Is Eating Meat Bad For You? | Dr Peter Attia

no

I think meat should be avoided if you have very high LDL..even chicken breast has surprisingly high cholesterol. There's no way around it

Hit the gym doc.. You don't need to Restrict your calories...

Misleading header: "Is Eating Meat Bad for Your Health?". (Bait and switch)

Intermittent fasting is probably the most overrated and dangerous pop culture diet today.
One of the primary things clinical psychologist will do is ask their patients suffering from anxiety and depression is, what are you eating in the morning? If the answer is nothing, that's likely directly contributing to high levels of anxiety and depression.
In addition, Dr Matthew Walker showed how dangerous and stupid fasting is for your sleep. According to Matt Walker, Peter attia, and Andrew huberman, sleep is one of the most important things to your brain and body health, period.
Sabotage your sleep and you are sabotaging a health parameter that is more important than 90% of all other parameters

did he even answer the question about red meat?

Do you not get around the gluconeogenesis problem by consuming enough fat with your protein to keep the body in ketosis? It's why fatty meat or added butter on your steak won't elevate your blood sugar like an equivalent amount of steamed chicken breast will, no? If your body has a steady preferential energy source, at least once you're fat adapted, then a moderate serving of protein (in fatty meat) won't see the protein wasted as an energy source, surely.

The more I hear of this the more I realize that living as a hunter gatherer in Africa was possibly the best way to live.. in terms of healthcare lifestyle

I reversed multiple health niggles on the carnivore diet.

Autophagy: Am I a joke to you?

3 Minute Summary - Powered by Subsip:

1. Chronic Activation of the mTOR Pathway:
- Understanding the difference between chronic and acute activation of the mTOR pathway.
- Recognizing the importance of mTOR for anabolic state and muscle growth.
- Differentiating between metabolically ill individuals with chronically elevated mTOR levels and healthy individuals.

2. Tissue Specificity of mTOR Activation:
- The challenge of measuring mTOR activity in humans compared to mice.
- Lack of a tool to measure mTOR activity in humans.
- The need for an mTOR integrator to measure mTOR activity in different tissues.

3. Protein Consumption and mTOR Activation:
- Consumption of 3-4 servings of 25-50 grams of protein per day does not necessarily lead to continuous elevation of mTOR.
- Amino acid levels in circulation decrease during periods without eating.
- The importance of spreading protein consumption throughout the day.

4. Approach to Intermittent Fasting:
- Different strategies to reduce caloric intake: calorie restriction, dietary restriction, and time restriction.
- Time-restricted feeding has no additional benefits beyond caloric restriction.
- Difficulty in maintaining muscle mass with time-restricted feeding due to reduced protein intake.

5. Optimal Protein Serving Size:
- The sweet spot for protein serving size is generally 25-50 grams.
- Consuming too little protein (10-20 grams) may result in the liver using it as glucose.
- Consuming too much protein (50+ grams) may lead to the liver converting the excess into glucose.

6. Recommendations for Time-Restricted Feeding:
- Emphasizing that the main focus is on calorie intake.
- Suggesting a low-calorie protein shake in the morning to ensure adequate protein consumption.
- Highlighting the importance of timing amino acids close to training sessions to prevent muscle loss.

7. Benefits and Challenges of Time-Restricted Feeding:
- Acknowledging that time-restricted feeding is the easiest strategy to follow.
- Noting the potential muscle loss when exercise is done in the morning, but the feeding window is in the evening.
- Providing guidance to restore amino acids in proximity to training sessions.

8. Element Electrolyte Hydration Drink:
- Recommending Element as a science-backed electrolyte drink to reduce muscle cramps and fatigue.
- Highlighting the benefits of Element in regulating appetite and optimizing brain health.
- Mentioning the no-risk refund policy and offering a free sample pack for first-time users.

No Autophagy benefit from IF?

Cool

It is not so much about meat as such but processed meat. It is not so much about meat as such but too much red meat.

While correlation does not mean causation, it is very telling that MOST people who live the longest healthiest lives eat much less meat, and in general much lesser calories than others.

Both extremes ought to be avoided: the carnivore diet on one end and the vegan on the other.

hoa about insulin spikes?

Can I add amino acids on top of that?
Anyone knows?

This makes me want to cook a big tomahawk steak

This guy is complete BS, his justification for loss of muscle on IF is because of less protein, wtf that's not a causation for IF muscle loss, that's a diet issue

What gut health colon health?

But when you IF, you aren’t spiking your insulin levels 20 times a day.

Yes. Animal products increase mortality and disease.

All this makes sense

Fasting has so many benefits. Just think this guy is wrong for many reasons.

You have to have money to follow this guideline or equation for healthy living.

What about autophagy?

Might be a good idea to get Brad Schoenfeld on here for a similar topic discussion. Specifically surrounding MPS and the time gap post-exercise to ingest an optimal amount of protein (25-50g?)

My money is on David Sinclair. The man that has aged backwards from 10 years ago❤

I'm very interested in what was said about protein utilization when there is too little or too much. Though, while performing my own research, I'm not finding sources associated with what was said?

Not much to do about eating meat😮

Eating beef is the most based realization in diet and health in modern history. Considering we know how incredibly healthy fasting is, it mimics the same metabolic state as ketosis, which is why staying in ketosis through eating beef is also breaking everything we thought we understood about health and human diets.

Meat, eggs, and liver are the best thing for you. Sugar is the worst.

Hmm, I didn't hear him actually answer the meat question...

Not sure why he's saying that the only benefit to TRF / IF is CR. I think it also controls blood glucose better and forestalls insulin resistance. The problem is that it's a hard way to eat long term.

Wanna b lean? Eat not as much and do cardio. Wanna be muscular eat good protein and lift weights. Very easy

Great discussion! I found that calorie restriction throughout the day is far easier to maintain muscle mass while still becoming leaner over the months.

This is bullshit what he is saying, first he had 3 days fasts , 7 days fasts because of the data , and now he is saying there is no data first who will do IF if there is no Data in the first place,. I want to do IF because of the scientific Data, and there are saying there is no Data, , get your Shit together Doctors,.. all of them,..

summary?

If eating meat is bad and eating fruit is healthy then...

There would be none old people in Tibet and Mongolia.
And the fruit activist would live to granny age

Rare L

Ben Bikman (professor of bio-energetics at BYU) will tell you that m-tor is mediated by consistently elevated glucose / insulin levels...keep glucose down, then no problem. Of course, David Sinclair never seems to mention this fact in his explanations of m-tor activity.

I just looked at the electrolyte product you recommend. 4% (200 mg) potassium? You're better off eating a banana.

Yes, if you’re the meat being eaten. 🤮

eating a bigass baked turkey leg with some Spanish rice and mixed veggies

Curious as to why he believes there’s no benefit to IF over caloric restriction? Is this just in relation to muscle mass? Bc, numerous studies prove the benefits of IF - autophagy, apoptosis, insulin sensitivity just to name a few.

Lossing hair as you getting old

Mitochondrial uncoupling is a benefit?

I listen/read quite a bit to Peter, but also Christopher Gardner and Gil Carvalho for example. They are pushing up green, and meat down. They seem to have a fundamental difference in protein requirements and cardiovascular health. I mean, you look at this and it is huge, yet they have no misinformation on their channels. I wish we could see Dan Laymen and Christopher Gardner debate protein and Peter and Gil Carvalho (or someone else) debate. Just for public information more than blue state / red state camp thinking.

He's misusing mathematical terms to try and sound smart...

Hey doc
Is eating red meat a know carcinogen bad for health ?
