This has finally solved why I gained 12kg of fat over 6 months I was consuming a cheap protien powder in my yogurt, I finally stopped doing this as a last resort to lose weight and I was shocked when my weight started dropping every week, I'm now on two whole food meals per day with intermittent fasting, I lost 15kg and in my best shape ever, very informative content
I'm glad that you mentioned mixing protein powders with other items. Most nutritionists ignore the obvious solution to some of these problems. I have no trouble digesting soy milk, whey protein isolate, creatine added to my steel cut oats cooked with hemp seeds and chia seeds, and a little maple syrup for breakfast. There is plenty of protein, which digests quite slowly, and I feel full for four to six hours. Then I eat a second meal from vegetable sources since i'm a vegetarian if I'm hungry. 😊

The truth is in the middle. I know people who are trying to lose weight and they can't do it as they are misled by athletes to exercise more and consume a lot of protein. I don't think lack of muscle is the problem of today's world, it's obesity. So ditch the touted daily protein requirements as they are nonsense - you can't even meet them even if you do time-restricted feeding as skipping one meal would mean you'll only need to consume chicken steaks after that... Do consume protein though, just don't overthink it - an ultra-low protein diet also doesn't sound right... And the doctor is forgetting that it takes more energy to turn protein to fat, compared to carbs.
upping my protine has really helped me. I was losing muscle mass. more regular execercise protine powders fasting and reducing meals to 3 times a day and improving diet no sugar no snacking has really helped me. 210 to a lean 170-175 lean and strong.

@@SF-ow5ru Most protein powder is artificial ingredients, no matter what the label says, and is another example %1000 more of your daily recommended dose of something the health industry says makes you an uberman, more of too much in today's living.
I've been wondering about this for a while. A nutritionalist told me a while back that there is limit to how much protein a body can digest in one sitting. I'm going to cut back on the protein shakes and go for whole foods. It seems like the extra shakes aren't helping me loose weight anyway.
Protein powders really arent bad just keep the dose to around 20 to 25g if your trying for maintenance. I personally do around 25g protein in the morning and 25g in the afternoon. Also as dr gundry said use it mixed with or after ither foods like fats/fiber to slow digestion.
Oldsters need to eat healthy. I'm 64 and sometimes I backslide by munching on a pretzel rod or 2 or have chips. I try to eat spinach out of a bag. I make oatmeal with quinoa and have that for b-fast or in the evening. Don't forget to drink filtered water during the day.
For those with SIBO, I think you want the fastest absorption possible, and you want the protein predigested, in the form of amino acids. You also want predigested carbs. In this way, you avoid feeding the SIBO that is generally in the lower part of the small intestine.
That makes sense that its an inflated number because if we actually needed that much protein our body would deteriorate so fast on a fast. Plus on intermittent fasting it would be very hard to get that amount of protein & people would not be able to keep muscle on it if we needed that much protein.
Consider this: The industry recommends a daily dose of 1.5g to 2g of protein per pound of body weight for those who want to build muscle. So when you weigh 162lbs (85gk, which is an average weight for grown man) and use the minumum recommendation of 1.5g per lbs, this adds up to 240g of DAILY protein intake (keep that in mind, I'll come back to this very important factor in a sec). Then they recommend you to eat at a caloric deficite (which makes sense if you want to lose fat while still gaining muscle). So you need to construct your daily diet around this and mostly it will come down to one large meal with 50g of natural protein (not powder but lean real meat), a minimum recommended amount of carbohydrates and fibers (alternatively, the sum of which you can also split to three smaller meals a day if you prefer that). But 100g of lean chicken breast only contain around 20-30g of actual protein, so you need to eat at least 150g of actual meat to hit 50g. The remaining 200g of the original recommendation of 240g per day, then need to be covered with the least amount of extra calories, and the best, cheapest and practically only way to hit these values but not overeating on excess calories is protein powder. Now getting back to the original calculation, trying to consume 200g of extra protein, requires you to take in 250g of actual powder because protein powder only consists between 70-80% of actual protein on average. The largest buckets typically come in 600g. That means you empty a bucket in only 2,5 DAYS! Meaning you burn through ELEVEN 600g buckets only one month and A HUNDRED AND THIRTYFOUR buckets a year, each costing you around $30! Meaning $340 a month and $4.030 a year. We both know, neither you nor me have the money to justify such expenses with by any means or reason. And this amount of money is exactly why you should not trust the industry recommendations! I have trained both without extra protein (only daily consuming 50g of protein from lean meat - which is totally sufficient) and with excessive recommended amounts of protein (200g daily) for months on end and I am CONVINCED, IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING! Unless you already trained for the last 4 years, built substantial amounts of muscle naturally and ultimately hit a natural platoe at which your body just can't build any more muscle. This is the point where anybody SHOULD just continue maintainence training to keep the acquired muscle mass and stay active and leave it at that. Unless you want to become an "artificially enhanced" 350lbs muscle monster. Only then, extra protein will actually help you gain abnormal amounts of muscle beyond a natural physique. But you don't need that! It is not healthy!
