7 PROTEIN MYTHS Debunked

Protein is vital for building and rebuilding your body and all of your organs. Yet, there are so many myths out there saying protein is bad for you in some way. This video debunks protein myths that may have been keeping you from eating enough protein for optimal health.
The amino acids that come from proteins are the building blocks making up all of your tissues and organs. From your muscles to your kidneys, they are all made of protein and need a good supply of protein to function optimally.

They told me this before I started keto. I am afraid every day because of the beef and chicken protein I eat. I have lost 67lbs since February and have not had a stone YET.

I went for a physical last year to a local g.p & told him i consume around 6 whole eggs daily, + red meat 4 times a week but i do have 1 protein shake a day as a quick meal and fats from from avacados & olive oil & butter with little amounts of carbs but i dont think he believed me as i looked so fit, keep up the good work doc

You can get protein from plants

[@rollingstart_90s]

@@mini-wy7us Yes, but as explained in this video, meat/animal based protein is much better for us. Vegan communities are trying very hard to label meat, eggs etc. as the most unhealthy things in this planet, while promoting all the heavenly health benefits of modern day, chemically processed plant based "food like products". I do understand the ethical views that most vegans and plant based diet followers have, but unfortunately that does not change anything. Despite the suffering and death of factory raised animals, that does not make meat bad for human beings. We can go into another subject by talking about antibiotics, GMO grains and all that crap that goes hand in hand with the mass production of meat, and yes... that stuff isn't good for us.

In 1973, I was diagnosed withe Severe Hypoglycemia and Placed on a High Protein low Carbohydrate Diet Supplemented with Mega-Vitamin Therapy. I was always very active and could run full speed, (as fast as I could move my legs without falling on my face), for a mile and almost never run out of strength or energy when I was around 18 yrs old. After being on that Diet for about a month and a half, I actually felt Better and more energetic than I did at 18! Unfortunately, I had to drop the supplements and drop the full diet as I couldn't afford it at that time. As for using Soy products, I had an acquaintance who used a lot of Soy products, Biked everywhere, on the treadmill every morning and Pushed weights regularly. One day he showed me some open sores on his legs and asked me what I thought the Problem might be. I told him to git rid of the Soy and start eating a Greasy Hamburger at least once a week as he seemed to be getting more than a little effete to me. Never did know if he took the advice . . . probably not too well.

[@chris_losin_it]

I've been the caregiver in our family for many of our elderly family members. I can say first hand that all the elderly that I've cared for, lose their appetite as they age. Partly due to their ability to chew well enough. From my experience, their nutrition needs drastically change. Their nutrition, especially their protein needs actually increase. It seems for them to have the muscle mass and energy it takes to do many things, takes more protein. Just look at their labs. Many times the numbers being out of range are consistently brushed off as part of aging. I call BS. I don't claim to be an expert. Just odd that every senior I've cared for, have a problem meeting their nutritional needs. They eat entry, just not nutritionally well.

SUMMARY OF THE 7 MYTHS: (Please watch the video for more details and reasons) 1. Protein is bad for your kidneys and liver 2. Plant-based protein is just as good or better than animal-based protein 3. You can only use 30-40 g of protein per meal 4. Protein powders or shakes are the best sources of protein 5. Seniors don't need as much protein 6. Soy is a good source of protein 7. Animal sources of protein are bad for your bones

[@chcnsac]

Thank you. You answered all of my concerns about protein sources. Im a triple positive Breast Cancer survivor, diagnosed 5 yrs ago at the end of September. My oncologist told me to stay away from Soy products due to the plant based estrogen. Was also told that fat cells can produce estrogen, as can the adrenals. 18 weeks of 4 different chemo agent treatments and a continuation of Herceptin , ending at the year mark. Refused to have radiation. Said goodbye to my “girls” and am now the proud owner of foobs. Am 60+, and had always been told to not overdo the consumption of protein for fear of kidney issues. Was concerned about too much animal protein. The information seems to change daily, depending on sources. It’s so confusing. Thank you Dr. Barry 💗

[@juniebugg7675]

Hi Crystal, my name is Karen. I am 61 and in my 8th year as a BC Survivor. I also refused to have radiation and instead, insisted that they do a hysterectomy. I figured that if there were any stray cancer cells floating around, they were going to migrate to the female organs where they would be fed off the estrogen and progesterone. My concern about hormones right now is that I am still on hormone suppressants. I have decreased them to four times per week but I do worry that they are contributing to a hormonal imbalance. My husband and I both need to shed pounds and there are so many different ways out there that I get frustrated. I am going to give the keto to carnivore journey a try. So glad to learn someone else out there is on a similar path. Best wishes to you!

[@judithweymark8643]

Yep, same here. Double radical mastectomy, 18 weeks chemo, 5 weeks daily radiation, 5 years oestrogen suppression. Now nearly 6 years since diagnosis and 30 kg lighter, feeling better than before the cancer on keto diet. I've been trying carnivore for the last couple of months, but still not entirely sure it's for me. I'll probably end up getting some carbs back in.

