(2:30) Vinnie asks Ted his thoughts on protein and when to best eat it. They discuss protein absorption and eating windows, and how much the average person needs. Ted recommends what he calls "bookending" and gives an example. Neither recommends one meal a day (OMAD); Vinnie believes that people try to use OMAD as a form of diet trickery. (7:00) The two discuss protein powders and the differences between various types. They agree—food should always be first. Powders are only a supplement and shouldn't replace real meals. BCAAs (brand chain amino acids) are kind of pointless and more expensive. (14:00) They discuss other proteins for vegans—are they bastardized and inferior? Can they provide enough protein? (15:50) They also discuss HMB supplementation (beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate). (18:20) It's what your body creates when it breaks down leucine. This leads to a discussion about creatine as well. Vinnie asks Ted if there is any other supplementation that may be necessary. (21:00) THE IMPORTANCE OF MOVEMENT Vinnie and Ted discuss resistance training like bodyweight exercises. (26:00) Jerry Teixeira also shows people how to build muscle by using bodyweight exercises. Ted explains what he does that keeps him as fit as he is. Vinnie discusses workouts recommended by Fred Hahn and Dr. Ben Bocchicchio, which are one set of weights to failure. (28:00) You can get a great workout done in under 30 minutes! They discuss sarcopenia and how necessary it is to offset it by eating high-quality protein and doing weight-bearing exercises. (38:30) Even walking is a good place to start—anything where you actually bear your body's weight on the ground is good. They talk about how you can progress as a beginner. Sitting all the time is dying—movement is essential for longevity! You can find Dr. Ted Naiman on Instagram and Twitter at @tednaiman and at Diet Doctor.
