First meal... Get a minimum of 30 grams of complete protein, 50 grams maximum, if you want to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.... Eating more will not be used for muscle protein synthesis but will get used elsewhere. I doubt it matters if you need to combine it, like bread and peanut butter. The longer version of this is worth listening to. ❤

[@mementomori29231]

Young people can synthesize lower amounts of protein. Older people need to eat bigger amount of protein due to reduced ability to synthesize protein unless it hits 30grams.

My question is how soon after waking, I try within an hour

[@felipearbustopotd]

@@Nali7890 They say that one should delay eating upon rising due to the levels of raised cortisol? With so much information out there I would go with a try and error approach and see what works BEST for you. If I took the advice. I recently read about eating breakfast early (Between 7 and 8) I'd be forcing myself to eat, sod that. I eat when I feel hungry and not when an article tells me to.

[@Nali7890]

@@felipearbustopotd wouldn't it be better to eat sooner to help regulate cortisol

[@felipearbustopotd]

@@Nali7890 @Nali7890 That is the question. On another upload I viewed, it mentioned one should refrain from eating 2 hours after waking because of cortisol. Do you listen to so-called experts or do you listen to your body. I like to think, listening to how your body is, is a good idea. What do you think or what do you do?

I really enjoy listening to Prof Layman. I learn something new every time I listen to him.

[@Helmutiii]

Nice video, you spitting fax!

[@user-tp2ih3kq6k]

Thanks!

[@geopietro]

I would love to know exactly what Professor Layman eats for breakfast. I vaguely remember him saying in another video that at least part of his breakfast is a smoothy with protein powder. But of course, I want all the details! :-) Thank you for the video Dr. Lyon. Don is a national nutritional treasure.

[@LifelongLearningwithScott]

Is it advisable/more effective for muscle protein synthesis to take a branch chain amino acid supplement instead of a whey protein shake or food protein source for breakfast?

[@terri3961]

Learn so much from reading everyones comments 😊

[@johnsavage4786]

Can you imagine telling Dr Anthony Chaffee not to eat red meat. He is No 1

[@Chodfather1107]

I never eat breakfast but I intermittent fast every day. I'm 5. 9 and 167 lbs and I eat about 90% carnivore and have dropped 15lbs and 2.5 inched from my waist. It's about avoiding hyperinsulinemia and carbohydrates. Fasting does a great job of handling insulin levels and high fat animal products handle the rest. Simple. My boss is 60 and eats like an 8 year old. Cookies and milk before bed and 3 meals a day. Skinny with a metabolism that I haven't had in 40 years. We're all so different but the vast majority of us struggle with weight at some point. If you want to gain muscle, it doesn't have to be complicated. Eat animal products until you're full, lift weights and do some high intensity interval training . Done.

[@shawnadams1693]

Can you share what an average day of eating looks like for you?

[@Chodfather1107]

@@shawnadams1693I start the day with 14oz of coffee with heavy cream and monk fruit powdered sweetener. Lunch is an 8-10oz broiled pork chop with a cup of cottage cheese. I have another coffee prepared the same way as earlier. Dinner is (on a good day) 14-16 oz of ribeye or New York strip with a cup of rice or small baked potato. On a cheaper day, I will substitute a quarter roast chicken for dinner with maybe some broccoli or rice pilaf. The carbs are dangerous because the more I have the more I want. If I don’t eat enough meat I will always go to the carbs and over do it. This sounds dumb but when in doubt, eat more meat.

[@blancombara8583]

So what about fasting if you have daily Lunch and dinner. Intermitent fasting doesn't look like very relevant for both Gabrille and Don Layman

I just started following Dr Gabriel Lyon on her different podcasts. Whether on her own podcast or on other people's podcasts. Anyway , for the last couple years I've been jogging alot having run 3 -1/2 marathons in the last year. I did resistance training 3 or 4 days a week but it was high rep and low weight and even though I was eating super clean I neglected my protein requirements. I ended up with low T levels and lots of belly fat. So I just revamped my diet, jogging and weight training going for hitt sprinting and heavier weights. I'm going to track my progress with pictures etc. and check back in a month. Dr Lyon I'm sorry but I was disappointed with your book. Most of the content, stories etc. I already heard in the podcasts I have listened to. But its nice to read now and then instead of podcasts. ❤

[@Phxphenom]

OK so the first meal is critical. I'd like to know if it makes a material difference if one works out before the first meal or if one needs to work out within 2 hours of said meal. Does it matter if one waits until later in the day to maximize muscle protein synthesis?

[@mementomori29231]

The sooner you eat the sooner your body can synthesize muscle growth. Small difference in short run, could be big difference long run.

[@Phxphenom]

So workout before eating? Is there a window to max Protein Muscle Synthesis?

[@mikeg6860]

​@@PhxphenomOld School thinking was that you had a very short window after training to eat protein along with carbs. More recent research says that the window is much larger (ex. 24 hrs) and that you don't need the carbs with the protein. So, eat protein around your training in a way that is comfortable for you

[@Phxphenom]

@@mikeg6860 Thanks! Appreciate the feedback.

[@LennefalkStudios]

Very interesting, definitely feel better after increasing red meat intake instead of huge carb meals 🍖🍚🥟🍜

[@lansingdoesbusiness9356]

56 yrs old and I’ve been one meal a day for over a decade to manage type2 and wanted to add in two quality protein meals earlier in the day to retain muscle but it has made my blood sugar skyrocket and unmanageable. Even just adding one back in wreaks my BS. Back to one meal I guess and hope my muscle loss is kept to a minimum🤞

[@mementomori29231]

If you had more muscle it would help with managing blood sugar.

No.

Don't need breakfast at all. Eat between 2pm and 8pm.

[@DoggieFosters]

You don't get the rather obvious etymology of the word "breakfast" do you?

Many people do need to eat. Sometimes, a fast is something you have to gradually and gently work towards.

What is the big deal about eating like our ancestors? Our ancestors are dead. Eliminating good carbs will catch up with you. Your colon will be sick and your testosterone will be wrecked. Since our ancestors didnt have electricity go live in a cave dude

[@judithcervizzi6609]

A high fat diet made my blood sugar soar!

[@binathere2574]

Yeah not high fat. Enough protein and sensible amounts of fat. Dr William Davis says fibre is import as well. His passion is SIBO and insulin.

[@SeoulUnohana]

So basically, regardless of the diet just don't eat too much. Makes sense. Just for overall health and muscle growth, I liked Dave Palumbo's Keto diet. It wasn't the medical version where you eat tons of fat and little protein. The majority of your calories would be from protein lots of veggies, and different kinds of fat.

[@binathere2574]

Tons of fat will not work for everyone. It will make some people ill. Especially those with hyerinsulinemia.

[@serena9543]

This is crazy. Most impotant meal is breakfast and high protein at night is useless? So NOT what experts have been saying including Dr. Lyon. Also studies have been coming out that skipping meals is not good so to me making fasting not as effective as experts have been saying???

[@DONNA8285]

They never said what to eat. He said 50grams of protein and from red meat?

[@felipearbustopotd]

Just make sure whatever the protein is, it's a complete protein source, even if you need to combine it.