Is pork still red meat or “the other white meat?” Thanks for your clearly presented informative videos.

[@MsAnchovey]

Maybe I can suggest a couple of answers here until Dr answers. 1.The less you cook meat the more nutritious it is..except chicken and maybe pork. 2. Beef has been touted as the Meat superfood, especially the organs. 3. Pork isn't a ruminant. A lot depends on how your body works with pork or any meat. Personally, unless straight from a local butcher, I dont eat much pork and once a week chicken. The test is beef and eggs. Im 2 years CV.

Beef is actually the best for you from what I understand… And then chicken and then pork I would say. Is way up there in protein and so is veal but I have a hard time eating Bill, thinking of a natural way they are taken from their mothers and killed. With the meat is incredible. I don't know about it being the other white meat, I think that something manufacturer came up with to get us a pork instead of beef. That's really what's going on right now Bill Gates and the rest of them/the Global globalist want us to get rid of the beef in the pastures and eat their new manufactured junk. Hope this helps a little. I did not see anybody answer your question, and I would probably ask the authorities, but this is what I remember, and all the videos of watched.

Would love it if you could delve deeper into the 30 grams/meal myth. I've heard that one from bodybuilders for decades. I recently watched a video talking about how the body doesn't like to keep nitrogen around and so will remove the nitrogen from any amino acids that don't get used within several hours after absorbing them and excrete the nitrogen in the urine, leaving just the carbon backbone to be burned as sugar. Any truth to that?

I worked in veterinary medicine for years. When we have a patient with renal insufficiency or renal failure we put them on a low protein diet. Im not sure why this is if your information is correct. Any thoughts?

[@louismagee9715]

I do keto and wondering about if too much protein increases igf hormone that can stimulate tumors. I hear that a lot. Is there a threshold on the amount we should eat just to be cautious?

Doctors do 30 minutes of nutritional training in their medical training so I quess your right about that. My doctor is way overweight.

Hi Doctor I love every you say ,but I’m confused,my Doctor say one thing and then you say another. I’ve been told that I have osteopenia as well as proteins in my urine and that will lead me to dyslexia what can I do to prevent this, please I need your help thanks

[@jeremy87turbo87]

Please clarify a question for me when you say meet are you referring to see food as well and is seafood protein as good or better than meat

[@sxs357]

I don't know if you'll see this or will respond but I am so frustrated because I'm a bariatric patient and my surgeon and my nutritionist has been telling me and thousands of us for years that we cannot absorb any more than 30 grams of protein per meal. Do you know does this apply to bariatric patients?

Would love to hear your thought on sunscreen (you have made a video before where you said that exposing our selfs to the sun with nothing will be the good thing to do for our health and vitamin D) however, what if we have to spend hours and hours outside !! do you recommend applying it? Also, :( there are many how try to avoid tanning or getting darker under the sun (not cute to have dark face and arms and the rest of your body is way lighter). I get tan even after little exposure so do you have any recommendation on that ? Thank you

[@fearless6947]

if you are on keto or carnovore and fasting, it wouldn't make a difference. All you need is 10 to 15 minutes of sunlight, 3 times a week, any more is a waste. I know Berry and Berg would disagree. There is no studies that show sunscreen causes cancer. Washing up liquid, detergent, plastic from bottled water and teflon non stick pan is bad for you. I still use them. The most important is get your diet on point and you live a long life. The typical diet is 80 percent carbs and trans fat

[@Brownmahfun]

Thank You Dr. Barry. I was sooooooo confused. Could you please tell me tho, how come we smell so bad when we eat meat? Is it the quality or what?

[@TheDylan6908]

Brownsma, I never heard of anyone saying that people smell bad from eating meat. Where did you hear that?

[@Brownmahfun]

@@TheDylan6908 Most of the vegetarians that I know are always telling me how much their body smells have changed. How much better they smell, have to use less deodorant, etc,etc.

My sister had Thyroid cancer and had to have it removed. Now she thinks she can’t lose weight because of that. Please make a video about this topic. She doesn’t think changing her SAD diet to a PHD diet will matter. Thank you in advance!

[@julesz960]

Keto/carnivore works. My thyroid was removed due to cancer as well. My weight was up and down....I was Pre-diabetic in 2016. Started low carb in 2017.....lost 60lbs and no longer prediabetic.

[@1eingram]

When starting carnivore a year ago, my egfr was 38. Now after a year it's 30. All I eat is beef, eggs, and cheese.

[@ceruleanclouds5871]

Thank you .

[@Ladco77]

Good to hear. I've been on a mostly carnivore diet for several weeks now and my last round of bloodwork showed some elevated levels on my liver panel. Good to know it's not related to the diet. And since I've almost completely cut out alcohol, when I go back for a re-test, I'll see if it was that.
