Protein Powder is Killing Your Gains | What the Fitness | Biolayne 

Where's the link to your article?

Quite sad that the majority of these videos, have a miniscule % of views vs the video being debunked. Keep fighting the fight Layne. For the algorithm!

When I see the phrase "killing your gains" it causes an involuntary dry heave response. (But it's Layne so I clicked)

I am glad people like Layne exist because otherwise, believing the people who just regurgitate random information without understanding it would be a lot more easier considering I am not an expert in any way. Although I do try to do my part and read and get my information from the best sources I am able to find.

CarnivoreMD is killing your gainzz

I feel like some people demonize protein powder just because it’s “processed” because of the ingredients. 99% of it is just the protein taken out of milk, and the rest are thickeners and sweeteners and flavorings no different from what you’d find in any other store bought packaged products. No issues with cake, candy, and cookies though 🤷‍♂️

Call me weird but, after my morning workout, if I am not hungry, I don’t eat. When I get hungry, I eat. I’m a fit sixty-year-old male and weigh what I did in high school. I have maintained muscle mass and feel young and energetic. I think I’ll stick with what I’ve been doing for the last thirty years. Thanks for the video, Layne. I always enjoy your pragmatic approach to maintaining good health with a dose of science to back up your cited evidence.

The algorithm is killing your gainz

Since listening to Layne I've become a "show me the study" guy. I also learned from Peter Attia's "Studying Studies" a great deal about reading studies and how to look for weak science.

For the algorithm :)

few people are consistent enough to discover a pattern. Life is long - training is fun - calories matter - keep questing of knowledge. Love this channel

When I watch these videos, I always think about the fact that it takes about 3 seconds for someone, in this case Ben Greenfield, to make some random claim. Then I think about the crazy number of hours that it took for researchers to put together these long term studies and how long it takes Layne to put together the relative information into a well formatted argument. Just on the metric of time spent on the subject, it’s pretty clear what information we as content consumers can believe.

That "thank you Christopher hitchens" layne staying true to his work always crediting the source

dude your nuance is unmatched, I would have never guessed these details (or probably even found out from anyone else). So glad I found your channel

I learn about Lane from Huberman Lab podcast. I love how simple and straight forward he is without extra fluff. I just love it. Thank you

Thank you for coming into my life! Thank you for being my most creditable source for health and fitness. You deserve everyone as a subscriber. We need more truth in what's real. The available studies are the only proof to give us proper guidance to moving forward but also those who can explain them properly. Wish the government would take more concern and direction towards improving the diseases, etc. by providing more funding to support health. A mandatory direction to adding health and fitness as a required class or classes throughout the beginning of our lives may really help give most of us structure in living out life having less risk to a multitude of issues. Just imagine the average person's age, the money you're saving not having to rely on medicine, the mindset, the regulation of hormones, the energy, the motivation! The list goes on................ Your amazing! Keep it up!

I like drinking a shitload of alkohol, so my body has to fight a a big battle. What dose not kill you makes you stronger.

Another great video! I started watching your videos as part of a class I took this past summer and am I big fan of your research backed approach! Keep it up!!

Love your sense of humour in addition to the knowledgeable, clearly . Will you be hosting events in Europe ? Thanks for sharing your ‘findings’ in such a clear & honest way . Thanks . Lina

Wife asked me to help clean the house. Saw what the fitness was posted and told her to give me 10 minutes… gotta partake in my favorite past time. Listening to bullshit get wrecked by facts. Thanks again brother!

Thanks for this one. So unbiased and clarifying 👏👏👏

I love these videos! Such good info and some good lols too. Thanks, Layne!

I appreciate & respect your work so much!!! You are absolutely amazing! 🙏🏻 Thank you!

Loving this channel more and more! Excellent!Thanks!

I used to listen to him and stopped about 2 years ago. Dude would agree with anything.

Fantastic stuff, as always. Also loved the Hitchens shout-out.

