How Much Protein do Women REALLY Need? Thomas DeLauer
Skin, Hair & Nails
When protein is eaten, your digestive processes break it down into amino acids, which pass into the blood and are carried throughout the body.
Your cells can then select the amino acids they need for the construction of new body tissue, antibodies, hormones, enzymes, and blood cells.
There are 22 different amino acids, each of which has its own characteristics
In various combinations, all of these amino acids are capable of forming an almost limitless variety of proteins, each serving its own purpose.
Nails are made of protein, not calcium as some think. A protein deficiency can be marked by split, extremely thin nails. Nails that fail to grow quickly lack protein.
L-cysteine and L-methionine are the sulfur amino acids that form "keratin," which is the protein structure of hair
L-lysine, mainly present in the inner part of the hair root is responsible for hair shape and volume.
Protein also contains two amino acids, namely L-glycine and L-proline, that support the body’s production of collagen

Joints & Bones
Especially important for women, who are at high risk of osteoporosis after menopause
It’s estimated that 80 percent of the 10 million Americans with osteoporosis are women. Women tend to have smaller, lighter bones than men.
cdn.nof.org/wp...
This makes women more susceptible to osteoporosis as there is less mass, and menopause has a greater effect on their bones.
Plus, after menopause the body produces less estrogen and progesterone - two common female hormones that help keep bones strong
www.ncbi.nlm.n...
---
Amino acids contribute to the development of protein within the body and are vital in promoting wound repair and encouraging healthy tissue in muscles, bones
Aminos work along synergistic pathways to decrease inflammation and promote the body's natural synthesis and maintenance of joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons, it protects, prevents and helps in the repair of musculoskeletal injuries and inflammation, regardless of the cause
Review - Osteoporosis International
The review, published in Osteoporosis International, found that a protein-rich diet, provided there is adequate calcium intake, is in fact beneficial for adult bone health
It also found no evidence that acid load due to higher dietary protein intakes, whether of animal or vegetable origin, is damaging to bone health
The key findings of the extensive literature review include:
Hip fracture risk is modestly decreased with higher dietary protein intakes, provided calcium intakes are adequate
Bone mineral density (BMD), which is an important determinant of bone strength, appears to be positively associated with dietary protein intakes
Protein and calcium combined in dairy products have beneficial effects on calciotropic hormones, bone turnover markers and BMD.
The benefit of dietary proteins on bone outcomes seems to require adequate calcium intakes
There appears to be no direct evidence of osteoporosis progression, fragility fractures or altered bone strength with the acid load originating from a balanced diet.

Quality of Meat
Today, there are six anabolic steroids given, in various combinations, to nearly all animals entering conventional beef feedlots in the U.S:
Three natural steroids (estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone), and
Three synthetic hormones (the estrogen compound zeranol, the androgen trenbolone acetate, and progestin melengestrol acetate).
Zeranol
In vitro, zeranol stimulates growth and replication of human breast tumor cells - acts as a mycoestrogen (endocrine disruptor)
Omega 3’s
Many women endure abdominal discomfort and cramps every month, a condition known in medical terms as dysmenorrhea
They discovered that omega-3 fatty acids inhibit an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which produces the prostaglandin hormones that spark inflammation
During your menstrual period, your uterus contracts to help expel its lining. Hormonelike substances (prostaglandins) involved in pain and inflammation trigger the uterine muscle contractions
Menstrual cramps are caused by strong contractions of the uterus triggered by prostaglandins

More women specific videos please! :) This is great!
Yes please I was just hoping for a video about it after seeing tons that are men-specific
Yes please!!!!
I asked for women related info over a year ago.
Thankfully now its happened!
I stopped watching till now too!
Check out Dr. Mindy Pelz as well....
Although it would come off better if his wife did the video.
I never knew that. I never knew that women are more efficient at utilizing protein. You learn something new everyday.
