MPS 2-part youtube video

Okiludy

This is the best video series I have seen on MPS to date. I learned many things and changed my opinion on a few items. I felt that with the numerous protein questions here that it might be helpful.

I like the 2nd video because it confirms my general recommendation of 0.8-1.2g of protein/#BW,/day (which I learned about elsewhere on the Net long ago), as an effective range of consumption for protein maximal synthesis.

The lower end of the range being an acceptable "average" for most people but the higher end being better for weight lifters and older people.

I happen to be an older lifter and average between 0.8-1.2g protein/#BW/day and have been eating protein at this rate for almost 2 years with notable results in terms of weight/fat loss and strength/muscular development.

I also like that they say that there is nothing "wrong" with even more protein and that eating more may even be beneficial (particularly for fat reduction), which is contrary to the frequently stated opinion on MFP that "you don't need to eat THAT much protein" (which is usually w/in or below the 0.8-1.2g/#BW range).

God forbid anyone choose to go over 1g/lb body weight on protein; I can not believe how many people on these forums will tell you this is recipe for osteoporosis, chronic kidney disease, and obesity

Cool video, I liked the whole intermittent fasting needs more data (seems extremely non ideal for building or even maintaining muscle) & reality that most protein consumed is slow digesting (vs. many studies that exclusively use fast acting whey)

The bold is a very rare occurrence and often by those who tend to follow plant based diets... And more specifically, the ones who just learned it from a Netflix documentary. Its certainly not a common thing discussed on the forums.

I can't wait to watch both these. I saw Jeff post them but i dont have over an hour to listen yet.
