Protein may be the most important and most overlooked nutrient in the food world. We hear that either too much or too little may be harmful. But is it possible that increasing protein intake can be the secret to healthy weight loss? According to Dr. Ted Naiman, the answer is a resounding “yes”!
With the success of his book, The P:E Diet, Dr. Naiman has brought the focus back on protein. He contends that most of us don’t eat enough.
In this conversation, we unpack the science behind protein and satiety, weight loss, muscle and bone health, and longevity. We explore how protein intake may vary with different diets like vegan, keto, carnivore, and Mediterranean. And we talk about how you can safely start to increase your protein intake.