I don't expect to see you here
I just saw u at a fastest rapper youtube vid lol. Welcome to my neck of the woods even though u commented 3 years ago lol
Thank you Thomas . I am 70 years old. i just raised protein to 1.7 gr per kgram . I feel great ,my muscles are getting better and I am hoping to improve my bone density . Good health in general , one hour swimming or weights 6 days a week.
I
Don’t do strict carnivore BUT...my dinner is invariably 1lbs of grass fed beef or bison with nothing but salt. LOVE it. I am 50 and menopausal and feel better and stronger than a decade ago
There isnt anything wrong with using spices and herbs to flavor things and have a variety of flavor in your diet.
@@CantEscapeFlorida Unless you like it with nothing but salt
Great job!! Keep it up. Moving to carnivore diet slowly because I am eating nuts, etc. Of things I bought.
Bison? So it's great to have a hunter friend? Or hunt yourself?
The meat can get quite expensive
You’re the reason I keep doing the keto diet I am currently 260 I was 274 about 2 weeks ago my goal weight is 160 and I know I will get there soon with the help of your videos I have learned SO much I do a lot of research everyday I watch your videos as motivation whenever I think about giving up so thank you so so so much you’ve kept me going this far
Same here! How's it going btw? I discovered him about four months ago and lost 35 pounds just taking things slow, being more active and learning all I can from him. I like reading people's comments that are a couple of years old and checking in on them. Hope all is well!
Thank you a million times for making another female based video, I learned a ton this morning!
Okay, today I was praying about how much protein I needed, and I stumbled on your video. I have low thyroid, and have been so confused about how much protein I needed and wasted money on protein powders when I could have been investing in more high quality proteins. Everyone says 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight which was so hard for me. Please make more videos on how your wife healed her low thyroid. I have questions about fasting with low thyroid, and how to workout with low thyroid. My sleep and muscle building have been affected by this issue. Thank you for your videos. They are a blessing.
I feel my body looked great on a higher protein diet and I did drink when protein shakes and lost weight and gained muscle ...that's why I do a high protein version of keto
I feel like that’s what I need to do
Does anyone know what actual protein & fat amounts are recommended?
Hey can you share the macros in grams that you ate for the high protein keto to lose weight ? I lost 45 pounds doing traditional but i felt that I everything was really soft although I was visually slim. I’m back on keto to lose 40 pounds after gaining over last year ...
@@cjaneAlaska Sandra Westley he says on one of his videos that 1.2kg of protein for every kilo of your own weight.
@@robwestley7370 you mean gr ..not kg :)
YESSSSS!!!! I had a full blown argument with someone about this. I kept telling them no matter the amount of protein , it just leans me out it doesn’t make me gain weight. They said it’s impossible because of gluconeogenesis. I said that’s not what I’m experiencing. So i eat a lot of protein. Not too too much but I don’t worry about it at all.
Awesome!! I hate when people try to undermine someone’s experience based on what they “know”
Thank you for all your hardwork and for posting videos everyday! As a female with pcos i really appreciate any female related videos because i get to learn about my body!
Love ❤️ your video’s Thomas, more on women over 50 would be appreciated 💋
I mean Thomas is amazing he is so easy on the eyes and he gives us life saving knowledge on fatloss and acv. God bless you Thomas.... my bf can't stand you because I am grinning and taking notes when I watch your videos on our 50 inch TV lol 😂
he’s dreamy 😍
Penny Wiser I agree, 👍🏻 he’s gorgeous 😍and has brains as well. 😘 Great combination👌🏻
My husband loves Thomas delaur cuz he has a science based weightloss program.
Please can you do another video on collagen for improving skin health? Marine vs bovine, timings, things to consider for men, women and different ages etc
@Helen Sons 🤞🤞🤞🤞
In short, eat high quality meat, especially omega 3 rich fish.
Your videos on Inflammation has been very helpful. I have been taking Curcumin and tumeric supplements and my skin has cleared up, my gut Flora is back to normal and I’m just feeling a lot more in control.
Keep making these videos, inflammation is too underrated and people appreciate the knowledge that you teach us.
More video for women pls!!! 🙏🏻
This explains why I feel so great the next morning when I have fish for dinner...