@Project_2501 Sorry not 1.5 to 2 gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight : You mean 1.2 to 2 grams protein per (KG) of lean bodyweight. So math is for 162lb person ÷ 2.2kilo = 74kg bodyweight × 2.2 grams protein = approx 162 grams of protein 💪. 4 calories per gram of protein of 162grams = 648 protein calories per day.
@@keithdesantis1976 You are correct! But even with the adjusted values, it is way to much money you waste, if you follow this recommendation and burn through your protein stock and walet like a wildfire.
@@Project_2501Thanks for this. I’ve been off gym for almost a year now and looking to get back at it. Was about to buy a protein shake but was hesitant and wanted to do more research if it’s really necessary.
I mix my protein powder with whole foods in banking, Greek yogurt, oats etc. problem solved. Also, sometimes you want the immediate benefit of absorption like after a hard workout or training session.
If you eat 8/16 and use up your glucose and glycogen stores by morning, your liver will make glucose from protein...... It is a good idea to keep your protein stores (and yes your cells store protein) so that you are not breaking down muscle tissue to get that protein. I don't know how much protein intake that takes, because I don't know exactly when a fasting person runs out of glycogen. But, I would rather to have excess protein than catabolizing my muscles.
From an evolution standpoint why would the body catabolize muscles and not stored fat? It's like throwing your chair in the stove instead of the wood you've prepared for that.
This is confusing given everything that other leading experts opinion based on real research conducted by many experts vs the one you mention at Stanford.
Did you say leading expert? Lol who? Dr mike? He's a medical guideline dog that can't see with the hidden minds eye. Real research the one that keeps changing based on circumstances?
Hi Dr. Gundry. I’ve been settling into your program for about 2 months and I feel better and better. Just read Gut Check as well. I have a question. I started going to the gym around 6am and break my fast at noon. I’ve tried BCAA and protein powder but both seem to interfere with the level of wellbeing. What would you suggest as a fuel source?
First of all your BCAA breaks a fast lol train without food only electrolytes eventually you get into ketosis what I used to do was take supplements and caffeine and creatine powder b4 workout to train then 10 hours later is eat large healthy meal. We call training with BCAA calorie deficit fasting.
If I pay an exorbitant price for Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil or Lectin Shield or Urolithin A, will that make the ultra-low protein diet healthful for me?!
6:10 -- Lots of scientists and nutritionists all say you need more AA to build muscles IF you are working out. Yes if U are a couch potato, whatever you eat s probably ok but not if you are actively trying to get stronger.
Yeah but point me one single non-active person who is overweight because he/she is eating a lot of LEAN sources of protein that was then stored as fat!!!! Point me one
With food, protein, nutrition in general, is very simple, it's pure math, it's logic. If you work very, very hard, physical work, in very hard conditions, you will need a lot of proteins, a lot of food in general, good food, also if you do profesional sport, if you do high intense physical effort, you will need high amount of proteins, vitamins, food in general, and water of course. Otherwise you lose weight, you get sick, and eventually you die. But if you stay on a chair all day, and you move only when you go to toilet, then you DON"T NEED a high amount of proteins and water.
