  1. I follow and respect both of you. BUT I also must listen to my body. As someone with 30 lbs to lose, I have been doing my damndest to adhere to your protein recommendations, and I simply cannot do it. I am not losing weight, and I am paralyzed from over-feeding for half the day. If we are supposed to listen to our bodies, there's no way most females could have a 130 gram intake. It's 3:30 and I'm still full from breakfast (which was 57 grams of protein and all I can eat for the day). As of right now, I give up. I am going back to a protein intake my body feels comfortable with.

  2. How the FUCK can anyone take advice from such a joke like Attia. He advice a dangerous high protein diet with beef jerkey. WARNING ☠️☠️☠️

  3. @peterattia I wonder if it the same amount for men and women – and regardless of age? I eat less as I age and the large protein requirements are becoming almost impossible plus taking away the joy of eating. Surely joy at meal times contribute to happy longevitiy!

  4. Something doesn’t match, I would have to eat much more than My hunger tells mento eat to get that much protein, also my digestion and mood are affected by this, maybe we shouldn’t eat this much?, maybe it’s natural to lose some muscle with age and that’s it! Why to fight and struggle so much?, I don’t see centenarians in the blue zones doing all this longevity efforts…

  5. A while back a friend referred me to Dr Attia's channel. It has only been a few weeks since I modified my diet to accomplish the 185g of daily protein I need for my 185lb of body weight. I have been doing fairly well achieving the 1g/lb goal and I noticed something kind of strange.  

    Long prior to my starting the 1g/lb dietary regimen I had partially torn my rotator cuff in a fall I took this winter on a steep icy trail. I have been going to a physical therapist weekly to rehab my shoulder and while progress was slow, I did see monthly improvement in my range of motion and strength without pain. Since I started the 1g/lb regimen it seems my recovery pace has significantly increased. The progress I might have been making in a month I seem to be getting in a week. Clearly this is just an anecdotal experience and likely is just that I was closer to the end of my rehab than the start, but it seems like I am getting meaningful (like 10%) gains per week now in ROM and strength without pain, versus more like that amount in a month before I went to the 1g/lb intake.

  6. 1grms/lb of body weight is an absurd amount of protein, forces people to buy protein supplements and feeds the pockets of these people selling their supplements…..

  7. Two skinny people talking about taking in enough protein and building muscle 😂 I guarantee they aren’t taking in what they are preaching. It’s like the person that looks like a string bean at the office but talks about how much they eat during the day. It’s a lie and facade. Why would you want to put all that time and energy in the gym to be the same size at you were in high school? Makes no sense.

  8. A man typically eats more – especially if they work hard or are training hard. I’m starting to think that women have different demands that can’t be compared to men, yet male experts are probably speaking inclusively. I’m like Rhonda, I struggle to fit in large amounts of protein. My go to’s are eggs, crustless quiches, yogurt, cheese, chicken, salmon and a small amount of beef – throughout the week!

  9. What people fail to realize is that the anabolic state of human body can be also “beneficial“ to some types of cancer. We are ment to feast and fast. I apreciet the point of view from his perspective but i`ll stick with my 18:6 IF protocol.

  10. Menlo Henselmann says the research doesn't show benefits above about .82g per pound, except in unusual circumstances.
    (There is a recent YouTube video of him being interviewed by Mike Israel on this).

    Protein timing rules of thumb from older research are also proving not be to be correct. So I would question that 4 protein feedings a day are proven by research.

  11. I’m 58 year young OMAD carnivore, did a DEXA scan in February and I’m at the top of my age group in lean body mass and bone density. I eat about 1-2 lb of meat in addition to fat maybe some cheese and or pork rinds and I’m losing a very comfortable 4 lb a month so I’m sticking to this.

  12. 1g protein per lb of body weight is wayy too much for 90% of 50+ yo to handle. Consistently that is.

    0.5-0.8g/lb more realistic long term.

    90% of 50+ yo are NOT as physically active as these two, which is a requirement for the intake recommendation at 1g/lb.

  13. At no point in human history have people ever eaten that much protein. He even seems to suggest it should mostly be animal protein just to get enough Lucien. His advice is becoming suspect and I think I'm going off any channels with Attia on it now. can you even imagine getting 40 grams of animal protein 4 times day? Walk out your door and look at america…90% of the population needs to cut calories in half, not jam chicken down their throat 4 times a day.

  14. Go out and look around. The vast majority of people you see are obese or al least over weight.
    People do not need to be fat shamed BUT being over weight is not healthy and leads to a host of illnesses.
    When you look around you can see all the unhealthy people without taking a blood test or a fitness test
    "NORMAL" for the average American is "UNHEALTHY" The health of society is in decline.

  15. 1g per lb for me is about 180g of protein. That feels too much in my experience. Typically i aim for anything between 100g – 150g (130g being pretty optimal as i see it).
    I typically get this amount from 2 meals per day + a protein shake. I don't pay attention to any other macros really. Not at the moment while I'm trying to lose a couple more kilos in total body weight. I find this method extremely manageable.