Love you Layne. Don't ever change

I made myself a ginnypig. I fasted before my workout. For 30days lost muscles I used a dexta scan to measure. Then I fasted 3 hr after my workout and guess what lost muscles. Then went back to my normall protein shack befor and after a workout and guess what according to a dexta scan I had muscle gains again. A

The only thing people should take an extended fast from is Impact Theory.

Love your work!!!

Tom has had people who are very serious about CICO and people who say calories don't matter and he just doesn't challenge either of them

I look so forward to every Friday just to see your sweet face and hear you speak the truth and ease my constant confusion, Thanks Layne!!!

Another great video Layne 💪 👌 👍

The more you know, thats why i love this channel!

You’re awesome Layne. Thank God for you! (And you’re so f***ing funny!) Most entertaining AND informative! thank you!

Nice one layno!

Dude ! The only reason you don’t have a million subscribers is because you don’t sell any magic bullshit ! Thanks for all you do !

The nod to Hitch hit deep man. Miss that legend.

Thanks Layne!

Love this Video Layne. You're right about Tom, he started bringing dummies on his show.

Thank you! Makes sense.

Amazing information. Thank you

Awesome video as always Layne! As soon as I saw your comment on the post I was hoping you’d make a WTF o this lmao. Keep up the fight against the bs! 🙌🏻

For the glory

Yes i remember years ago in a bodybuilding magazine they talked about a study surprisingly showing cortisol having anabolic aspects.

@biolayne So, just because I prefer it… I don’t like carbs before training. Can I save my carbs for later in the evening after my workout and eat (no shake) a solid meal immediately after my workout and still gaining muscle? Or Do I need carbs before and after a workout for muscle gain purposes?

I just finished watching the latest Steven Gundry WTF video and now I'm on a What the Fitness rabbit hole

where's the guy posting about seed oils

@Biolayne "quell!" haha... also, great quote: "Now you know better, so do better."

I used to listen to all these kinds of channels and info and try all kinds of different stuff over the years. Since I found your channel, now I just wait for the RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIALS data and go with that.

Great 👍 as usual 😊

Intermitten Fasting( 16:8) Question. Is there any valid information on how a workout at the end of an fast (16h) effects hypertrophy? While you cosume enough food/protein during your eating timeframe. Caloric surpluse.

I love that they add in the music lmao

You never quantified it, or gave approximate improvements in gains when supplementing, or approximate improvements associated with certain higher levels of protein intake (dietary intake or supplement intake) vs other levels. It would be interesting to know, especially whether the gains are marginal or minor vs very significant.

Thank you

Do you think fasting/ and or a calorie deficit on days you do not lift and either a maintenance caloric or growth intake on days you life is a good idea?

I subscribed because your wearing a Vortex cap.

This is great. I have found that at 73 I can still build muscle with training to failure, proper rest and increased intake of protein.

Yes! Friday WTF?! Love it!

I've been considering adding protein powder to my routine. I'm one of those people who struggles to get enough protein through a normal diet due to a combination of being too busy to cook, being lazy about cooking, and not wanting to eat enough protein foods to get to the recommended amounts. I've been hesitating mostly because there are so many brands out there and most come in these gigantic containers that I hate to drop the money on out of fear that I won't like that particular brand once I try it. I suppose at this point I would probably drink it anyway and then try something else once it's gone...

thank you

I think a cool topic to discuss would be how much difference it makes to digestion and calories when eating hot or cold foods

ty!

Dr. Stacy Sims would agree with post workout feeds with protein (she specifies leucine content) for women. She has some solid evidence for that. I have seen good results with following her specific information for women as it does differ from that of men slightly, especially when we take into account a menopausal state. Thanks for citing some good evidence! I need these muscles to get me into my later years.

Thank you, Layne, for sorting through all this bs, so we don’t have to. So much conflicting info out there. Few people have my trust anymore when it comes to nutrition and fitness. You do. Please keep up the solid work. We all benefit from your efforts. Thank you!🙏🏻

I love you calling out people like Ben. I am surprised how the guys from Mind Pump like him

An incredibly well explained argument. Ben Greenfield especially needs reminding he is not automatically right about a lot of things just because he did a little bit of amateur biochemistry reading. We certainly don’t need another Dave Asprey.

