| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:22.5 | Hey guys, I recently had a question from several people that wanted to know how many grams of |
| 0:26.8 | protein do I need to consume in my diet if I'm on a ketogenic in an Interminate Fasting program, |
| 0:33.7 | okay? Apparently when I told them the ounces that wasn't good enough they want to know in grams, |
| 0:39.2 | so before I get into that let me just kind of explain something. If there's glucose or sugar in |
| 0:45.4 | the diet the body will always go for that first and that's why we want to keep the carbs low |
| 0:51.2 | between 20 and 50 grams or less, okay? So if we keep the carbs low then the body will then |
| 0:59.7 | burn muscle protein unless you're eating enough protein, okay? So we want to have a |
| 1:06.4 | moderate amount of protein because if we don't have enough protein our body will start using |
| 1:10.8 | your own muscle even before the fat. So we need certain amounts of protein. So I'm telling people |
| 1:17.5 | you need between three and six ounces. Now what does that come out to? Well at the very minimum you |
| 1:23.6 | need 0.36 grams to 0.7 grams per your body weight in pounds. Now I'm not giving you the kilograms, |
| 1:34.1 | you can do the conversions talking about pounds, okay? So I'm 180 pounds, okay? So I multiply |
| 1:41.4 | 0.36 times 180 and I get roughly about 65. It might be 64.8 or something like that, okay? |
| 1:49.2 | So that's how many grams of protein I need for the whole day, okay? Minimally. So 0.7 times |
| 1:57.6 | 180 equals 126 grams of protein for the whole day, okay? Now that's if I'm doing like three meals, |
| 2:07.6 | so if I divide this by three each meal would be on the low end it'd be about 21 grams per meal |
| 2:14.8 | of protein. If I'm going in the high end let's say I'm an athlete, I'm younger, a lot of physical |
| 2:22.0 | activity, I'll need a little more protein, I'm stressed, I need more protein, so we divide this by |
| 2:28.1 | three it comes out to 42 grams. Anything more than this though is going to be a problem on the liver |
| 2:34.9 | and the kidney it can actually strain the kidneys and the liver and it can create kidney stones |
