Hey Layne. I watched your interview with Rich Roll and toward the end you said that being in this line of work can be frustrating because there can be this sense that you're not making a difference. Well about 10 years ago I emailed you and told you that I was just dumped by my girlfriend, was like 80lbs overweight and a drunk. I told you that I was going to start to rebuild my life with everything you taught about diet and fitness and use that as a bedrock to turn my life around. Well now im jacked, got her back, have two kids, I'm sober and financially successful and stable. Obviously there was a lot more to it than that but you were the inflection point and my point of reference for a long time while I was struggling to keep grounded.
You made a difference to me man. The whole difference.
Vox, is all you needed to say! 😂
@@brianmccammon51 I don’t know what Vox means.
I love this ❤
❤❤❤
Oh wow!!!!😊😊😊
The bio of the author of the article at Vox explains it all: "Kenny Torrella is a staff writer for Vox’s Future Perfect section, with a focus on animal welfare and the future of meat. He’s also the author of Meat/Less, a Vox newsletter designed to help readers incorporate more plant-based food into their diets. Prior to joining Vox, he worked in communications and public policy at animal welfare nonprofits, and his writing on animal welfare has appeared in Fortune, Conscious Company, GreenBiz, and the Independent. "
This says it all !😊
If only reality had an ignore list like games do, I'd now be able to put a name on there.
porkshank - likewise your name explains your agenda and lack of credibility.
Thank you for your service
What does it explain?
I am so confused about what to eat anymore that I just stopped eating. I will see how that goes.
update us in regular intervals so I can test it later.
Honestly you can eat pretty much anything in moderation. The key seems to be just don't eat too many calories and try to maximize fibre and protein.
No!! Please eat i dont want to lose you as a 20 years old
“Not eating will lead to shorter lifespans and increase heart disease.” -non researched article
@@ThatGuy2428 Why would you want to maximize protein? Could you please provide any reason why the average person needs more than 1.2 g/kg of protein; or over 1.6 g/kg if your a typical weightlifter trying to gain muscle ASAP. Even Brad Schoenfeld, a leading expert on bodybuilding and protein consumption says you're not going to get any significant muscle growth by consumer over 1.6 g/kg. A person can easily build or maintain muscle with 1.2 g/kg. So your answer can not be to build muscle, because the research is clear.
The only reason is that protein is a money maker; fiber is not.
Also, I don't know what moderation is. That's more nonsense to get people to buy junk food.
it's friday so i know what time it is
It's time for the
HUMAN RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIALS!!
knooOOWWW
Tool time?
@@ronburgandy3339 Heidi 😍
You are totally right. I am a physician and is confused by all the rhetoric from carnivore to veganism. The critics constantly make mountains out of mole hills. I keep coming back to the adage that moderation is the key to life. Simply eating a diet of a variety of Whole Foods with moderate exercise is the way to go. Thank you for your due diligence and video content.
Variety of Whole Foods, moderate exercise. Thank God there’s another rational human being in this world!
If you’re a physician you shouldn’t be swayed by irrational and ideological zealots on the internet who don’t understand nutrition. Kind of concerning you just admitted that as a doctor you have been “confused by all of this.
@@thegalaxycosmos7703don’t be rude. There are “expert” physicians and scientists who can’t agree on the data. Major medical journals publish contradictory studies every year. It’s perfectly normal for the average medical professional to feel confused regarding the data.
Great video Dr Norton, i am so glad i found this channel. So much misconceptions in out there. I found myself wrapped up in food anxiety, from all these crazy misconceptions and heath zealots.
Been waiting for this all day, love a bit of what the fitness on a Friday 👌
Thank you for calling this out everywhere that it exists
Thank you so much for saying out loud the thoughts I have as well. I like your videos. i am one of those people who have thrown up my hands recently. Just seems like nothing I eat is good enough, or the right thing. Can't win for losing.
I agree 100% with the article. Too much whey protein and beans in my diet has exponentially increased the frequency and volume of my farts, rendering me a low level biohazard
The other 4/5 of greenhouse gases are coming from you probably
Yeah but are you laughing after the farts and destroying toilets? If so then you’re good.