Obviously, if you consume more of something than you actually need that can cause inefficiencies in your body systems because the body still has to process the excess.
@Alucard_FahrenheitTepes That's funny but as you hopefully know it is a real term. Whey powder is a byproduct of making cheese. Cheese being made from grass fed cows and all...
Without the knowledge in diet and nutrition as you doc but only with my curiosity and my tiny bit of knowledge of Nature, which is, again, also very little 😊(Im SORRY for those you get triggered by that) I couldnt moderate the excitement your video gave me and my pairs. Therefore, I appreciate it very very much! Also, if theres a chance of you reading these comment, that would be enough for me to try and ask you something. Feel free to ignore it. The topic of reflection was about biology, human relationship and also anthropology in a way but mostly and specially about Mother Nature or planet Earth and our rather particular relationship with her. Im sorry again for those who get triggered. Anyways, IF we, for a momment, consider her and percieve her as a highly inteligent living thing, with high intuition, perception, adaptability, and all of the qualities human beigns have, even humour (not worthy of the trash at all like some of the newer ingentions in regards of proteín) Why would you thing she didnt made us capable of storaging proteín if there was proteín already on her "belly", in form of greens, seeds and more so, by the time we happen to develop as humans? In addition, if we consider diet as a cultural and social behaviour with a HUGE correlation to both the environment we are part of, that, including the polítical and económical influences it has on, and how diversity it can be, why in your opinion is it that we lost it meaning? Lastly, what do I eat now?! Please Answer with humour if u want. Saludos doctor!
Not hard to believe, i think. Kids "double" their weight, height and muscle mass in only a few years, not thinking about anything and eating only moms food🤔 Even if mom serves mostly crap, kids grow up... that was always a mystery for me.?? And if you think of the ancient vikings... they are really strong and eated what nature had to offer.
I use Whey Gourmet made with Stevia and very good ingredients ... but will just use it now after lifting weights... thought it was a good satiating snack or lunch....
dont believe chat GPT ROFLMFAO that stupid programmed robot was giving me ALL wrong answers when i was asking about hair color too bahahhaha chat is NOT A DR. and just gets its info from a massive pool of internet text, including books and websites
There seems to be a problem here. Presuming you have a 2000 calorie diet, and you consume say 30 grams of protein a day, that is only 120 calories from protein. We already know Dr. Gundry is not a fan of high carb. Say you eat 100 grams of carbs a day. That is another 400 calories. So 2000 - 520 = 1480. Which could then only come from fat. Am I missing something here?
OK, so did I understand that right... there's not benefit to using protein powder because it gets absorbed too fast and will turn into sugar or fat?! So, I shouldn't add it to my healthy smoothies?! I was just about to look into buying a collagen protein powder, 🤔 And if I'm not getting much protein it's ok? I usually have eggs for breakfast, lean meat/chicken for lunch and dinner surrounded by veggies or if I'm not too hungry I make a smoothie as a meal replacement/snack. Yes I'm trying to lose weight and be healthier, as so many of us are.
☝️We have also to consider that all the the fruits and vegetables 🥦 all greens and grains have amino acids !!!! May we don’t need extra source out of the regular … if we follow the marketing pro protein we will end up w kidney issues
I find 0.7 grams per lb or 1.6 per kg is perfect for people that are strength training. Any more than that then you basically aging yourself faster. I know because I did that.
I still don't understand what is the ideal food pyramid. Too much proteins is not needed, ok. Too much polysacharides = converts to fat, also bad. Fat = fat, bad. What to eat? What's the logic behind Gundry's diet, where a lot of fats is the base of the pyramid?
Let me get this straight…People consuming ultra processed foods were 50% more likely to die from cardio vascular disease….and the and the culprit is excess protein?? That doesn’t make any sense. How about the quality of the food? The added sugars and omega6 oils? Seems like a lot of confounding variables here. I’m not with you on this one doc
I am an amatuer bodybuilder, and the protein propaganda is insane in fitness culture. In my experience, I've been able to build muscle on 60-70 grams of protein a day. Seriously. If I were doing 1g per pound of bodyweight, I would be FAT!
