Amino Acids From Supps VS Whole Foods - What The Fitness Ep. 9 

I hope the industry changes too, Layne. You’re doing your part and people like me appreciate it

Well I will 100% buy your supps because of this honesty. You have always been very real and very informative with your audience. I thank you greatly for that

That dramatic music and sunset bahahaha

Excellent video Layne! I respect your candor and integrity! The world needs more of that across the board.

This guy has content I’ve not seen anywhere else and is worth listening to. Thanks Layne.

Making me laugh out load is a gift you have when real scientific serious debates are happening and is a one of the reasons why I’m addicted to your content. The Anti Bullshit theme (that is now carved into my own narrative) is such a compelling agent for engagement and retention. It’s hard sometimes to hear your opinions and truths of those that I am interested in and have admiration for (Stoppani being one) but real grateful that you shine the light on authenticity and validity no matter who’s risen up to the challenge. Thank you for continuing the lift up as we’re locked down 👊

Really respect your work and honesty mate

It's tough when people can't handle the honesty about supplementation and would rather hear a fairytale about how it works. Your honesty is highly appreciated Layne

I really appreciate the information and the integrity you withhold

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was in the middle of a podcast where the guest was promoting his essential amino acids line like it was the magic powder to make all my dreams come true, and I was thisclose to throwing my money at them. But then I thought, wait, what does Layne have to show us about this? In a world full of clickbait, thanks for always sticking with the facts, and making it easy for us non-science folks to understand!

Thank god you are putting the truth out otherwise I would be getting ripped off left and right buying into junk information or I would be paralyzed, not doing anything because I don’t know who to trust. So thank you.

Love this guys integrity!! Absolute breadth of fresh air to finally someone who I can rely on to tell the truth !! And call out “Dr”s who promote vested interests. I’m so glad I found Layne !! Thank you !!

Although my PhD(c) is oxygen uptake kinetics, I frequently look at nutrition research and I will say that your statements are 100% spot on!

The industry doesnt deserve u bro. Keep up the good work!

The editing on these keeps getting better and better haha

Aww don’t be hard on yourself mate! A good scientist always contributes to a knowledge base to further the scientific findings for the future! I commend you for this! ❤️

Thank you for the up to date info.

Greg Doucette new video sent me to this channel. First video I watched is animo, I like, I subscribed. Very informative.

LOL, that sad music near the end!

You're an honorable man Layne. May God bless you & your business.

My top 3 guys I follow: Mike Israetel, Eric Helms, and Layne Norton….keep up the good work brotha!

Always informative these episodes are..

This why I like science-based information coupled with responsible scientists. Helps a lot. Thanks.

Love your videos and knowledge

Layne is the best!

Thank you for your videos I actually feel like I am getting real knowledge and not bull!!!

That last tidbit about the how you can add leucine to lower quality protein sources and creating the same muscle protein synthetic response, what about that study that recently compared blood levels of amino acids in whey vs a plant protein that was equated for amino acids and had a pdcass score of 1? I thought that all things equated, some animal proteins still prevail? Thanks

Looking forward to buying Biolayne supplements!

I miss Carbon. Glad to hear about the new supps!

Lane is the man!!!!👌👍👏💪😎

I'm here cause dr greg told me to...great videos

Hi Layne. During this Corona crisis can you elaborate on minimum training frequency for maintenance (natural lifters)?

Wow honesty I love that we used to buy the crap out of scivation Bcaas just because you were promoting them

@biolayne, I'm curious what your opinion is of MAP (master amino acid pattern)? The dosage for 10g only has a leucine content of 1.964g and yet the studies showing the effectiveness seem to be sound but are from 1998. Do they still hold up and are EAA's the way to go? Perhaps you can do a video post on this topic?