You're the source of the other 4/5 of greenhouse gases?
Beans can give some people gas. Just throw the soaked water away & then cook it you'll probably be good.
Also add fiber in your diet with fruits, Veggies & Grains.
I fart all the time
But hey, I’m getting stronger every month
I’ve lost 15 kg fat in 2 years

I appreciate Layne SO much..
Thank for the phenomenal break down!
Bodybuilders, before the age of rampant performance enhancing drug (PED) use, ate large amounts of protein and had perfectly normal longevity rates. Lifespans for bodybuilders only started to decrease after PED usage increased in dosage. This demonstrates that as long as one has healthy kidneys, a large quantities of protein is not deleterious.
Oh my heavens. You are so Right about people just don’t know what to eat, when to eat, etc. thank you for your videos. You have it !
Brilliant as always, Layne...
I like your full rounded critical analysis. You give credit where it is due but cut the bull shit too, again thanks for continuing what you do, regardless of the haters.
I saw this article a while back and just shook my head
I laughed out loud when they said “cholesterol rich foods”
I said something much more rude
Again, Perfect video with perfect explanation
Please always stay unbiased like this doc 👍
Thanks for this video!
informative video, keep them coming!
I'm a progressive and consider myself left wing. I also despise when outlets use fear mongering and misrepresent facts to be disingenuous while pushing their argument. Like you said, they really should make an honest and ethical argument without the obvious bias.
Bias over what? I don't think anyone is taking dietary advise from Vox
@@Peopleofthesun386 - We can only hope.
you should be a christian and worry about your salvation. come back home! we love you!
Did you read the article. It's very short. Please let me know specifically how Vox was fear mongering or misrepresented facts in this specific article. All Kenny Torrella (Vox) said is people are eating too much protein and not enough fiber. That is a widely held opinion among nutritionists. Why do people need to consume 1.44 g/kg or more of protein? Do you more trust the corporations who are pushing the most expensive marconutrient and not pushing inexpensive fiber?
And if you were intelligent you wouldn't be picking sides in the false dichotomy of a fictional state paradigm
Thank goodness for Layne.
The most calm demeanor I’ve ever seen on here, even HRCT callouts were quite calm 😂
I think you meant to say the HUMAN! RANDOMIZED! CONTROL TRIALS!
Well said, keep it up love it 💯
The Layne Ross was perfect !
Let's paint a happy little HUMAN. RANDOMIZED. CONTROL. TRIAL. over here
Always putting the truth out there Layne 👍
One of the few Friday vids I actually 100% agree with.
Again, THANK YOU. You do make a difference!
I eat three pounds of ground beef every day along with several cups of white rice and some fruit. I just had blood work and my total cholesterol was 156 which is the lowest it has ever been. My HDL and LDL were perfectly normal. All this while taking nearly a gram per week of testosterone cypionate, Primobolon, and NPP. What I don't consume is alcohol, bread, seed oils, and vegetables. I'm almost 61 years old and walk three miles every day and lift three times a week. Also, PSA was 0.4.
Great work.
Nice info! Everyone should watch this video
I always wonder how all 4 of my grandparents lived into their mid 90s without influencers and media telling them what to eat. I saw them eat meat, fats, carbs, and even some sugary treats now and then. I guess they would have lived decades longer had they cut all of that stuff out.
Do you wonder how kids as early as 10 yo are developing diabetes. Do you wonder how people can smoke for 60 years and not get cancer.... it's called anomalies
Genetics
Never before has everything in moderation made more sense when it comes to whole foods
Everything in moderation? Venom in moderation? Come on.
@@robert111k you cannot read
Thanks Doc.
My favorite part of Fridays!!!
The first clue that this was a good thing for What the Fitness were the words "an article from Vox"
I laughed when I saw "Vox" too.
Excellent vid here.
You said exactly what I was thinking when I first saw this article pop up - complete hit piece.
The first paragraphs I was willing to listen, but as soon as it mentioned excessive protein consumption is wrecking the planet... Greenhouse gas emissions com etc ...
I checked out and knew where the plant-based editor ultimately was steering the article to.
