@notaperfectchristian That you need to eat your body weight in grams of protein to build muscle and lose weight. And basically everything related to keto.

@slant Yes. I quit completely and started listening to Maintenance Phase and it's the best. Also IMO raising your metabolism with muscle building is way better than CICO. You could also try the Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss which promotes eating all you want whenever you want of certain ingredients.

@dan123 I have never been 112 pounds nor would I want to be. I would be thrilled to be 123. My lowest weight ever was about 118. I guess I could go thinner but why? The muscle loss would be too great and counter productive to progress or maintaining.

@froginmaryland How would you say he is biased? Do you have any new sources you like better? He was my gateway vegan drug too. I have always appreciated someone reading and breaking down studies for me. But even I am getting tired of the oversimplified"vegetables cure every problem in the...

@ichthymom Usually a fan, but his last book How Not to Age totally confused the f*ck out of me on this topic. Also, love that he is an advocate for the plant based cause, but he is never going to win over the carnivore brotein crowd while being the pale, skinny vegan stereotype.

@shieldofangels WTF? I would be 3x my current weight in a week if I ate that. Who is this guy? That diet is so all over the place. Is he trying to be vegan? Get SWOL? You are basically describing every day living with my tall husband. He needs to eat constantly so I easily overeat around him...

@dikaioumenoi The protein thing is mostly marketing BS in western countries. You can listen to the great protein fiasco on Maintenance Phase to learn more or check out the Starch Solution to learn how weight loss is totally possible with carbs. Everyone in the US is getting enough protein. It...

@freds Going vegan really changed the game for me on this one. And then taking iron supplements stopped my steak cravings so I could better commit to being vegan.

@happywifehappylife Even when I ate lots of red meat and eggs my blood tests showed I was still iron deficient and needed a chelated iron supplement and vitamin b-12 supps to get my blood to normal levels. Red meat wasn't the answer for me. Iron supps were. If you had tried iron supplements and...

@devinl How did you lose the first 10?

@forwhatitsworth Right? Agree. Love him.

@neahkahnie Yes. Read How Not to Die. There are yummy protein rich vegan alternatives in the frozen section of Sprouts and Whole Foods. Also cheaper than meat.

@kenhui Yeah the American obsession with protein is problematic and based in a lot of myth. Worth looking into the history behind it. Maintenance Phase has a good episode on it.
