HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO I NEED TO EAT? The internet and many publications are committed to tell you how many grams of protein you should eat in a day and it’s all pure guesswork based upon a very poor understanding of how the human body handles amino acids. THIS VIDEO DISCUSSES THE BIOLOGY BEHIND HOW MUCH PROTEIN YOUR BODY NEEDS AND HOW TO MEASURE THIS UP OR DOWN. WE USE BLOODWORK TO EVALUATE THIS IN YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL NOT SOME GLOBAL NUMBER. Understanding how to assess protein (and fat requirements) from your bloodwork is essential. WATCH THIS VIDEO TO BETTER CALCULATE YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS. These insights are not beliefs or conjecture. They reflect real data from an extremely busy clinical practice dealing with metabolic health transition. Know the scientific truth about how your body works. Ask and answer the right questions to optimize your health! Whether you agree or disagree with our content, if we’ve made you think and ask questions, we’ve done our job. Leave comments below.

@haroonmirza1286 Год назад

Those influencers were right _ I cannot believe I just watched Dr. Cywes spewso much BS in a video. The excess protein will NOT be converted into carbs (and allegedly ultimately into fat) in FED STATE ! Gluconeogenisis depends on glocagon which gets sercreted only under hypoglycemia! And consequently gets stopped as soon as you are out of it !!!!!!!! If you have (for example) 1000 gram "too much" protein lying around in your system and in a hypoglycemic condition the Gluconeogenisis were to start _ it would stop IMMEDIATELY when there is enough glucose to get you out of hypoglycemia ! Just because you had 1 KG "excess protein" in your system DOES NOT mean all of it will be used to make new glucose (which would then ultimately allegedly end up in your fat cells). NO THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN! If it did then eating a couple of KG of chicken breast (just as an example) would give bodybuilders/powerligter/strongmen seizures left right and centre because their body somehow mgically converted all to glucose 😵😵

Ever since I went keto 4 1/2 years ago I've had high fasting glucose. Last few days based on a video on Kelly Hogan's YT channel with Amber O'Hearn, I've lowered my protein intake per meal, upped the fat to 70 - 80% and do 3MAD instead of 2MAD. My fasting glucose dropped into the 70's. Amazing.

Amazing info. My entire life I was told I have proteins in my urine but never with enough importance to explain why or future problems it may cause. Them gout happened. Only to be diagnosed with no real help from the Dr I researched the info myself and implemented what I knew to understand. I was a high carb high fat high protein (imagine the numerous ailments) so I backed off the protein but in research I found that carbs can also be a contributing factor but nonetheless I stuck with the gout control with food mainly less protein. I've been managing through baby steps my carb addiction. Then I found keto 5 years ago and oh my what a change that made but I still struggled with gout trying to sneak back so I'd cut back on protein. Then through trial and error I've realized that the non starchy veggies are causing problems and weight trying to sneak back on. The last 30 days I've been standard carnivore much to my surprise that my gout has not once inflamed. Which surprises people bc it doesn't make sense. But I know my experience and am grateful for the carb addiction doc speaking plainly.

@Gail-gf7km Год назад

I have struggled mightily to get my diabetes under control. I thought that carnivore would be the key. It wasn’t, and I didn’t know why until your video about too much protein. After going from OMAD to 2MAD and reducing my total protein intake my sugars suddenly improved dramatically. Until my dermatologist prescribed a steroid cream for a skin issue. I knew that oral steroids were a massive problem for me, but I never thought about topical steroids having the same effect. After four days of stopping the steroid my sugars are finally on the way back down

@venusxo1 Год назад

You are spot on Doc! When I did carnivore/keto the first time, after the initial drop of water weight, my weight didn’t budge. Being insulin resistant, i was eating too much protein at about 1 lb of beef per day being a female. Now that I’m eating about 6 ozs of meat and some protein from eggs and/or cheese, my weight is dropping by 2 lbs a week and my BUN level is at 22 along with fasting glucose dropping to the low 90s. Never knew how too much meat could raise your glucose and stop all fat loss. I wasted years doing low carb and shoveling unlimited amounts of meat and getting nowhere.

The problem is that there are so few people who can do the proper analysis, as you have now done. In that regard, I am streets ahead of my own GP, but will not claim for a moment that I am close to knowing it all. The other problem is that there are many good experts on RU-vid, but many disagree, especially around protein and gluconeogenesis.

@shriandjane1114 Год назад

Thank you again! Carnivore for 17 months. Finally metabolically healthy bloodwork. Did not work out during the process of transitioning my metabolism. Prior history as high class powerlifter (not for the past 8 years tho) and at 57 want to simply do kettlebells as my primary "until I die" weight fun (vice workout mentality). Whoa! Recovery time was awful - something I had never experienced doing heavy yard work throughout process. Not pain, but extreme muscular fatigue. Decided to track macros and was sitting at 45-50% fat. Wrote my own tracker program (I'm a geek). I had tried 80% before and know it is too much for my system (at this point in time). Settled in to a 70/30 with a starting caloric and protein range based on age and weight. Clearly back into ketosis. Just looked at my last labs and I was just slightly out of the ranges you recommended (.1 over on BUN and creatinine). Can't tell you how much I appreciate knowing HOW to actually track how well my body is processing protein! I am a medical professional -- so I am all about letting the tests tell me how my body is doing and NOT simply going by "do I feel good/bad." Yes, that is important, however overcoming addiction typically feels bad even though it is good for you, and you can feel good for a heck of a long time before the body fails because what you are doing is bad --- knowing how and what and when to MEASURE is so important to me. Your willingness to educate is beyond appreciated!