One potential unintended consequence of this article could be that the target audience (vegans) who could possibly benefit from actually upping their protein, ends up lowering their protein intake. Very weird article overall. Misinformation harms.
Vox isn't appealing to less than 1% of the population. This makes no sense from a business standpoint. And we all know these are all for profit businesses.
That said, uninformed vegans could potentially be harmed by misinformation. But that goes for any individual or group.
I honestly doubt that vegans were the target audience. Even Dr Nagra ripped this article apart by showing that, no matter the source, higher protein intake increases longevity. Though, plant protein seems to increase it more, but this can have many reasons that have nothing to do with protein metabolism, like higher intake of fibers, less saturated fats etcetera.
@@tinyjungle_vegans more likely to read Vox.
So you are saying the vegans might read this and starve themselves to death? Good deal!
Sounds like Vox for sure..
I think I am going to make your "human rct" exclamation my ring tone. Always love it when you say it.
You are the Zizek of the nutrition and fitness
Why
I like this style of presentation. You always have so much great information, but the sensationalism approach gets to be too much at times. This may be your best video yet, both in content and presentation.
Associating left wingers with eating vegetarian is definitely a hot new take
Next shirt idea: Red Hot Chili Pepper style "Human Randomised Control Trials"
Tell em Daddy Layne😤💯✋🏾
As a practicing MD with a high level of interest in lifespan and healthspan, Dr Layne Norton is one of my trusted experts along with a number of others…not only does he have scientific data to back up his recommendations, but he is a practical and realistic source of information.
Yes! My bro 👍👍👍
So agree
Significantly increased my protein intake. Strange effects with exercise, muscles swelling and blood draws show much healthier heart markers.
I’m a farmer. Commercial farming of all kinds is killing the planet, but raising cattle on pasture is great food and great for the environment.
Love the Bob Ross reference....
I FINALLY beat Layne to a video.
yes
Who else is tired of the fake natty Vshred ads that pop up
what ads?
Yeah, people don't eat too much protein, but they are overly concerned they eat too little.
Nicely pointed out that people just eat too much food in general.
This guy is such a fucking legend
Is that article from the onion?
It’s Saturday so I no longer know what time it is
Word!
as someone who plans to tackle a fast food diet, i intend to prove you can eat healthy and on fast food. however as a person who doesnt upload, i cant say much to the results.
What educational resources have benefited you most in learning Sports Medicine and Exercise Science? ANy specific books, online resources, etc? TH-cam is a convenient way to learn but there sure is a lot of muck to weed through. Anyone else have amazing recommendations for learning? I did go to PT school and have a DPT but I have been out of school for a while and am eager to dive back into books and educational resources outside the norm.
I think I might live longer eating then not eating. Not eating everything that is bad for me might just kill me.
ohhhh boyyyy Wreaking the planet... SMH that line alone tells you exactly what you need to know...
I always follow every recommendation from the federal government! They know best.
LOL
Great episode this Layne.
It’s bothersome that they throw around ‘protein’. It is such a nebulous term and we need to be start being more descriptive than that.
The article you refer to, would be better off served looking at obesity or “under-muscled American” than protein.
Great video thank you! I had a blood test and it showed I was taking too much protein and that was taxingy kidneys. I only take 20 grams of whey in addition to 3 meat/egg meals per day. The doctor told me to cut my whey intake in half. I exercise daily so I am confused.
What’s your thoughts on Mikhaila Peterson’s claims on Thomas Delauer channel? Should make a video on it…
What time is it?
What happens to excess protein in the body ?
Thanks Layne
Great info! Thank you so much for helping us cut through all the hidden-agenda noise out there!
I’m a Whole Foods plant based athlete and the issue that I have with the PB docs saying we need to eat RDAs of protein for longevity and cancer prevention is that it’s just not pragmatically possible.
I need 3000 to 3400 calories a day. If I eat that from whole plant foods I double the RDA without even trying. That’s not with added powders or fake meat or even high amounts of soy or beans. It’s just too easy to get protein from Whole Foods. Everything has it and it adds up.