So Someone who is working out 3 times a week how Much protein does he need? Only 60 grams of protein????.. I guess it depends from the kilos and how much musles Someone has....You mean a person who is not working out...13% present of peotein goes to the muscles So 60 grams is too low then
Sorry about this but every organ in your body needs AA, not just your muscles. His words here are very misleading and can be taken out of context easily ...
Your voice has changed, and your skin is turning yellow. I like the Doc, but I'm interested in what he thinks about this. I'm not the only one seeing this!
Amazing misinformation!Obviously Dr.Guntry ignores basic physiology.Proteins are not absorbed as such,but as the constituents aminoacids,which in the tissues (mainly the liver) recombine to form theproteins of the organism.The amounts he refers to,are the minimum amount to avoid severe starvation.Dr.Nikolas Papadakis,professor of neurosurgery.
I like this dude but I can't stop taking protein. I believe if you train hard you need the extra protein. Seems like his message is more for the normies or people who workout wothout a purpose

Maltodextrin. Watch Dr Berg. Poison.
Why?
Your protein powder has “natural flavors” what’s that about?
I've been wondering about this for a while. A nutritionalist told me a while back that there is limit to how much protein a body can digest in one sitting. I'm going to cut back on the protein shakes and go for whole foods. It seems like the extra shakes aren't helping me loose weight anyway.
Glad I found this right before my first purchase. I'd stick to only whole sources. Thank you!
I need order shakes please
Protein powders really arent bad just keep the dose to around 20 to 25g if your trying for maintenance. I personally do around 25g protein in the morning and 25g in the afternoon. Also as dr gundry said use it mixed with or after ither foods like fats/fiber to slow digestion.
How about the currant group think that older people could benefit the most from increased protein.
Oldsters need to eat healthy. I'm 64 and sometimes I backslide by munching on a pretzel rod or 2 or have chips. I try to eat spinach out of a bag. I make oatmeal with quinoa and have that for b-fast or in the evening. Don't forget to drink filtered water during the day.
Can u link the studies?
thank you for clearing it up !!
Thanks ... I needed this update !!
very informative thank you
For those with SIBO, I think you want the fastest absorption possible, and you want the protein predigested, in the form of amino acids. You also want predigested carbs. In this way, you avoid feeding the SIBO that is generally in the lower part of the small intestine.
Do you know what protein powder is best absorbed?
@@ltaylor2238 I've had good results with Black Label 21 from Jo Mar Labs. It's expensive but I decided it was worth it.
We need a video on creatine.
That makes sense that its an inflated number because if we actually needed that much protein our body would deteriorate so fast on a fast.
Plus on intermittent fasting it would be very hard to get that amount of protein & people would not be able to keep muscle on it if we needed that much protein.
Consider this: The industry recommends a daily dose of 1.5g to 2g of protein per pound of body weight for those who want to build muscle. So when you weigh 162lbs (85gk, which is an average weight for grown man) and use the minumum recommendation of 1.5g per lbs, this adds up to 240g of DAILY protein intake (keep that in mind, I'll come back to this very important factor in a sec). Then they recommend you to eat at a caloric deficite (which makes sense if you want to lose fat while still gaining muscle). So you need to construct your daily diet around this and mostly it will come down to one large meal with 50g of natural protein (not powder but lean real meat), a minimum recommended amount of carbohydrates and fibers (alternatively, the sum of which you can also split to three smaller meals a day if you prefer that). But 100g of lean chicken breast only contain around 20-30g of actual protein, so you need to eat at least 150g of actual meat to hit 50g. The remaining 200g of the original recommendation of 240g per day, then need to be covered with the least amount of extra calories, and the best, cheapest and practically only way to hit these values but not overeating on excess calories is protein powder. Now getting back to the original calculation, trying to consume 200g of extra protein, requires you to take in 250g of actual powder because protein powder only consists between 70-80% of actual protein on average. The largest buckets typically come in 600g. That means you empty a bucket in only 2,5 DAYS! Meaning you burn through ELEVEN 600g buckets only one month and A HUNDRED AND THIRTYFOUR buckets a year, each costing you around $30! Meaning $340 a month and $4.030 a year. We both know, neither you nor me have the money to justify such expenses with by any means or reason. And this amount of money is exactly why you should not trust the industry recommendations!
