How the Body Uses Protein vs Energy by Dr. Ted Naiman MD

Humans are apex predators, or at least they used to be. The macronutrient ratio of the standard American diet is out of whack, and so are our bodies.
Through the development of agriculture, protein in our diet has gone down, and energy consumption has gone up.
In the 1970’s obesity rates skyrocketed. What happened? Sugar, flour, and oil were dumped into our diets at alarming rates. Worst of all, protein has been diluted in our diets. This means we overeat high energy foods until we are satiated, causing metabolic disorder and rampant weight gain.
Did you know that research shows that diets that prioritize protein have higher success rates for participants looking to better manage their weight as well as looking for ways to stay fuller longer?
In 20 years of medical practice, Dr. Naiman has never seen anyone with too much protein in their diet. What he does see, is people with far too little.
Protein is the most essential nutrient of all. Dr. Ted Naiman is here to tell us why.

Just noticed his diet is like the popular French Dukan Diet. Lean protein, low fat, and low carb in the weight loss phase. Having been high fat carnivore, vegan, Paleo, and everything in between, I am now thinking Ted Naiman and Dr. Dukan are right: protein is King.

[@redchakra03]

Sadly he don't mention how fat is as essential as protein, I mean all your cells have a membran that are pure fat, steroid hormon aka testosteron and oestro are fattt hormones, omega 3 maybe ?..... I mean wtf, low fat diet are no Bueno, fat is not just storage energy.... 🤦‍♂️

[@jasonturner6459]

@@redchakra03 That's more of the weight loss phase . You lower carbs and fats to make it easier to burn body fat. as you get leaner, you up the fat to achieve maintenance

[@martinirving3824]

Summary: The goal should be to maximize nutrition while minimizing calories. That means quality animal product. Bone broths would be a major component. Plants literally do the reverse. They increase the calorie content of the diet while decreasing meaningful nutrient content, thus requiring greater intake (protein leverage).

[@OznerpaGMusiC]

this is absolutely brilliant, but the audio is extremely low - the uploader needs to separate the audio from the video in a video editor (you can do that in ShotCut), render the audio only, put the audio in a multi-track program like Audacity, 'normalize' the audio to make it louder, then pair the audio with the video in the video editor and render it

[@Alper88]

Great presentation from dr. Ted Naiman, but please fix the sound.

[@daveeastman1633]

This is almost inaudible even with sound up full. Great content from Ted, though.

[@alphacause]

Of all the assertions posited to explain why we are seeing the raging epidemic of obesity, especially among the world's impoverished, the protein leverage hypothesis is one of the best explanations. We are hearing in the news, especially as of late, about income inequality. The form of inequality that is not spoken about in the news, but which deserves equal or even more attention, is protein inequality. Kudos to Dr. Ted Naiman for elucidating the protein leverage hypothesis in such an accessible fashion.

Unfortunate audio quality. Which is an incredible shame since the information is excellent.

I used my HDMI cable to the TV and was able to get a more volume. I'd hate to miss a word Dr. Naiman says.

Terrific Ted. Nice presentation on the same topics you espouse on Twitter. I appreciate all you do and share.

I'm hoping Ted responds to my direct tweet... I amplified the audio and have it ready for him should he choose to download/upload.

Indeed excellent explanation of why we have such a problem in America and most of the world.

[@ellorente32]

Excellent lecture. Dr. Naiman broke it down simply for me to understand. I wonder, however as I get older, consuming more protein on a Low carb diet, offsets the diminish production of testosterone?

[@zoltangaal1842]

Good presentation with excellent pictures. The right pace of speech, pauses to give time to the audience to digest what's being said. You put the emphasis on avoiding carbs. You don't talk about low carb / high fat / moderate protein diet. Surely there must be a sweet pot there. We know that a high carb diet raises insulin, and that starts an energy accumulation mode. If you cut out carbs entirely, you put an end to this energy accumulation mode and start to burn fat. Extreme version of this is Type 1 diabetes, where you cannot put away anything and just waste away in the midst of plenty because there is no / not enough insulin. I personally find Ron Rosedale as the most forward-looking scientist in this field of nutrition and health.

[@verbulent_flow6229]

So, I wrote down the important parts of the video: "What is eating? So plants are autotrophs, and they make their own food. Animals are heterotrophs, meaning they eat other living things. That's right: you and I are animals and we are only alive because we eat other living things. So all animals can be divided into herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. But no matter what kind of animal you are, plants are at the base of all animal nutrition. Herbivores are predators of plants, and they have to make al the food for all the animals. What plants do is take all the Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen; the three biggest elements of life, and they use them to make all of their own food. " Please, continue my work by replying what he says next. I can't do it all by myself...

Atkins low carb version? I am all for protein, but isn't increased protein above 20% primarily for those who want to build muscle? And doesn't protein raise moderate insulin levels? Insulin is the master protein synthesizer to create peptides from absorbed amino acids.

[@gabrielggabriel]

Ted Naiman says that get fatter is caused by carbs + fat or eating high energy density foods, not about the carb-insulin model, cause people and animals that eat too much protein are actually very thin.

[@yelenaangeleski3354]

I like Naiman and what he has to say, but he's totally wrong about the protein content of human diet prior to the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago. While we continue to imagine that pre-historic people depended mostly on game and fish for their food (on animal protein obtained by hunting and fishing), to their own surprise anthropologists realized back in the 1970s and 1980s that almost 75% of hunter-gatherers' caloric intake came in the form of plants (including roots and nuts), and only 25% in the form of meat/fish. High protein intake may be very good for us -- I myself tend to feel and do better on lots of animal protein and don't do nearly as well when I consume only vegetables -- but there's no doubt that we as a species evolved to be predominantly reliant on plant foods. The interesting thing is that, even so, our ancestors definitely did eat a lot more protein than the average Westerner, fully confirming Dr. Naiman's thesis. As for the audio/sound volume problems: I find that I get pretty good volume with headphones and can follow easily what he's saying.

[@jasonturner6459]

What about the isotope analysis? This confirms that ancient but anatomically modern humans were high level carnivores. Humans are more plant foods as mega fauna died out

[@wendycarter5718]

That would been scientific studies “ BACKED “ by the American food industry !!!! The world has been lied to by the American food industry patsies for the last hundred years !!!

[@Lektuerekurs]

This one dimensional focussed quackery is the same stuff as people advertising low fat 20years ago only he is preaching for protein and saying stuff like 'corn is bad' as today's fashion...

[@jasonturner6459]

A a general rule, corn is bad. especially for wright loss and he's not wrong, whether you prefer low fat or low carb, higher protein helps you lose weight

You should be sorry for your ignorant comment. Dr Ted Naiman is an MD and researcher. He has done extensive work on the field of nutrition. You do not believe what he presents, that’s another subject.

[@jasonturner6459]

His take is indeed scientific and you may disagree but stating that without pointing out anything that's wrong hurts your credibility.
