People Want More Protein. Even at Dessert.

Is this an article about me!? :lol: Thanks for posting this!
On the leading edge…made my first protein ice cream 4 years ago this week :lol: :wave: Dr Ted Naiman's ice cream here: https://youtu.be/zCgDBd8FgvY?feature=shared. And here: https://energytoxicity.com/Tips.html Eat from this infographic, as much as you want, and you will lose weight Very easy, no jello mix or artificial sweeteners required. Use a frozen three berry mix which is slightly sweeter with blueberries in it. A vanilla PP..only one scoop of PP a day. Rotate in LF cottage cheese and NF yogurt. All yummy! For a fraction of the calories of any food using HWC, regular cheese or high fat yogurt. My main protein sources are fish and chicken, with vegetables for fiber and micronutrients. A protein dessert/snack is a treat, a small % of daily protein. A commercial protein dessert would be a waste of money, to say nothing of the chemical preservatives likely in it. And only 54 grams of Protein for an adult?! LOL :lol: Over the past 5 years since the publication of TheP:E Diet and SPC, many have embraced the simple weight loss method of 1 g P per pound of ideal body weight. I would be considered "elderly" so that works for me. |
Sigh. If this is how we have to get the protein message out...

Eating too much protein could cause dehydration and nutrient imbalances, she says. She recommends a minimum of 54 grams of protein for an 150-pound adult. That much protein would correspond to about two eggs, one cup of Greek yogurt and a serving of salmon, she says [quote) Where is the evidence for that? It's just a scare tactic.I've never heard Dr Westmann speak about dehydration. Her recommendation for amount of daily animal based protein is low. |
There's only 3 macronutrients.
THEY want you to limit fats (and sat fat and cholesterol) to a bare minimum. THEY also want you to limit protein to a paltry 54 g (preferably plant based of course). The only macro left is carbs - Oh yes, eat lots of carbs, lots and lots of them! Fill up on them! Then you can be hungry again in an hour, since you didn't have enough fat or protein to sustain you! Just carbs to skyrocket your blood sugar, followed by an inevitable blood sugar crash and lack of energy. Then you can fill up on carbs again! And be starving in an hour... and fill up on carbs again! Rinse and repeat over and over, all day long, until you fall into bed utterly exhausted and weak from lack of protein and lack of sustained energy, then you can do it all over again the next day. What a miserable roller coaster. |
These kinds of articles are just another way of talking about dessert.

I'm convinced that nutritionists never even bother look at the full vitamin/mineral content of anything, just go by the macros and the very few nutrients on the nutrition facts labels, so the "nutrient imbalance" is obviously that if you get more than 54 g of protein, then you're not going to have the stomach capacity for almost 6 times as many carbs as g of protein. And then you have the "problem" that most proteins come with fats, which really throws off their "nutrient" balance. As far as dehydration, the reason we lose so much water weight when we first start on LC is that carbs cause you to retain fluid. Cut down on the carbs and eat more protein - you lose a lot of that excess fluid. They are apparently using some kind of twisted logic to make it sound like losing your excess fluid can result in a state of dehydration. Will you drop some water weight? Yes, but I hardly think you're going to actually become dehydrated, certainly not to a dangerous extent, unless you intentionally deny yourself fluids when you're thirsty. Such nonsense... :rolleyes: Anything to keep people eating carbs, carbs, carbs! |

Urea is the main by-product of protein metabolism, and it does require more water to help flush it out of the bloodstream via the kidneys into the urine. The solution is not to eat less protein, but to simply drink more water. FWIW, too little protein in the diet can lead to fluid retention! |

Exactly right! You are far smarter than a dietitian! |

Amen - especially considering that half the crap food they want us to consume, it's fortified artificially, anyway. Thanks, but I'll pass on the cereal and bread, and just take whatever vitamin/mineral supplements that I see fit. What's the difference between them adding the vitamins, and me choosing my own? |
I can't even imagine how much protein one would need to consume to become dehydrated - and it would need to be intentional dehydration, purposely gorging on protein, while intentionally avoiding drinking water.
As an example, the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest was held a few weeks ago. This year's winner ate 58 hot dogs in the allotted 10 minutes. Each hot dog only has about 5 gr protein, but of course it's served in a bun which provides approximately another 3-5 g protein. They can drink water with it, but mostly they don't take the time to drink at all, just dunk the hot dogs in water to soften up the bun so they can swallow the hot dog and bun with very little chewing. So there they are eating 58 hot dogs (x5 g protein) along with 58 buns (x 3-5 g protein) for a grand total of 464 to 580 g g protein. In 10 minutes. They'll probably throw up afterwards due to the sheer volume of food they've swallowed in such a short amount of time - but that's still somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 TIMES the amount of protein they want to limit everyone to in a day... and yet they were not even drinking water with all that protein, only dunking their buns in water to make them easier to swallow. Somehow, they still do not become dehydrated on 10 times the recommended daily protein limit. I hardly think anyone is going to become dehydrated by eating 100 or even 150 g protein over the course of a day, even if only drinking when they happen to be thirsty. |
I shoot for 130 grams a day, and I usually make it, and it FEELS GOOD.

My goal is about 130g of protein but I feel pretty successful if I make it to 100g. That feels like a good number to me. Though I confess I’m not a big meat fan so also look for other options, and I love my protein ice cream. 🍨