I have trained both without extra protein (only daily consuming 50g of protein from lean meat - which is totally sufficient) and with excessive recommended amounts of protein (200g daily) for months on end and I am CONVINCED, IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING! Unless you already trained for the last 4 years, built substantial amounts of muscle naturally and ultimately hit a natural platoe at which your body just can't build any more muscle. This is the point where anybody SHOULD just continue maintainence training to keep the acquired muscle mass and stay active and leave it at that. Unless you want to become an "artificially enhanced" 350lbs muscle monster. Only then, extra protein will actually help you gain abnormal amounts of muscle beyond a natural physique. But you don't need that! It is not healthy!
@Project_2501 Sorry not 1.5 to 2 gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight : You mean 1.2 to 2 grams protein per (KG) of lean bodyweight. So math is for 162lb person ÷ 2.2kilo = 74kg bodyweight × 2.2 grams protein = approx 162 grams of protein 💪.
4 calories per gram of protein of 162grams = 648 protein calories per day.
@@keithdesantis1976 You are correct! But even with the adjusted values, it is way to much money you waste, if you follow this recommendation and burn through your protein stock and walet like a wildfire.
@@Project_2501Thanks for this. I’ve been off gym for almost a year now and looking to get back at it. Was about to buy a protein shake but was hesitant and wanted to do more research if it’s really necessary.
I mix my protein powder with whole foods in banking, Greek yogurt, oats etc. problem solved.
Also, sometimes you want the immediate benefit of absorption like after a hard workout or training session.
If you eat 8/16 and use up your glucose and glycogen stores by morning, your liver will make glucose from protein...... It is a good idea to keep your protein stores (and yes your cells store protein) so that you are not breaking down muscle tissue to get that protein. I don't know how much protein intake that takes, because I don't know exactly when a fasting person runs out of glycogen. But, I would rather to have excess protein than catabolizing my muscles.
From an evolution standpoint why would the body catabolize muscles and not stored fat? It's like throwing your chair in the stove instead of the wood you've prepared for that.
This is confusing given everything that other leading experts opinion based on real research conducted by many experts vs the one you mention at Stanford.
Did you say leading expert? Lol who? Dr mike? He's a medical guideline dog that can't see with the hidden minds eye.
Real research the one that keeps changing based on circumstances?
Gee give us the short version!
Hi Dr. Gundry. I’ve been settling into your program for about 2 months and I feel better and better. Just read Gut Check as well. I have a question. I started going to the gym around 6am and break my fast at noon. I’ve tried BCAA and protein powder but both seem to interfere with the level of wellbeing. What would you suggest as a fuel source?
First of all your BCAA breaks a fast lol train without food only electrolytes eventually you get into ketosis what I used to do was take supplements and caffeine and creatine powder b4 workout to train then 10 hours later is eat large healthy meal.
We call training with BCAA calorie deficit fasting.
@@Alucard_FahrenheitTepes yeah, i dont do that no more
If I pay an exorbitant price for Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil or Lectin Shield or Urolithin A, will that make the ultra-low protein diet healthful for me?!

Excellent info
Interesting point I hadn’t understood until now, pea isolate has lectins removed?!
Thank you for covering the protein powder issue but you never covered whether chocho nut in powder is ok as far as lectins are concerned.
How bout the oxilates in plants?
6:10 -- Lots of scientists and nutritionists all say you need more AA to build muscles IF you are working out. Yes if U are a couch potato, whatever you eat s probably ok but not if you are actively trying to get stronger.
Also if you're old enough to be fighting sarcopenia...essentially the same requirements as bodybuilding.
Yeah but point me one single non-active person who is overweight because he/she is eating a lot of LEAN sources of protein that was then stored as fat!!!! Point me one
Good luck lean protein reduces life span of humans just ask Atkins...oh wait.... my Dad eats lean proteins is fat btw but he's old and has cancer.