Layne, As a frugal consumer. The biggest selling point is always going to be price, and then taste. A brand that I purchase and promote on the regular is MyProtein because they've successfully hit on all of these. I respect you and Holly with the utmost sincerity and appreciate your content. I would love nothing more for your products to taste better and be priced to compete. Please take these points into consideration when building your next line. I personally feel that Marc Lobliner has some of the best tasting whey supplements BUT as a frugal consumer, I don't regularly keep his products stocked in my home. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you 💯🙏❤️👌🏼

Hey man. Good data. But I think that most people would confuse the studies, the one you mention and the one that indicates that until you get protein, you remain catabolic after a heavy workout. That is obviously different from triggering anabolic functions after a workout via bcaa and protein. Does that make sense? This isnt about anabolic so much slowing the catabolic. The overall metabolic ratio is hopefully in the direction of gains.

did you say that Jim Stoppani doesn't publish? he might not publish anymore but he's published quite a bit!

😭 It’s okay Layne, we love you!

There was a V shredz ad on your video lol

is there an email list we can be on to be alerted to when your supplements are available?

Mark Bell's Power Project Norton vs. Stoppani LET'S GOOOOOO

Isn't there research that shows BCAAs are helpful for post menopausal women? I thought I read that somewhere from Stacy Sims (I think)....

what about cycling types of protein supplement like whey and egg or even pea? does the body respond better to each when they are cycled? any benefit to this?

O, this one had the old intro which I miss so much :D

humapro is an amino based protein......love it,, even though it has maltodextrin..... make some EAA...

I'm doing high protein OMAD protocol like: 6 whole eggs(boiled or fried) + 3 cans of sardines + veggies. I lift 5 days a week xwith dumbbells (interval protocol for up to 60 minutes per session). I also do 1 hr/day walking (approximately 7 miles per occasion). Otherwise I'm rather sedentary (IT guy) at 5'7" 130 lbs. My goal is to build some lean tissue. Shall I take L-Leucin or spend my money otherwise? Thanks in advance.

did you just say that Jim Stoppani doesn't publish? he was a research scientist at Yale and was publishing until 2013 when he started his supplement company!

Mr Stoppani is probably the biggest crook right after “Dr” Oz...

What about whey protein when mixed with oatmeal make with milk? does this blunt the leucince response?

I gain 6 lbs within two weeks of taking BCAAs. I took it my first time saw the increase. Then I took a year off and it happened again when I took it. I then took 6 years off and saw the gain again. I wonder if it has to do with me being a celiac because after all these years I still can’t figure it out.

If someone was intolerant to milk products, whey protein included would a bcaa supplement be best periworkout?

I know bcaa and eaas supplements work fast due to free form, and protein powder and protein food have all bcaas and more, but brakes down slower...But does one actually really need to spend their money on bcaa containers, is it absolutely necessary, if I already eat a lot of eggs, milk, meat and protein shakes?

❤Out of left field here but. 25g EAA from Amino9 or Myoseq vs 50g from Whey, which would you think is superior Layne?

EAAs definitely sounds like a good option for vegetarians and vegans. Sometimes you don't want to cook rice and beans, you just want beans.

Just looked at your website. Can't see any supplements.

What about bcaas vs eaas

This is an amazing video. Thanks :) 🙏. If I already have a tub of BCAA lying around, what is the most effective way to use it for recovery? (I already use whey before and after workout. But could swap for BCAA if it's marginally more optimal).

Please explain more about the benefits of the BCAAs. More content like this. Dr Greg Doucette send me here!

Question. So whats the threshold?

but BCAA's are still a good supp to use while training to decrease/mitigate muscle breakdown for if your training 1:30 and more right?

Hey Layne, a quick question. Since I have free time from being in quarantine, would you recommend me to read fat loss forever first or reverse dieting first?😁

New study on eea?

I was thinking of buying amino acids but I’m like hold up, what does Layne have to say about it 😅

what if you spike lucine with trem?

I take BCAAs intra workout because it dramatically reduces my DOMS. Are you saying I would have the same result just having protein powder (with the possibility of GI discomfort)? Also BCAAs are quite inexpensive so it doesn’t bother me to purchase them if it means I can be more effective (because I have less soreness).

can ur supplements be bought in europe??

