| 0:00.0 | Power project family, this is a power bite and the power bite is a highlight from a full length |
| 0:03.8 | episode that we do not want you to miss. Links to the full episode are in the podcast show notes |
| 0:08.6 | along with special perks for all of our beautiful listeners. Enjoy and also how about protein |
| 0:14.4 | overfeeding, you know, they're the individuals that they choose to eat two grams of protein per |
| 0:19.4 | pound or two point five grams per pound. So is there, are there any massive negatives to protein |
| 0:25.1 | overfeeding or some of the general population, but then also someone in athletics, bodybuilding, |
| 0:30.8 | powerlifting, etc. Any dangers? In a word, not really. In a word, not really, no. |
| 0:41.9 | You can build a case for somebody who has chronic or acute kidney disease. You can build a case |
| 0:48.9 | for that person restricting their protein to the RDA. But, you know, aside from clinical, it's |
| 0:55.7 | almost like with carbohydrate. Can we really over carbohydrate ourselves if we stick within the calories? |
| 1:02.9 | Can we really overfat ourselves? Well, why would it be so special with protein? Because of the |
| 1:08.5 | policing of the kidneys, because of this to that. We just haven't seen that in controlled interventions |
| 1:16.7 | actually. And my friend, Joey Antonio, is responsible for a lot of the findings in that area, |
| 1:26.0 | where he puts subjects through these rather massive amounts of protein over extended periods |
| 1:32.6 | at time, anywhere from gosh, the mid-toes to the high three grams per kilogram of body weight. |
| 1:42.4 | Even up to one of almost 4.4, I believe, grams per kilogram of body weight. And no ill effects, |
| 1:50.4 | no ill effects on any of the blood parameters that would send up red flags about liver and kidney |
| 1:58.0 | dysfunction, no red flags about bone mineral density. Our body apparently is perfectly adept |
| 2:07.2 | at metabolizing high amounts of protein, you know, believe it or not. And so the interesting thing |
| 2:15.0 | about protein overfeeding in free living conditions is that it seems to disappear into thin air. |
| 2:22.8 | So if you take a group of resistance trainees, add four to 800 calories of protein on top. |
| 2:29.8 | And Joey actually utilized quite a bit of protein powder to the so-and-so weight protein. And |
