3:38 Insulin and too much protein
4:22 Protein and sugar
In this video, we’re going to talk about how much protein you really need. Most people think that the formula for how much protein you need each day is 0.8 grams of protein (x) your body weight. In reality, that's about double what you actually need!
You really only need to eat 0.4 grams of protein (x) your body weight. On average, that translates to about 25-35 grams of protein each meal. Generally speaking, any more protein than that will turn into sugar.
There are certain variables that make people more or less tolerant to extra protein in the diet. People who are younger, exercise frequently, or have higher stress levels, tend to tolerate more protein. On the other hand, people with low stomach acid have difficulty digesting protein.
Too much protein affects sleep quality because of the phosphorus in protein. Phosphorus is a stimulant. You can counteract the phosphorus from a high protein diet by eating plenty of vegetables to ensure that your calcium and magnesium intake is also high.
Too much protein can raise insulin and cause you to gain weight. Contrary to popular belief, the leaner the protein, the more it spikes insulin. The combination of sugar and protein causes an even greater spike in insulin.