The problem is that Dr Gregor says it’s not restriction it’s just going to recommends levels. Those levels are pathetically low though. So it IS about calories/protein restriction.
The lighter you are the less protein you need. So even if you’re scrawny and could get by on 1700 calories a day you would still be getting the RDA for a muscular man weighing 75 kilos. And if you’re thriving in 1700 calories then you are not a muscular man weighing 75 kilos.
The math doesn’t work in reality. You would have to either eat non Whole Foods (a lot of dextrose or something) and/or you would have to me insanely sedentary to reduce caloric needs.
None of this is healthy. So I will continue to do what I’ve always done. Which is eat enough calories to fuel my healthy athletic lifestyle and assume the docs are wrong with thier crazy low protein recommendations.
Again, they aren’t saying we only need 60grams a day. They are saying going above that will give you cancer. Hard to believe.
Read the Antonio et al reference you cited and it does not show high protein diet is safe or healthy…it was an 8 week study in college aged participants measuring body composition…so this RCT has a pretty low strength of evidence when it comes to health/disease.
America is not obese because of eating lean chicken, fish, beef in excess. What obese person says “I got fat because I was eating too much grilled chicken breast.” None. It is because of the overconsumption of fat and carbs. It simply doesn’t make sense. People would be way healthier if they ate more lean protein and limited saturated fats and didn’t over eat carbs. It’s important how Layne pointed out that the overall consumption of calories has increased, meaning that protein along with fats and carbs have increased and this article is simply picking out the protein for the authors agenda.
100 %. And you can really see that the reason for demonizing protein is that people in the US get most of it from animal products and i dunno, i guess they wanna ”shock” people to be more ethical and sustainable, but that doesn’t happen with the fear mongering. This exact article could’ve been written about saturated fat or carbs as you mentioned.
Nice commentary - just to add the green-house gas argument for everything just annoys people and I think makes them more resistant to making the real changes needed.
Yeah, protein or calorie intake in the last 110yrs hasn't really gone up in the US. Has been some deviations, but pretty stable. Quite a few have been eating too much protein the whole time. It would appear eating too much of anything is not good for you. Adjusting for height differences, protein and calories would be down compared to 110yrs ago. I guess usage of protein and calories is down more, so protein intake is up, on what we need. Protein is too expensive to be eating too much to be just pissing it up against the wall.
The source link for "Protein intake up to 4.4g/kg per day was safe for over a year:" links to an article which looks to me to be refering to an 8 week study. Can anyone help clarify this for me? Is there somthing about a study for more than a year which I've missed?
Oxygen is bad too, every breath you take is 1 less you've got left
I was waiting for this! Especially lately that an Amletic question came to mind. If a person lets say was eating 1.5 grams of protein for kg body weight per day, and by doing so lost a ton of weight, does have now to start consuming less protein because of the lower body weight? But then why this person should eat less protein that are satiating and delicious and end up eating more carbs and fat to make up for it? Or should that person eat less all together because now weight less? My thought is I would definitely keep eating the same even if now protein looks like a lot compared to body weight, but I was curious about the science stand on this. Comments welcomed.
When you lose weight your body will find a new caloric balance. If you eat less altogether you'll start losing weight again, so when your body reaches a new balance or sooner if you notice the weight loss falling off, and you are not at your weight goal, adjust your caloric intake down as needed. If you don't make the adjustment you'll stop losing weight eventually, and if you're happy with that weight you need not change it.
Just keep in mind it's nearly always easier to add a bit to your consumption than it is to reduce further so if you can maintain it I'd recommend lowering your intake to maintain your weight loss rate until you've reached your weight goal. At that point you're probably still eating less than what you need to maintain that weight, so start adding a little more calories until you find your new balance at your desired weight. This might take some time as I'd recommend incremental small increases until you notice you at least stop losing weight so you may be tweaking for a bit.
If you're satisfied with your protein intake with that diet you need not change it, as long as you maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Note that "healthy and balanced" can very well be a high-protein diet, just don't sacrifice something like fiber or other necessary (micro)nutrients for the sake of protein.