I was drinking BCAA's for years and often wondered if there was real benefit. I quit drinking it because it had a couple dyes and sweaters in it that I didn't want to consume anymore. Guess what there is no difference in my physique. Still working out the same and eating well. Wish I had all that money back :)

So what if you combine whey and leucine? I realize whey has a good amount of leucine, but is there potential for an even greater spike when we add more?

what is the sad music called

I love Gwen Steffani

Greg and Vince should do the fusion dance to form Negasonic Megatard

Considering the amount of people that watch fitness videos on youtube and follow IG fitness people, it's really sad to see Layne have only a few subscribers by comparison.

Nailed jim to a T seems like a nice guy but like you say, will spout B.S. if it will sell his supps.

Awwwww the sad music though

is he response to this?

I like you man. You’re crazy, but I like you.

Brad is number 2.....who is number 1 then?

Why not take.. Aminos Acid

Damn? This guy is 100% honest. Unfortunately people would rather hear a fairy tale than the truth.

who is nr 1?

Fuckin round back deadlift in intro

I appreciate the video. I have been following Jim for a long time using all the supps no wonder why I havnt seen the results lol to much bullshit...wen r u going to debate Jim Wilkes on joe rogan!?

If Brad Schoenfeld is ranked number 2 who's ranked number 1? @biolayne

I do OMAD daily around noon and workout around 5pm. Will i still build muscle consuming all my protein from animal products 5 hours before workout? This schedule works best for my lifestyle.

🥰🥰

If Brad is #2, who is #1?

I’m pretty sure there is practically no difference between whole plant protein powders like pea or soy and whole whey or casein when comparing to leucine on its own.

This series is coool, miss the fuckery but I get it youtube is a little b

People are over saturated with info. Tired of all the fit app’s and zealots. Expos aren’t even exciting anymore. Stay true to yourself. change is coming.......

And we are about to see, if Layne will also have to go to the beach in a depressed state, after we found out, that fructose is actually metabolically harmful compared to glucose, even when calories are equated :-P

Can't stand Jim. Load of BS and he is all about 100% money. Can't wait for your line to be released

You should watch some of the outrageous claims Jim makes on his programs and what they will do for you 😂

People need to wake TF up about supplements. As I tell my clients, most are 1-5%, at best, of the puzzle. Whey, creatine, certain vitamins and a few others may account for more. But ultimately, they're SUPPLEMENTS, not shortcuts. Layne, you'll be well aware that it's not your fault your support company didn't last; it's the dumbness of the general population. And by dumbness, I mean a mixture of laziness, ignorance and naivety. If I opened a supplement company, I'm sure it would fail too when I say "they are aren't going to do shit if you're eating too many calories, and training like a girl scout". Because that's what I would say, because that's the fucking truth. Yet STILL, lazy morons the world over scour the internet, buying into marketing like "get ripped", "shred max 3000" and other utter bullshit. I love this series you do, because there are SO many moronic influencers out there who are robbing people blind. But if there was a defence, which there's not, but if there was lol, it would be that they're evidently smarter than their followers (which is embarrassing) and simply taking advantage of that fact. The fault ultimately falls with the consumer. The knowledge and facts are out there, in great videos like this, and in my fucking IG story, but no one can be fucked to investigate themselves. They'd rather be bullshitted. They'd rather believe in 'hype', even if they KNOW it's hype, because it's easier. And they can blame someone when it doesn't work. This is the definition of stupidity. I would say 'rant over', but it's not lol. I will continue to be as real as possible, as you have been here. Our views are valued more than those of Paige Whatever and her 'Lean Creatine', by our clients. But hopefully they will be valued more widely, when the human race evolves and average intelligence significantly increases. I won't hold my breath. That will be thousands of years lol. Keep it up mate, love your channel.

I had 6 ads pop up in this video. That’s enough to lose interest in the content.

I swear I weight every single gram of food that I ate when I was preparing for a competition. I used protein powder two times a day and ofc some protein source from food for dinner and midday. I saw NO GAINS! As soon as I switched coaches which banned me from using powders as a source of protein and used food in stead, I saw gains like crazy. I am really upset because all these influencers are advertising protein powder as if it has the same nutrients as protein from food. Probably all fake and probably doesn't have all the essential amino acids. There is anyway no consumer laws in the US that doesn't require these companies to say it has all essential amino acids.

Adding a gram of Leucine to a meal could still allow for reduced protein sources overall?