Well.. this was an all round 'feel good' video for me lol! I cant *always* get the quality bacon & pork that i would like *but* grass fed beef has been on rotation. Todays early dinner: Grass fed rump steak grilled with xv coconut oil (beautiful fatty cut)- served with anchovie walnut (heaps of omega 3's) Salsa Verde made with tons of best quality XVOoil + heaps of parsley mint & basil.. green side salad. Love your womens stuff.. keep em coming thanks!!!! : ))
Thank you for this really interesting video. It confirms why I feel so great since I am on the carnivore diet. I eat only grass fed beef, sea salt and spring water. I have been keto for a year, and switched to carnivore since your video on this topic.
I tried it for 3 weeks, but stayed carnivore since then, because it really works for me : mind clarity, sleep, no craving at all for any other food than meat, feeling satisfied (first time in my life that I can say beetween meals that I am not hungry) and no bloating, skin, nails, weight lost, more energy, so I started working out at home.
And my life is so simple now! I am enjoying every minute of it!
I guess the quantity of proteins is different for someone on carnivore diet, because I eat around two pounds of meat every day, as all women do on carnivore diet.
No more need to calculate macros or calories. So simple! Just eat meat when hungry, until satisfied. I love it!!! 🙂
Protein requirements increase with age too regardless of whether you are male or female. It helps fight sarcopenia. Its also important to increase protein if you are healing from an illness or surgery too
Sarcopenia
@@SS-rz1oc thank you 😊
I love being included in these conversations. It makes me feel like I'm being taken more seriously when it comes to my fitness and health. Thank you. It really means a lot.
Great video. With our eggs, wild Alaskan sockeye salmon, our rainbow trout, organic, full fat paneer, collagen and tempeh I get over 100% of every amino acid and 80-100 grams of protein average a day, even with vigorous fasting.
Thank you for this. I am estrogen dominant and have been for many years. As a result I have under active thyroid. I also have endometriosis and they all tie in together. Your videos have helped me find the right supplements and make dietary changes.
thank you for doing women specific information. please do more video on thyroid issues
I’d like to know thoughts on what to consider for women on synthetic thyroid hormone
That's great news! Could you dig into food related reasons for irregular menstrual cycle?
Love these women focused videos! Can we map out a 30 day keto guide for women?
High quality meat tastes amazingly better. If you've never made a point of buying grass fed (preferably raised on a small farm) meat, just try it a few times, and you'll see it's worth the price.
Where I live, it's all 95% lean or something....tastes just like sand. They've ruined meat...the fat makes it tender and not the texture of gravel. So expensive and tastes horrible....just like cardboard.
I'm here just to support your channel, I'm leaving a comment to help the TH-cam algorithm. P.S. you got this ladies.
I like how you prepare before and explain the nutritional facts and advice with science and how you speak fast and keep adding information that you explain with since great job man no time wasting in your video continues information and very knowledgeable
I lost weight by just following your videos thnx for sharing your knowledge with the world for free
I finally found time to go to Trader Joe's and you are correct!!! Chomps beef jerky taste amazing!!!!
This is the only guy I trust on youtube when it comes to fitness health etc
You should move to Brazil! Our cattle over there are primary grass feed. Takes longer to grown and be ready to eat, but the meat it’s way more tasty than in US.
I just want to thank the women-specific content. It is really hard to find and you are helping us so much. Thanks!
I agree please more videos on keto and muscle building for women
Tyrosine zinc and selenium are needed for thyroid
Have tried the vegan diet and my body hated it, that's when I realized my body loves protein...now that I'm back on high protein ( at least 0.8 gr per body weight is my magic number ), high fat, and moderate carbs I feel and look my best. 💪
Its super easy to get that much protein on a plant based diet! Maybe you will give it another go one day :)
@@1cocobeware I would really like that, it breaks my heart eating animals 😭 ... I'll research plant based more in depth and hopefully in time become a vegan. 😍
@@1cocobeware Can you recommend a good source for a plant based keto meal plans?
