that higher levels of Serotonin and Melatonin?
Protein is important but so is good carbs and good fats for brain activity. Limiting caffeine is also a big deal, because caffeine doesn't help the nervous system at all. Mindfulness books like 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels and the The Power of Now have helped me a lot.
Jorden peterson started eating only meat said his mental health became better. Hes a psychologist.
I would like a study in a healthy population, see if the effect holds up.

i mean protein or not,it is often known that food on it's own can affect mental health. the food diet that contains the necessary amount of nutrients can improve your mental health,sleep and brain function on it's own.
So Yes Protein or not,i Do Think as long as it's good for your health it's good for regulating your mood and improve your mental health
good vid
I eat only animals, salt, and drink water. (i.e. hot, cold, carbonated.) My diet is roughly 55% protein and 45% fat. It varies with different types and cuts of meats. I have noticed that psychological and mental state has definitely improved. So with my own experience I can see where this data is true enough to support.
I am curious to know if someone consumes a plant based diet increases the chances of psychological and mental difficulties. They do have weird pesticides and herbicides in them. Even if it is an "organic" source. It seems plausible to me.
What do other viewers think?
You know that the animals you consume contain higher concentrations of those “weird” pesticides, as they accumulate moving up in the food chain.
A balanced diet will always be superior in the long term. It's far easier to stick to a diet that doesn't restrict you from having variety. Yeah, sugary and unhealthy foods need to be limited to occasions or very small portions (like desert every day).
As far as fruits and veggies causing problems, I don't see that. The opposite is proven to be true in population studies (which have by far the most participants), and that is that people who consume a lot of fruits and veggies tend to outlive those who don't. They are also less prone to health issues than those who don't consume veggies.
Carnivore, Atkins, and keto are only good short term because the people doing those diets are finally not consuming unhealthy carbs, and also because they are eating less calories causing them to lose weight (and being overweight was the problem, not broccoli). It's not carbs, it's unhealthy carbs that are causing issues.
I would like to see methodology. I don't think that p is less than 0.05
Deficit of 750kcal with 12% protein is definitly too little protein. 12% is prob too little even in a small surplus.

This seems like one of those topics where if you put the right gas in your car, the car runs obviously. if you put 89 inside of a car that runs on diesel it’s not gonna run at least to my knowledge that’s a poor analogy. I’m not a mechanic I’m gonna go now. lol.
oh damn my man got his mouth moving that's hard to do congrats
1:53 i got confused there...

More protein = more satiation, thus less stress due to hunger... Maybe
Brain gut relationship😊
Does the source of protein matter? i.e., plant vs animal?
Animal protein is usually higher quality which means you won’t need to eat as much. He made a video about plant vs animal protein already
@Toydota I mean, does it matter when it comes to mental health benefits?
Unlike plant protein, animal protein has all the amino acids so the source does matter.
@@osmanhadzalic9060c9060 IIRC, only soy has the complete amino acid profile. But nothing is stopping vegetarians from consuming a variety of plants to get it. What *is* lacking from plants is vitamin B12, which needs to be supplemented through sources like nutritional yeast.
My question is with regards to mental health benefits.
@@khmak9387 I think it’s the same idea
I think I figured out why his mouth moving is so disturbing, he's using AI to animate it. It moves too fast and doesnt always line up with what he's saying like it would if a human animated it, so it looks off.
jeff nipper
GUYS GUYS GUYS!!! It’s been over an hour and nobody’s commented on the mouth!
More protein generally means less carbs and sugar; and we all know less carbs and sugar improves all aspects of health.
Stop being biased. You should also mention the studies that correlate some amino acids to decreased life expectancy
Source buddy
This makes 100% sense, more protein in your diet means more tryptophan and tyrosine in your system, direct precursors of dopamine and serotonin

i am 60kg and take 60gram of protein and I am able to build muscle we do not need 2gram of protein for every kg
I can drive my truck using no hands. It's still not as good as driving while using my hands.
If you just wanna see what you can barely get away with, have at it. Some people want the most muscle gains after they work hard in the gym. Those people take in a gram per pound.
Also, you weigh 60 kg...you obviously haven't found what works through any real experience. Trust me, I've been there. I gained a lot more muscle when jumping my intake to 1g per pound (2.2g per kilo). If you've tried higher intakes and saw no results, it's cause you weren't consistent every single day or weren't training very much (or your training and programming wasn't any good).
@@JoshBenwarei think the major difference is that one often high balls their protein intake so someone that thinks theyre taking 1.8 g per kg might actually take 1.4 so bumping it up will obv have effect but there is no substantialresearch supporting that more then 1.8g per kg is benficial if your natural
@ThaDoggo I think people undershoot. They count the meats and protein shakes but don't realize how much more protein they get from a variety of other foods.
As for research, most research is flawed and not well controlled. It's incredibly expensive to keep someone in a lab chamber and control every aspect of their diet and activity. All we can go by is people's experiences. Not only do the best enhanced bodybuilders have great results from high protein, but so do the best natural bodybuilders. Plus, endless anecdotal evidence from the average joe that has seen great results from upping their protein to 1g per pound. I saw a dramatic difference myself.
This is why I pointed out that he is saying he gets good results from half that recommended intake, but he only weighs 60kg. He's not speaking from experience. If he is speaking from years of experience, it hasn't gone so well for him if he only weighs 60 kg.
I don't like that the mouth is animated
Was it just because they got to eat more meat?
Less protein means low energy, low energy equals depression and stress

omfg its used for synthesis of secondary parts, its obvious, you need 12 brain cells to understand

Sorry but the study is basically invalid because it does not really follow the scientific method and it was pretty much not a conclusion that can be reproduced and is an invalid study overall to anyone who actually knows how to scrutinize studies. They don’t really control their control group well and have so many unaccounted variables that it’s pretty much a joke and at best is only a reason to try a study that adheres to the scientific method in the future.
Commment
Please stop animating the mouth 🙏
Just watch your trans fats and kidney health haha
Why do u talk weird
They didn’t report the adherence rate? Useful report, useless data, useless video. Sorry man, love your channel but don’t waste our time.