Thank you for the reply! The question was a bit different and it was more about the protein adjustment after a weight loss (wich I believe there is no need for) rather then a strategy for more weight loss or mantaince. I do agree with your vision, I am a certified dietician and I have my approach to diet that works like magic with all my clients thanks god. I was just wandering from a health prospective if it's ok to keep same amount of daily protein after a substantial weight loss or if could create problems in the long run (not from a weight perspective but rather for general health)
@@Caferramarta There doesn't seem to be any evidence that it does. Of course you'll see diminishing returns on your protein intake and you could (and probably should as a dietician) consider what the protein in your diet is actually for, and if it shouldn't make some room for other important nutrients.
You could, for example, consider that there doesn't seem to be that much of a diminishing return on fiber intake so once you lose weight you could reduce the grams of protein in the diet to make room for fiber. That's just one thought, I'm sure there are other options.
Mathematically speaking, if you eat less, but eat the same amount of protein, you're eating less of other things instead. I think that ought to be your main consideration when considering reducing the protein in your diet, the guideline is per kg of bodyweight for a reason. As you probably well know, diets are complete pictures, not a single macronutrient so even if you don't "need to" you may still "want to".
Do the opposite of what the FDA recommeds. Always.

The Vox article is wrong about protein consumption, but right about the damage that mass-scale factory farming is doing to the planet.
"An article from Vox". Could have ended the video there.
For the Hungerythm!
Lane Norton chery picks his studies also, that's if he reads them!
lol no
Sad to say to anyone giving debates in the comments... Let's be serious, even if sources are sited & linked- nobody checks or compares. Knowledge & understanding meet with confusion/bias always ends with "give sources" while avoiding to prove their own sources. It's a big nothing burger. Keep up the good work Layne, idk what to think or eat anymore-might just try an air diet.
2:59 how they arrived at the protein rda.
3:30 the protein rda is not enough for vegans.
Yeah idk, i think there are some legitimate concerns about high animal protein diets with cancer and high cholesterol. I don't think layne addressed that in this clip. He just talked about the benefits of protein for lbm and muscle growth. Great, that is a well understood benefit of protein. That doesn't address the cancer and heart health concerns of eating too much protein which are legit. I know china study is often dismissed but there are a lot of links to cancer with igf1 and animal protein - layne would love to hear you address those concerns more head on
The problem is now the plant based guys are saying even vegans need to get down to RDA. Getting down to RDA is basically impossible unless you restrict calories or eat isolated sources of carbs. Neither of those seems healthy. I’m Whole Foods plant based and double the RDA without even trying.
There’s a difference between what they used to say about animal protein and what dr. Gregor is saying now, which includes plant sources too.
Where would all these social or political groups be -- especially during their fund raising drives -- without fear-mongering?
I’m 60 years old I can’t remember the last time I ate under 200 grams of protein - (unless sick or something )for the last 40 years ! Not on any medications metabolically fit !
How much protein can you eat before it gets converted to glucose from gluconeogenesis?
It’s not so much how much protein can you eat before gluconeogenesis, but rather, does the body need to engage this pathway. E.g. to stabilise blood sugar levels due to prolonged fasting.
Can somebody explain if it is gr per body weight …. Lean body weight ? Actual body weight including fat mass ?
I agree. What I don’t understand is why Christopher Gardner, respected and renowned etc, non zealot, has stated many times that the RDA is more than enough because of standard deviation etc. Anyone know?
Non-zealot? He's definitely a zealot.
That's what confuses me too.
I've heard Norton allude to this elsewhere and he mentions something similar in the front end of this video. Namely, its that the RDA nitrogen tests were done with the idea of establishing the "minimum" amount of protein, not about developing guidelines for an optimum (or "healthy" - however that would be defined) amount. Of course, the RDA is not viable if you have the goal of optimally building new muscle tissue, but that is a more narrow concern.
Anything from VOX has to be read with a skeptical eye. In this case, I couldn't roll my eyes hard enough. The bias was evident.
Eating more protein increased my urea to 50.7😮.is that normal?
It’s Vox. So the opposite of whatever they say is usually true.
I saw this article a few months ago and immediately knew it was bs.