I C if it really broke your heart eating animals, you would not prioritize your physique over animals life.
Thank You Thomas 👍🏻 loving the women specific videos 😁
Thank you for doing more videos for women !!! Super helpful !
Thank you so much for your advice 🙏🌺 Can you make some informative videos about woman’s with Hashimotos please? What food to eat/avoid and supplements and so forth!
So informative! Thank you. When I went meatless I did notice my metabolism had slowed down ALOT. Slowly eating meats again, and adding the right minerals and I feel great again! 🙌🏽 no more water retention, severe cramping etc.
You are divine. Thank you so much for sharing this free knowledge!
Thank you, thank you for this!! Just started doing Carnivore and Intermittent fasting for use as an elimination diet and initially felt great, but after time not so much. Watching this, made me realize the quality and variety of meat may be a factor in my health I should focus more on. Also didn't notice how much anxiety I had on this topic. Great video, keep 'em coming!
Aim for grass-fed animal products. Commercial Meats are fed GMO feed
Would love a video exactly like this but plant based proteins. 🙂
I was just thinking that when I read your comment.
Plus one !
Me to 😞
Tofu. Tempa, nuts, nut butters , broccoli, soy milk, beans, veggie burgers. Etc...
Chia seeds
Loved the content, as often, but also loved the softer, less in your face quality of that video, really good!
Oh Thomas, you are so easy to understand. Thanks for making complex issues so clear. All the best, Susan. :) P.S. Please see if you can get a UK company to offer us discounts when when buy via your vids. I'm happy to buy organic but it's tricky to get these days in the UK. My local farms are all non-organic!
I had the gastric sleeve surgery and as a result my diet is high protein low carbs and fats so this video is very much appreciated
Yesss!! I love my protein!! So happy to hear this!!! Thank you!!
Methionine starts EVERY protein in our genome, no just keratin. Cysteine creates disulphur bridges(i don't know how it's called in english,in poland it's "mostek disiarczkowy") and it determinates structure of much more proteins then keratine.
I had never heard of both grass fed, grass finished meat until I saw your Aldi's video. Thanks for the info
It’s really important to protect the skeletal muscle as we age. I eat my body weight. I’m 5’10” at 140 so I eat 140 of protein plus I workout 4-5 times a week. I’m also on bios I’m 44 and as we age we loose hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. i do have a thyroid issue hypo, but it’s so much better now that I went paleo and consuming veggies and fats. Thanks for the info!
I have been experiencing sudden hair loss. DUH I was taking Collagen powder but not eating enough other protein. Is the protein requirement the same for post menopausal women? Great video thank You for these female focused videos.
Thank you, Thomas, for these great female related videos! Could you please do one specifically on osteoporosis? Thanks again!
Thank you Thomas for doing this video. Women seem to fear protein laden foods, when dieting, mainly due to the fact that some of the best protein sources come from animal foods which have fat in them. This video will go a long way to assuaging those fears.
Has to be organic
I love that your videos are thought out, informative and easy to understand! Thanks so much!
I have followed your advice and really noticed an improvement in my metabolism and overall well being with the increase of good quality protein in my diet.
Nice info! Thx! I eat butcher box and love it. Makes me feel good that I’m eating healthy protein.
Oh! Super thanks for info on hormones and need for the quality proteins. This is an extremely important video for women. A must watch.
Thank you for o soo much! Speaking truth of the value of grass-fed, organic animals. The other topics are huge and speaking truth there is a great benefit for people. And for the college level essays with reference in the description. Love to Thomas:)
I learn so much from your videos! Thank you so much for all your time and effort. I have decreased my meds and am stopping my meds do to feeling better being on keto and following your advice. Can you do videos on starting a workout routine for someone who has been chair and bed bound for two years and mid 50 years old. So basically no muscles and weakness im ready to start but not sure how without causing injuries. Thanks
Can you do a target and ralphs keto haul??👍🏽💪🏽😌
This is so informative and helpful. Thanks!
