Right now, two out of three of us are overweight or obese.

We, you know, less than 1% or 10% are metabolically healthy,

one out of five of our children.

So what happens when we take meat out

is a lot of times we take protein out and there's something called

the protein leverage hypothesis and it's essentially saying that we will overeat

unless we get the amount of amino acids that we're looking for.

So we're not only just looking for nutrients,

amino acids specifically seem to shut off our appetite,

reduce cravings, improve our ability to burn calories

and improve body composition.

So I just think it's really dangerous for us to take out. burn calories and improve body composition.

So I just think it's really dangerous for us to take out the best quality sources of

protein that we're having and I think people are eating too little protein a lot of times

anyway right now and so removing meat the highest quality protein

source because it has all of the available amino acids and it's highly bioavailable

meaning your body can use it very easily. I think that's you know one of the best

levers you could pull is just

increasing the percentage of really high quality protein in your diet in order to

restore metabolic health.