Look up Rabbit Starvation

Most
Of us are layman so we count on you experts for guidance
With food, protein, nutrition in general, is very simple, it's pure math, it's logic. If you work very, very hard, physical work, in very hard conditions, you will need a lot of proteins, a lot of food in general, good food, also if you do profesional sport, if you do high intense physical effort, you will need high amount of proteins, vitamins, food in general, and water of course. Otherwise you lose weight, you get sick, and eventually you die. But if you stay on a chair all day, and you move only when you go to toilet, then you DON"T NEED a high amount of proteins and water.
Thank you Dr. Gundry❤
I love your speaking .from afghanistan 🇦🇫
Obviously, if you consume more of something than you actually need that can cause inefficiencies in your body systems because the body still has to process the excess.
I just threw away my protein powder the other day. Real protein for me from now on- red meat and eggs!
And you save excess money by not buying expensive protein powder.
grassfed whey is okay
@@NOSTALGIA.64 I didn't know whey could eat grass 😂😅
@Alucard_FahrenheitTepes That's funny but as you hopefully know it is a real term. Whey powder is a byproduct of making cheese. Cheese being made from grass fed cows and all...
👏🏼
Without the knowledge in diet and nutrition as you doc but only with my curiosity and my tiny bit of knowledge of Nature, which is, again, also very little 😊(Im SORRY for those you get triggered by that) I couldnt moderate the excitement your video gave me and my pairs. Therefore, I appreciate it very very much! Also, if theres a chance of you reading these comment, that would be enough for me to try and ask you something. Feel free to ignore it. The topic of reflection was about biology, human relationship and also anthropology in a way but mostly and specially about Mother Nature or planet Earth and our rather particular relationship with her. Im sorry again for those who get triggered. Anyways, IF we, for a momment, consider her and percieve her as a highly inteligent living thing, with high intuition, perception, adaptability, and all of the qualities human beigns have, even humour (not worthy of the trash at all like some of the newer ingentions in regards of proteín) Why would you thing she didnt made us capable of storaging proteín if there was proteín already on her "belly", in form of greens, seeds and more so, by the time we happen to develop as humans? In addition, if we consider diet as a cultural and social behaviour with a HUGE correlation to both the environment we are part of, that, including the polítical and económical influences it has on, and how diversity it can be, why in your opinion is it that we lost it meaning? Lastly, what do I eat now?! Please Answer with humour if u want. Saludos doctor!
Not hard to believe, i think.
Kids "double" their weight, height and muscle mass in only a few years, not thinking about anything and eating only moms food🤔
Even if mom serves mostly crap, kids grow up... that was always a mystery for me.??
And if you think of the ancient vikings... they are really strong and eated what nature had to offer.
This doc is right and if udisagree on some of the things that’s ok but believe u me
I use Whey Gourmet made with Stevia and very good ingredients ... but will just use it now after lifting weights... thought it was a good satiating snack or lunch....
I listen to my body and my body rejects protein drinks and most protein powders..
For some reason it causes my daughter to have UTIs.
@thebrickhouse8926 something isn't right with these protein drinks
I recently experience pain when I take any protein powder or drink
Dr, Gundry,
ChatGPT says that whey protein isolate does NOT contain Neu5g.
Is ChatGPT lying to us?
prompt: Does whey protein isolate have neu5g?
dont believe chat GPT ROFLMFAO that stupid programmed robot was giving me ALL wrong answers when i was asking about hair color too bahahhaha chat is NOT A DR. and just gets its info from a massive pool of internet text, including books and websites
Protien powders also raises DHT in males
Thanks for making my choice, no protein powder for me 😂
Why does Dr. Gundry sound like Kermit The Frog🤔
LOL
He’s been a little protein deficient 😬
😂😂😂
There seems to be a problem here. Presuming you have a 2000 calorie diet, and you consume say 30 grams of protein a day, that is only 120 calories from protein. We already know Dr. Gundry is not a fan of high carb. Say you eat 100 grams of carbs a day. That is another 400 calories. So 2000 - 520 = 1480. Which could then only come from fat. Am I missing something here?
so much for my awesome morning superfood protein smoothie
OK, so did I understand that right... there's not benefit to using protein powder because it gets absorbed too fast and will turn into sugar or fat?! So, I shouldn't add it to my healthy smoothies?! I was just about to look into buying a collagen protein powder, 🤔 And if I'm not getting much protein it's ok? I usually have eggs for breakfast, lean meat/chicken for lunch and dinner surrounded by veggies or if I'm not too hungry I make a smoothie as a meal replacement/snack. Yes I'm trying to lose weight and be healthier, as so many of us are.
