Such key info for me Craig! 69yr old female. Metabolically OK. Fasting with electrolytes 36hr, 1x wk, for 0 stage CLL, was a big challenge! Lowering it to 24hr will be much more manageable & hopefully will not affect muscle mass. (Always end my fasts with PROTEIN!) Thanks to you and Maria!!!

Tried to do one meal a day & I was over stuffing myself (with meat only) which screwed with my blood glucose which screwed with my kidneys. As soon as I began eating smaller meals to match my basal insulin my eGFR went from 52.7 to 61.0. As Dr Bernstein says, over stuffing yourself even with zero carbs will increase your glucose levels. I’ll stick to my 3 to 4 smaller “meals” a day.

It depends on what your choice of protein is. Half a pound of a ground beef( for example) will give you more then 100gr of protein. We are talking about two small (4oz) burgers or one big (8 -10oz). Anyone can do that, in one meal. Or have two smaller meals, 4 hours apart. Some eggs and cheese in one. A 4oz burger in the other. ... with some veggies, instead of bread.

@@TheVafa95 Because the data on protein intake average for older adults isn't based on weak epidemiology data. It's based on lots of datasets. This data is not from food frequency questionnaires that are fraught with error.

Most Indians are actually vegetarian not vegan. The problem with being vegan is the excessive free oil consumption. It’s also a problem with vegetarian diets currently. I would also question the need to eat meat itself particularly in the quantities people seem to enjoy. Intermittent fasting and eating a starch based diet does seem to get people back to health. Perhaps maintaining that health is different.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Anyone who transitions from the Standard American Diet to a whole food based approach is going to see improvement. We certainly won't argue that. But, the proof is in the pudding (my hard boiled egg pudding--haha see what I did there? 🤪). Animal based, especially beef, is by far the most nutrient dense and bioavailable food for human consumption, which is why we are seeing so many clients thrive on our approach.

🧈 coffee 😂

[@denisea.9033]

@Yahuahwinsyeah, I don’t put whole sticks of butter in my coffee, but if I’m out of cream, I will put 1-2 tbsp of butter in there.

[@jakobw135]

Why don't you interview Dr Joel Khan, who has been vegan since he was about 18 and now, he is in his sixties I believe - apparently totally healthy?

[@MariaEmmerich]

He takes a LOT of supplements and protein powders. But I wouldn't call that the healthiest way to live. And if he did before after body composition photos I would bet he has lost a fair amount of muscle.

OMAD + CARNIVORE = ANCESTRAL =OPTIMAL

[@MariaEmmerich]

No, there is no need for OMAD and most women will lose muscle over time eating that way. Not ideal.

[@rockpoppets6182]

Please supply evidence for this

[@MariaEmmerich]

It happened to me and I have seen it with tons of clients. Most women doing OMAD don't get enough protein.

[@peterwilson1038]

@MariaEmmerich that's because they are brainwashed into thinking they need to eat fruit and vegetables and whole grains and fiber everyday in order to be healthy. I'm not surprised that there is not much room left for protein. The amount of carbohydrate ( from any source ) a human needs to consume in order to achieve optimal health is exactly zero grams.

[@peterwilson1038]

@MariaEmmerich obviously weather or not you lose muscle over time on OMAD ,depends on what that OMAD consists of. And you are correct, there is no need for OMAD. Unless, of course , you want to optimise longevity.

"putting butter in coffee is dumbest thing I ever heard of". Making such a statement is not very scientific.

[@craigemmerich]

If you understand how energy metabolism works, and where the vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids come from, it is quite scientific. You are drinking pure energy with hardly and vitamins and minerals, which is terrible for fat loss.

[@Raxados]

@@craigemmerich Butter contains many unique nutrients that are essential for cardiovascular and gut health. Vitamin A, K2, D3, E CLA Stearic acid Butyrate

[@MariaEmmerich]

None of those things come close to the amounts in beef or eggs. It has very little vitamins and minerals and is mostly just energy. Please see the chart here: mariamindbodyhealth.com/when-keto-can-be-dangerous/

[@craigemmerich]

@@Raxados the last three things you listed are fatty acids or fat. See the chart in the post Maria posted. I could separate out all the amino acids (leucine, methionine, etc.) and show them all being higher too instead of just listing protein amounts. But they still are not vitamins and minerals. Oh, and the chart at the link also shows eggs and beef are higher in A, D3 and E too.

[@gandhi9936]

Hundreds of millions of people in India are vegetarian. My grandma lived to the age of 93. There are plenty of non-carnivore sources of protein.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Yes there are. But they are not NEARLY as bioavailable as meat. But, anyone transitioning from a Standard American Diet to eating a whole food diet is going to see improvements :)

[@craigemmerich]

Yes, and India leads the world in Diabetes. 80 million people with diabetes in India.

[@Indieauguste]

My grandma lived to 94 years.

[@craigemmerich]

@@Indieauguste good for her. But that means nothing in this context. George Burns smoked every day and loved to 100. But that wasn’t typical. Genetics always play a role in individual cases so that’s why population data is important.

What was her quality of life in terms of mobility and her work at that age?@@Indieauguste

[@weshareto]

Please tell us how do you get 45 g of protein for breakfast? Please list what you eat because if you eat 1 egg it's 6 g of protein on1 egg, so thank everybody how many eggs does he have to eat to get 45 g of protein so let's say he's only eating four eggs what else is he eating to get the rest of the protein can you list that off for us mr doctor.. And please list us off what are you eating for dinner to get 55 g of protein nobody is getting enough protein it's all a lie people are lucky if they get 25 g of protein a day what? Let's all f****** read this again together

[@MariaEmmerich]

Eggs aren't the BEST source of protein, but they are good. I am easily able to reach 45+g of protein in my first meal with a filet mignon (35g protein per 4oz) and a few shrimp or scallops (26g and 23g per 4oz respectively). If you prioritize lean animal protein it is quite easy to do :)

[@julieg.5718]

This morning I reheated 4oz. Of our slow cooker Chuck roast leftovers from last night and added 2 oz strip of (delicious!) oven-baked pork belly. Since twice-watching this (fantastic!) interview of Craig w/Dr. Layman, I’ve stopped my 18:6 intermittent fasting in skipping breakfast and now front load my day with minimum 35 G protein by 7am. I’m 62-days into carnivore diet, 60 years old post menopausal and my energy, focus and mood each day is unbelievably good!!

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Thanks for this.
