The discussion over what aspect of our diet has been driving the escalation of metabolic disease over the last 100 years has been a confusing one full of contradictory information. It would be logical to look for a change in our diet associated with such a dramatic change in the health of a population There are both correlated evidence and dietary trials to support the theory that the increase in linoleic acid, provided by the introduction of PUFA processed oils into our diet, is the driver.

More Episodes

If you have listened to Hunger Hunt Feast for a while now, you know that you should have protein at every meal, but how much should you be absorbing? 

In today's episode, Zane will answer this question and more!

 

QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:

The liver replaces its glycogen through 2 ways: Carbs that have been digested or Gluconeogenesis

Gluconeogenesis: Break down of protein into glucose

Insulin goes up to handle increased blood sugar every time you eat
Elevated insulin levels keep your body from burning fat
Insulin can remain elevated 2-4 hours after a meal or snack
Fewer meals allows for more opportunity for normal blood sugar levels and fat burning.

Increase protein consumption to offset a low carb diet so less protein from muscle is used for energy production.

The body recycles at least 250g of protein each day- Protein Turnover
Recycles damaged or oxidized amino acids. New protein allows the body to dispose of damaged amino acids

Studies show there does NOT seem to be an upper limit to how much protein can be eaten at one time in terms of absorption and being delivered to the bloodstream and available for tissues.

Excess protein does NOT come out in the feces.

Whole-body net protein balance is improved with greater protein intake.
Reduced protein breakdown.
Bone health is also improved with increased protein intake.

Recommendation: if fat burning is your goal, reduce meals to 1-3 a day, no snacking. Prioritize protein to 30-50g per meal depending on your weight.