You could look into casein protein powder, which is absorbed much slower.
Don't listen to him regarding this topic. He is delusional.
What happened to your voice Doc ? TRT ?
☝️We have also to consider that all the the fruits and vegetables 🥦 all greens and grains have amino acids !!!!
May we don’t need extra source out of the regular … if we follow the marketing pro protein we will end up w kidney issues
I'm a ex elite athlete. I'm 56 years old now. I fully agree with the Doc!
I find 0.7 grams per lb or 1.6 per kg is perfect for people that are strength training. Any more than that then you basically aging yourself faster. I know because I did that.
Wow I tend to agree with you on the predigested proteins. Amazing
Thank you Dr.Gundry for the great information 💐🇨🇦
Put Gundry vs. Kruse!!!
I never heard of protein being converted to sugar! I've heard of carbs getting converted to sugar, never protein, i'm shocked! And Dissapointed!
Gluconeogenesis
I still don't understand what is the ideal food pyramid. Too much proteins is not needed, ok. Too much polysacharides = converts to fat, also bad. Fat = fat, bad. What to eat? What's the logic behind Gundry's diet, where a lot of fats is the base of the pyramid?
well grassfed protein is a different story then to regular whey
Let me get this straight…People consuming ultra processed foods were 50% more likely to die from cardio vascular disease….and the and the culprit is excess protein?? That doesn’t make any sense. How about the quality of the food? The added sugars and omega6 oils? Seems like a lot of confounding variables here. I’m not with you on this one doc
Yes it has exploded in price as well so expensive for something that used to throw away a long time ago real men eat steak
🤔
Oh for god sake, I just bought protein powder.
Orgain is wonderful (Costco) and has EVERYTHING our bodies need. Don't believe one person's narrative. "Physician heal yourself" 🫠💫
Looks like Dr. Gundry here needs some protein powder himself 😅. Hard to finish listening to him at the speed he speaks.
What’s up with your voice Dr Gundry? Do you have a cold ? It sounds strange lol- hope it’s not hacked video? 😊😅
I am an amatuer bodybuilder, and the protein propaganda is insane in fitness culture. In my experience, I've been able to build muscle on 60-70 grams of protein a day. Seriously. If I were doing 1g per pound of bodyweight, I would be FAT!
Yeah, right. I take in 170 gms of protein per day and AM NOT FAT!

another W by Dr gundry
excellent
So Someone who is working out 3 times a week how Much protein does he need? Only 60 grams of protein????..
I guess it depends from the kilos and how much musles Someone has....You mean a person who is not working out...13% present of peotein goes to the muscles So 60 grams is too low then
Powders suck, just eat real food but my powder is awesome so you should buy it. What a freaking hack
Sorry about this but every organ in your body needs AA, not just your muscles. His words here are very misleading and can be taken out of context easily ...
So, why sarcopenia is still a thing. Rhetorical question.
Your voice has changed, and your skin is turning yellow. I like the Doc, but I'm interested in what he thinks about this. I'm not the only one seeing this!
Amazing misinformation!Obviously Dr.Guntry ignores basic physiology.Proteins are not absorbed as such,but as the constituents aminoacids,which in the tissues (mainly the liver) recombine to form theproteins of the organism.The amounts he refers to,are the minimum amount to avoid severe starvation.Dr.Nikolas Papadakis,professor of neurosurgery.
I’m trying to get jacked doctor
Tell that to every athlete in the world and they will laugh at you, what a load of trash.
So why carnivore diet makes people thin not fat just wonder😅
The animal fats.
I like this dude but I can't stop taking protein. I believe if you train hard you need the extra protein. Seems like his message is more for the normies or people who workout wothout a purpose
