1:55 You seemed to have misunderstand my question. It's not that I can't get enough protein; it's that I get too much. Scale up your Daily Dozen to 3,000 calories for an active 180 lb male and it's 1.4 g/kg of protein. I've provided the cronometer details in another comment. Many people have recognized this issue and it probably should be addressed. The only way I can limit my protein to 0.8 g/kg is to eat 1,800 calories of fruit, which I can not do.
@@myhorse52 I can relate . I was 135 lbs over weight on 11-7 & didn’t make the connection until I went to day shift . Weight fell off with no dietary change .
I am a night shift worker at Wal-Mart. I am blown away at the health and appearance of my peers. Now, I take good care of myself (diet: Dr. Fuhrman & Dr. Greger, Skin: Dr. Dray & Lab Muffin, Fitness: RpStrength, Mental health: CBT 2nd and 3rd generation), but my peers look like they are all about to die. Last night, I watched a co-worker who is morbidly obese eat an entire box of honey buns and chugged down 3 monster energy drinks.
I have cronometered the Daily Dozen and the options that I picked, BEFORE adding more foods to meet my calorie requirements, I came up with 1,600 calories and 14% calories from protein. That is 56 grams of protein, or....0.82 grams protein per KG of my body weight. what is that person worried about?56 grams of protein is probably about right for someone 160lbs or less and not real active. I push the Daily Dozen calories up to around 2,100 per day for my needs and bump the protein to 100 (I lift weights 5 to 6 days per week) and I target the 1.6 grams per kg that has shown to be good for older and active people after which you don't see benefit anymore.
Geez vegans are dull. The person is not saying they are not getting enough protein, but they are saying that they are getting "too much" as Dr. Greger recommends lower intakes of protein. Btw in many interviews people have asked Dr. Greger if they should eat more protein if they exercise, and he ridiculously replied that it was unnecessary and pointless. That's the guy you're following, except you don't even follow him cuz you eat 100g of protein, which he would be against.
To the person asking about collagen, theres a video on youtube about how the plant exclusive diet is better for collagen production than eating meat or taking collagen supplements, due to collagen being produced from vitamin c and other things eaten on a plant exclusive diet.

Thank you for your work. I would like to see you to go back to walking on the tread mill. Perhaps, if you just don't do the thing where you stand on the tread mill and say (comming to you) live, and then ride the treadmill back, then the other people wouldn't feel sea sick. Anyway, best wishes to you.
I used to work overnights and I'd have a cup noodle at work and come home and eat a big bowl of raisin bran with extra sugar. Glad I stopped doing that. My early adult years were painfully awkward.
I think the bamboo leaves question would pertain to bamboo leaf tea. Not sure on dietary impact of silica with endogenous collagen synthesis, or dosage. But yeah, don't just chow down on the leaves if you love your teeth 👍
Based on the latest research, you've changed your thinking about using fluoride toothpaste. Does that mean that you now recommend getting fluoride treatments at the dentist?