Hi Thomas. I started eating keto in January and have lost 10 pounds. I have 67 pounds to go. I have learned alot from your information. Thank you.
Have learned so much from you, thank you for all the information you put out there. You have made Keto so much easier for me. I now not only know what to do, but why i am doing it!
more elderly health videos too please (alot is about weight lifting and weight loss ) as apposed to just health
just turned 28 and have been struggling with belly fat since my young years. Have been doing fasting since 2011 full stop on my periods but lost all the excess weight and still going strong. As I get older though I have noticed it's becoming even easier for me to gain weight and keep it off. since the pandemic I have started doing 24/1 method and a 48 hour fast once a week. It helps but also sucks to see my coworkers eating constantly but not be fat. I probably have a messed up everything but I am still here so I guess I am not at a total loss. I like all this info your doing for the research on how women can better eat and do things that make the body feel better. Never knew any of this before. Thanks
How are you now?
Thanks Thomas for your help. I enjoy looking at your site.
Love doing my OMAD and finding just that right amount of protein intake daily!🙌
Doesn't too much protein turn to glucose? A Doctor I work with told me to watch eating too much protein. He said it was a pitfall that many fall into. I am a 59 year old female who goes to the gym 5-6 days a week. I typically do treadmill (walking) for 30 minutes and then do weight machines for 30. I am strict keto. How many grams of protein (over my macro recommended) is too much? I am a diabetic who has reversed the Diabetes and I can not go back to the shots of insulin!!!! Right now I am in perfect control and NO MEDICATION!! I DO TEST DAILY.
Thank you for this vid. I lovvvvveeee my daily protein. I appreciate you articulating Women’s utilization #watching #sharing #liking
Remember v k-2 and v d to push that calcium into the bone and where it's supposed to be
Should they be in one supplement or can be taken from different sources?
@@annak9216 make sure it's vitamin MK-7 K-2 I use the NOW brand and for the vitamin D3 I use sports research brand 5000 Iu of Amazon
@@reneebarnes2632 thank you!
Is there true benefit to something like Garden Of Life Collagen Builder? It isnt collagen but promotes body to naturally produce, ?
Do I count collagen protein grams into my daily protein grams consumed? For example, I do 20 grams of collagen protein in my coffee. Do I aim for my full 78 grams the rest of the day or do I subtract it and aim for 58 grams? Thanks for a great video
Thank you for this great video. Questions: When you say .5g/lb for women, would that be the actual piece of meat? How much protein content do we know in any given weight of meat? The ADA, CDC and WHO list vastly different intake amounts. How does one reconcile those numbers? Your videos are great. They are on-point, very educational, useful, practical. Even the speed at which you speak is efficient; keeps ears listening. Lean! Thank you for not stealing our time.
Thank you Thomas for all your great videos...
Very thoughtful well done thanks for the nuggets Thomas I'm making the lady watch this one
Thanks for making this distinction. This question comes up all the time. Seems women have hair loss issues more often than men on keto. Thoughts?
Daniel Perryman been doing Keto on and off and as a female I believe I s because of hormones . Eventually hair loss stops.
@@burymebelowawillowtree9243 yea, typically I see it stops as soon as they get their protein levels back up.
Luckily in the past 7 months I have only lost inches and pounds, not hair. I think keeping your electrolytes in balance helps.
Green Serene awesome! Congratulations
Your videos are awesome! It would be great to see a video about a plant-based ketogenic diet.
Wow does anyone else crave red-meat right before their menstrual cycle ? makes a lot more sense after watching this video !! Our bodies really know what they need and we must listen when they try to communicate those needs to us!!!
I’ve been binge watching you for 4days.....thank you for making great content. You are very informative and break it down in a way that anyone could understand.

When Thomas said at 9:30 "since you dont have the hormone...." I was expecting him to finish with " OF THE GODS!!"
Is that why I always feel like I need more protein during pms? I remember someone commented me saying the body needed it for hormonal stuff
I actually really like your videos. Probably the best on you tube for me currently. Thank you
Thank you Thomas. More videos like this.