@youaregodspursuit Год назад

While I appreciate your efforts and attempts to advise us on a "better way" to eat; I question the need to examine the blood so frequently. How did we survive in 907, 1247 or 1950? Our bodies will allow a check of our numbers, but it was not designed for that activity. Again, how the hell did anyone eat "properly" without blood work being done 3-4 times a year? What about the vast majority of us who cannot afford those tests? It seems to me that if I can improve my health by eating 70% better I am gaining a vastly improved, healthier and longer life. The medical tech that allows this constant measuring is great, but... what about just eating better? Perfect is the enemy of good... I am happy with an improved diet combined with some regular exercise, working on resetting my circadian rhythm, and being thinner. It is not better eating that has caused longer lives in the recent century, it is the props offered by the medical industry with the medicines that treat symptoms not causes. Invasive surgeries remove and replace damaged parts are what holds up so many. What are the actual numbers for long life for those who never have surgery to "patch" together damaged organs? The approach using so many tests and working this balancing act prostitutes the joy of having lunch or dinner with family. It is good for you to share with me the latest about what works well to feed me better, but I choose to move forward as best I can without the tests that replace my own poor ability to judge how I feel when I eat various portions of the foods that I know are healthy for me. God designed us to eat and provided a marvelous system to process that food. Why not just use it after we feed it with unprocessed or modified foods? If apples make your stomach hurt, then stop, neh? First world peoples have morphed into some form of android filled with pumps, braces, stents and the odd valve or two. And I am not a gum flapper on the internet. Your approach to health still functions within the genre of "Hey I got tools and I need to use all of them to turn your life into a mind numbing numbers exercise." I shall never eat perfectly with or without your help. I am simple and want my adjustments to better health to be bearable and not burdensome... I know that you know that I can use the color of my urine to help me understand my health. There are many ways to monitor our health without blood tests. My life is so much more than a series of numbers and letters that I have to have some one explain to me. I am satisfied at 76 that my knees stopped hurting, that I can get solid REM sleep over about 7 hours a night, and that my digestive tract works at 90.7% instead of 65.2% and I still have my "vigor." Just a few thoughts from an old man who is living on a strict and limited income and who is healthier than he was at 25 without blood tests to "prove" anything... I am living healthy and I know it! Done is better than perfect!

@thecapitan1981 Год назад

I've been saying this for some time. Everybody is obsessed with protein maxing when however we should be fat maxing. I think Bart Kay touches on this too. This is probably one reason Dr. Shawn Baker had a high a1c from eating like 4 pound of steak a day. Even a 260 lb high intensity athlete like him can't assimilate all that protein. It gets converted to glucose and since he is eating fat as well, his glucose transporters on the cell are inhibited potentially leading to hyperglycemia?

I did 30 days of carnivore + dairy + OMAD. I weigh 80 kilos and consume 150 grams of protein per day, about 40 grams of carbs, and the rest is fat, totaling up to 2200 calories per day. At the end of this period, I had some blood work done, and unfortunately, I’m not happy with the results. The first issue is that my BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) increased from 6.7 to 9.10 mmol/L (Range: 2.50 - 8.30). The second issue is that my LDL went from 3.77 to 5.60 mmol/L (Range: up to 3.00), while my HDL only slightly increased from 1.35 to 1.40 mmol/L (Range: over 1.45). Lastly, my calcium levels rose from 2.42 to 2.60 mmol/L (Range: 2.15 - 2.55). T3, T4, TSH, insulin, testosterone, A1C, ALT, AST, GGT, uric acid, creatinine and everything else are in the normal range (as before). I’m really worried about the potential for clogged arteries.

All those conflicting messages about nutrition, show us one thing. That human metabolic biochemistry is WAY TOO COMPLEX AND MULTIFACTORIAL. It's just way too complex and depends on the individual. There is no universal recipe. And even in every individual, it depends on each day and the proximity factors (sleep, exercise, your metabolic state the previous days etc). So i believe only thing we can do realistically is minimise processed foods. And lower stress. It's the only things that can bring back some sense of balance to our daily health. If you are too far gone with autoimmune issues, this approach might not suffice though.

It is fairly easy to notice if you consuming insufficient amount of protein. The signs are thinning and losing hair, weak and brittle or chipping nails and bleeding gums. Upping meat in diet resolves the issues. Side note. Actual amount of protein in steak is high but steak contains also fat and water. Ratio protein to fat is about 60:40

Just as a ridiculous example, my recent total cholesterol was 202 and the idiots instantly prescribed a statin, which I am not going to take, but it’s like that was the only number they looked at.

I love your videos Doc but I have to slightly disagree with you on this, I think most people who are eating a standard American western diet are actually under consuming protein and are most likely over consuming carbs and fats... We do have a recommended RDA for protein and I think alot of that is under weighted, this is why we have more than half the country overweight and or obese with very low or poor muscle quality and we know muscle and strength is one of if not the most important factor for overall longevity and quality of life...Protein is very satiating and is hard to over eat but modern day people are over consuming highly processed fats and carbs and junk calories... Alot of people are under muscled and older people are sarcopenic so in order to be in a anabolic state, people should always be upping their protein and lowering the carbs and bad fats, I follow a hyper Carnivore diet which means an emphasis on protein and animal based meat.

My BUN is 8 and creatinine 0.85. Both of these are within the normal ranges according to the lab report, but according to Dr Cywes, by BUN is very low and my creatinine is a little high, so I'm unsure what to think. However I'm inclined to trust Dr. Cywes more. Because they also flagged my glucose as being too low, it was 65. But our numbers on low carb are going to be different than those of people on SAD. Who knows how they come up with these reference ranges.