Would you ever care to do a video on how and if alcohol consumption or marijuana smoking can or can't interfere with workout gains ?

Fasting helps me reduce total caloric intake. But I lose some muscle mass. Protein intake is important when you fast for 12 to 14hrs in a day. Without shakes your having to stuff yourself with food. No fun. I can stay lean without feeling hungry during the day and enjoy the food I do eat. I'm 65 and mountain bike, also gym rat for life. My training is intense and varied. 405lb deadlift at 160lb body weight, box jump 36" for sets. My whole goal is to be doing this when I'm 75, also still mountain biking double black diamond trails.

Al Gore gives me all the "protein shakes" I need, LOL

Would love to hear your thoughts on Andrew Huberman and what he has said/his work

Keep Punching Dr. Layne! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm a 63 yo natty who lifts 4-5 days a week. And I'm a farmer. So my NEAT is off the charts. Despite all this, if I didn't get 100 grams of my daily protein intake from shakes, I'd never get enough protein. I simply don't have the appetite.

When the content creator tries to actually defend the click bait title lol. Great video as always.

Eating before and after training is the best thing we can do to have energy and grow muscle. For the rest of the day just watch your calories

Layne just wants to steal my immortality gainz by trying to get me to leave this ice tub and eat something

For the algorithm!

Where is your T-shirt from?

You’re a beast with the science bro. Pretty sure he’s not strictly referring to muscle building OR fasting every time. If we let our bodies NATURALLY go through it’s own processes, our body becomes healthier. Processes aren’t forced with outside influence and the overall health gravitates resulting in more gains overtime. 👍

how come its easier to bulk on carnivore then it was with carbs. when i was on carbs it took me like 2 hours+ sometimes 3 to finish my dinner since my appetite did not want to eat and i had to stuff it down

For the Alg, Fam. Let’s go!

God bless Layne and his ilk ♡

Fertilizer powder will kill your gains not protein powder...congrats on your literacy!

great...thx

Citation (1;1996)”IGFs stimulate many anabolic responses in myoblasts, as they do in other cell types. IGFs have the unusual property of stimulating both proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts”. proponents of GH are NOT actually claiming GH agonism at the muscle cell level is DIRECTLY responsible for anabolism. It’s generally understood: “GH” as synonymous w/ “GH-IGFs” bc they basically are usually. Like “got a new set of wheels”=new car, tho wheels are not cars.

Crazy how social media has been such a phenomenal and such a terrible thing for health and wellness

you are right, issue is such videos confuse people lonetivity vs testerone, I love intermittent fasting but why would you go in fast when you are already in catabolic state after workout, at that point you need aminos or other calories whether it is protein shake or food, you are experienced and you relate to experience and I have been through same experience issue, Ben should just ficus on lonetivity and other bio hacks as when he makes such videos, he is just confusing everyday ppl!

Your great

Likewise Layne, stopped following impact theory a while ago

You need to be on impact theory!!!! And be in prime time debates on tv!!!

Nice vortex optic hat

Love the Christopher Hitchens shout out!

I wonder if RU-vid excludes comments that mention the algorithm from the algorithm.

Thanks Layne. I think it’s “bill-you” for what it’s worth. I also used to watch/listen to him but also gave up because of the various nut jobs he has on his show, across all sorts of topics, not just fitness. Thanks for putting the truth out there and for challenging this nonsense. Keep fighting the fight.

Thank you! So much misinformation on the interwebs! I like when studies are reviewed and not some mythical beliefs.

I bet you're gonna love the new video by Abby Sharp on calorie counting lol

nice! what about fasting bEFORE training?

Wow great beard Layne. You should grow it out and adopt the primal lifestyle to really take your gains to the next level.

Hi, Great video!! can you do a video of what you think of the channel “FLAVCITY”

Followed this guy and some others for quite some time. Now that I stopped listening to them and can think more objectively, I've spent WAY less money on stuff that mostly didn't do anything positive for me in any significant manner. I'm much better off and focus on actually important things rather than hypothetical stuff and a bunch of small stuff.