I learned some new stuff from this video! Keep the women centric stuff coming! Lord knows, there's a shortage of information out there for us, and a lot of "normal" information is studied solely on men, so who knows... thanks for acknowledging the differences between the sexes in a respectful, practical, and science-based manner, Thomas!
Can you please do a video on PCOS and keto?
Or maybe you already did and I just havent found it..
I'm living for these daily uploads! Thank you so much for all this precious information!!!
Another fact-packed, practical and specific actionable information!
Yes please more of these videos! I have learnt so much this far! 😊
But!!! Seed cycling! Estrogen dominance, so to speak, is normal in the follicular phase.and progesterone dominance in the luteal. So taking omega 3s and 6s is dependent on your cycle! I had crazy depressive PMS till I found that omega 3s at the wrong time was getting my progesterone levels lower relative to estrogen... which is bad in the luteal phase! Flax and pumpkinseed meal in the follicular phase, sunflower and sesame in the luteal. Cod liver oil in the folliculr, evening primrose in the luteal. SEED CYCLING. Look it up, ldies. I cut my symptoms down to maybe half a day of PMS and way less breast pain, joint pain, physical symptoms in general. Estrogen vs progesterone is, in my understanding, is the RATIO that creates our bodily changes during the menstrual cycle. Amazing that further research just hasn't been done... but there you have it :|
I love your videos and so informative!!! Can you please do a video of 30 day keto well rounded meal planning for hashimotos and how you helped your wife!!! Hashimotos here and just completed a liver detox and lost 11 lbs of belly fat!!! Plus coffee enemy’s I feel awesome but I need a good food daily regiment?? Thank you
I've read SO many different things about glutamine supplements though....
Thank you so much for this Thomas! Man, it is hard to meet that .5-.6-per-lb protein guideline if you’re cutting calories and keeping good fats relatively high 😓
What IS that equation? .5 what per pound> Grams? Pound of what? Body weight?
I weigh 150, so that's 75 grams= 2.5 ounces?
Love your videos! Would love more on women over 40. Thanks!
Always find your videos informative! Thank you! My question whenever people talk about the thyroid is how different it might be for me since I have NO thyroid at all, and take synthroid everyday.
2NOT2 _ I was wondering about this as well. My thyroid was removed
Hey Thomas, I love your videos and i’ve been watching for a while now...you should make a video talking about your bodybuilding keto macros
I live in France and it's not mentioned if the meat is grass fed or not. It's the same for cream, yogurt, butter or cheese. that's annoying
I am from Ireland and live in Germany and they don't say grass fed either. I can only speak about Ireland really but they don't say grass fed because they don't need to. All are grass fed so why would they need to pt it on the label. 300 out of 365 day in the year cows are fed grass in Ireland only when the grass stops growing in the winter do they get grass silage. Maybe it is the same in France and Germany.
@@berniebylda3306 thank you, i'll do some research to see if it's the same here
Awesome videos!! I've been sending them to my wife.
Hypo and hashi’s here 🙋🏻♀️ I’d love more videos on this please. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you!
I've been enjoying very much your videos. This time is quite helpful for me, 50 years old female. I started to change my diet two weeks ago by your videos because I have felt heavy for both my weight and mood for menopause. The second day of keto diet today, I could move my body and clean up my room which had not happened for eight months. I will keep following your points. I need more your focused guide on a female who has menopause and overweight. Also, some suggestions on some Japanese traditional food such as Natou, Kinako, Tofu, Sesame oil and Soya source would be helpful as well.
Thank you! I will check it out.
This is really good to know. I've been training for months now and my muscle mass has plataud. I think it's because Im not getting enough protein so I bought some protein powder today and am currently drinking my first shake. I was scared I was doing the wrong thing but this video has helped me loads.
Idonthaveaclueful what makes you think you hit a plateau in your fitness journey... curious...
@@issa71022 Hey! Just the fact my muscle mass hasn't been increasing. In fact, in the last couple weeks in gone down slightly despite me making really good progression with my weights.