Nope. Gout is caused by a diet high in processed crap. A plant exclusive diet gets rid of it. I don't remember where I found it, but it was on youtube by a very obscure doctor and I doubt I could find the info again, but the doc said that uric acid is actually an anti oxidant,which is released when no vegetables are being eaten (or not enough veg are eaten) and it causes pain when it is released. At the same time I found a video about alzheimers and amyloid plaque. Saying a study was done in Ireland of the brains of people who had amyloid plaque and a medication was given to them that got rid of the plaque, but when the plaque had gone, a lot of the people grew other brain issues such as tumours or something like that. It suggested that the plaque was actually protecting the brain. So the medication was never put on the market
Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen and his 0.8 g/kg/day of protein recommendation are not consistent with each other. His Daily Dozen provides much more protein for active people that meet Dr. Greger's exercise requirements. I'm an active 180 lb male that requires at least 3,000 calories/day. Here's an example of the Daily Dozen with the specified serving amounts entered into cronometer: Black Beans, Canned, Drained, Low Sodium | 1.5 cup, whole pieces | 361.19 kcal Blueberries, Fresh | 0.5 cup, whole pieces | 42.18 kcal Strawberries, Raw | 0.5 cup, halves | 24.32 kcal Apple, Fresh, With Skin | 1 medium - 3" diameter | 94.64 kcal Prunes, Dried | 4 each | 91.2 kcal Grapes, Raw | 0.5 cup, whole pieces | 52.1 kcal Broccoli, Raw | 1 cup, chopped | 30.94 kcal Kale, Raw | 67 grams | 23.45 kcal Spinach, Raw | 2 cup, cut pieces | 13.8 kcal Carrots, Baby, Raw | 1 NLEA serving | 29.75 kcal Asparagus, Raw | 5 medium - spear - 5 1/4" to 7" long | 16 kcal Seeds, Flaxseed | 1 tbsp. chopped | 37.38 kcal Almonds, Raw | 0.25 cup, chopped | 188.17 kcal Turmeric, Ground | 0.25 tsp | 2.44 kcal Oats, Regular or Quick, Dry | 1 cup | 306.97 kcal Wild Rice, Uncooked | 0.25 cup | 142.8 kcal Spring Water | 60 fl oz | 0 kcal Running General, Moderate | 90 minutes | -793 kcal Total: 1,457 kcal 57.4 grams protein If I double the food to meet my calorie requirements, that's 114.8 grams of protein for 2,914 calories. This is 1.4 g/kg of protein. If I don't double it, should I eat non-Daily Dozen foods to get my additional calories? If I only ate fruit for the remaining 1,500 that would be only 8 additional grams of protein which would put me at 0.8 g/kg. Including the 306 calories of fruit from the Daily Dozen that would total 1,800 calories of fruit. I do not want to eat that amount of fruit. You might as well call Dr. Greger's recommended diet a fruitarian diet if he expects people to limit their protein and get the recommended amount of exercise. Personally, I've chosen to eat the 1.4 g/kg of protein, because I'm 60 and if I would eat the volume of food required to keep my protein that low, I would have problems with bloating and acid reflux. This is because calories dense plants (e.g. beans) are also high in protein.
"Adults require no more than 0.8 or 0.9 grams of protein per healthy kilogram of body weight per day." So first off, I'm going to assume you're healthy, so we can ignore the "per healthy kilogram" part. But you might be missing the second part, which is "require no more than." Dr. Greger is saying this to establish a health minimum for the population. The paper he cites agrees that this is a minimum and that eating twice that is fine, but 3 to 4 times more could pose a risk.
By the way, something is glitching with YT comments for me, but here is the direct quote from the paper that Dr. Greger cites "It did conclude however that it is unlikely that intakes of twice the safe level are associated with any risk and also advised caution to those contemplating the very high intakes of 3-4 times the safe intake which approach the tolerable upper limit and cannot be assumed to be risk-free."

@@FerdyLox I’d suggest batch cooking healthy soups, lentil stews etc. Also why not sometimes don’t cook.. just do a whopping big salad with walnuts, seeds, sundried tomatoes, even a packet of precooked lentils or whole grains could be added. Especially if you have a freezer.
Cooking and freezing is the only way to get variety, to be honest. For me, when tired, it's hummus sandwiches topped with something or other (parsley, tomato slices, fresh garlic), plus one fruit, two vegetables, walnuts and soy milk. I'll cut up peppers, cucumber, or make a green salad, then have berries or an apple. You can eat like that several nights per week. I also eat goat cheese and sheep yogurt. (Humanely treated, not factory farmed, better protein profile.) I eat vegetarian but not vegan at least a few times every week.
Baked tofu comes pre-cooked, just open the packet and add to rice and veggies. Soy milk has protein too. Cooked organic rice is available in packets, no cooking needed, just heat. Have frozen kale on hand to add to meals, takes about 5 minutes to cook. A can of beans is quick protein. Some frozen veggie burgers are high in protein too. These are some of my quick ways to have a decent plant based meal.
@sidilicious11 If a person is determined to avoid processed foods, some of those would not be ideal. Granted, hummus is processed as well. I try to eat fresh, but you're right, it does take longer. Preparing a simple salad takes longer than microwaving a prepared meal.
