Q&A: Dr. Greger Talks Protein for Muscle and Surgery, Daily Dozen, and More

[@CristinaAcosta]

Yes! Received your book, How Not to Age”, yesterday (December 5th). This is slow read for me because it’s so packed with information. I’m very excited because I know this will give me more tools to continue with increased health. I’m 64 years old and been vegan for 16 months it’s been a wonderful transformation for me. Thank you so much for all your support. I appreciate so much what you are doing for all of us in this world.

That's great congratulations but how has it been a wonderful transformation what benefits have you experienced so far?

[@CristinaAcosta]

@@oe9276 cholesterol dropped by half to the safe zone (first three months), A1C dropped from pre-diabetes to normal and occasional osteoarthritis pain in hands and feet disappeared. I had a good diet before -7 to 10 fruits and vegetables a day and organic meat. But apparently, for me that was not enough. Giving up dairy and eggs as well as meat seem to be the big change that I needed.

If you want to be “strong and muscular”like Dr Greger, you don’t need protein powder. Unfortunately you’ll need to buy protein powders if you want to grow muscles. If you go WFPB and get enough protein, you’ll eat too much carbs. That will lead to obesity.

I love Dr. Greger but I don’t buy his position on protein and muscle building anymore. I lifted in good faith for 2 years with absolutely minimal progress following a pretty strict WFPB diet with about 60-90 grams of protein a day. I then started adding in a daily vegan protein shake (with no added crap like sugar etc, just pure rice & pea protein) and focusing more on stuff like tofu and seitan and immediately noticed myself finally actually making muscle gains. I don’t really know what to make of it besides thinking that Greger is really overlooking something here.

[@A_A828]

@@MB10097 Ah well that’s fair enough. I am now almost 30. My goal is to first bulk up and build a good amount of muscle & strength (Roughly to the point where I can do multiple sets deadlifting twice my weight, I’m now at about 1,5x bodyweight), and then maintain this as well as I can for as long as possible and start to focus increasingly on mobility exercises. I don’t really want to keep my protein uptake this high my whole life as I understand the effects on IGF-1 and the load on the kidneys it has. But as muscle mass tends to decrease as we get older I figure it is good to build a solid foundation first. I’d like to increase my odds of being 90 and maintaining a little herb garden and being self-sufficient still…

you just dont have the same goal. like he say performance and longevity are counterbalancing each other. if you push to much on perf you lower longevity. also not all amino acid are equal. for muscle growth, leucine is more important no need to increase all of them source : Stuart Phillips, PhD kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGmnhKOFmZWBkMUsi=RWV5ij2ziF7IH2U6&t=2296

So, I appreciate your work a lot and have been a die-hard fan for YEARS. basically since you started your website...Your video's on, avocado's, hibiscus, rooibos, nuts for brown fat... they're too many that are so amazing. They've changed my life forever! But, 0,8 grams of protein won't cut it for an active person. Even an elderly person should get atleast up to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram. Keep in mind, muscles and fat protect the bones in the body, so maintainence, which the 0.8 grams suggests won't cut it for most people. I also feel like you're going into the danger zone since the last couple of month's, especially with the banana study...and don't even get me started on the peanut-butter video from last year. Maybe you've been relying too much on the studies instead of the knowledge you already have, but I feel like you're straying too far from your original product which was already amazing... I'm probably going to get a ton of back-lash for this but it's how I truly feel. You changed my life for the better since, 2014 when I was only 21 years old, and very sick. Especially since your video's gave an easy remedy which was - plants = nutrition and replaces medicine, since you can't patent it or give it a better package then it already has. The human body can be optimised but the moment you start dissecting too far you're going to lose sight of what makes it usefull.

Hi Dr. Gregor, we’re looking at IGF one it is important to look at systemic increases, and short term increase. This I am citing from Dr. Layne Norton. He sells both vegan and non-vegan protein powders. However, if we were to take this argument, you would see weightlifters dying early because of doing higher levels of protein. In fact, when it comes to cancer risk one of the biggest predictors of survival is the level of muscle mass one has.

Specifically, those who ate an average of one egg per day had a 28% lower risk of death from stroke and an 18% lower risk of death from heart disease"... So it all boils down to who you ask, but it is surprising to me that both (who like eggs, or hate eggs) are pointing to the SAME Harvard study.... (or studies?

Proud of you for being vegan for 10 years! What an amazing experience. I have been WFPB for 7 years, myself. How long have you been experiencing gout symptoms?

[@BowenUSA]

There are several gout videos on the nutritionfacts archive. They say alcohol and meat have purines which cause the uric acid. If you don't drink alcohol in addition to no meat, consider your liver health. The liver may be overburdened with toxins and excess adrenaline from chronic stress or adrenaline sports. When the liver is in overload the blood can't get cleaned so well and the waste in that thick blood settles in the joints because they are places with naturally lower circulation. If I were you, I would pick cranberries in this season (cherries when their season hits because they are in the videos), kiwis, asparagus in spring, leafy greens every day, Burdock root (gobo in the Asian store) for a snack that heals the liver. Good luck and feel free to ignore me as I am no doctor and there are no studies to back up my suggestions. Toxicology is well covered in PeterRogersMD here in KZbin.

Blend Dr G and Dt Attia theories and you have a plan. I call it weekend carnivore. Eat plant mostly for 5 days. Eat more protein on weekend. Each day go 100/50. 100 GM protein and 50gm fiber. That way u won’t be a frail geek at 55-85 and you reduce risk of cancer death. You can’t have it all. You have to individualize your goal for you. We all dying. The question is the body you want along the way.

Y’all are taking anti aging advice from this guy?😂😂😂

[@rowanwindsong]

Can you PLEASE PLEASE stop doing that weird vocal fry thing with your voice? No one talks like this. It is SO over affected and unnecessary. We aren't listening to the news. Just use your regular voice. You have great information but I have to get past this chronically sing song fry voice and there is only so much I can listen to before I have to turn it off.
