Dr. Andy Galpin on Protein Intake & Fasting for Muscle Building and Fat Loss

After watching this video, the following Tolkien quote came to mind: “ go not to the elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.“

If i drop my carbs too low or too long, my body systems run at a greatly reduced rate. I'll never be able to exercise at a high level going that route. It will result in a skinny fat weak person. I do eat keto 90% of the time, but I have to recharge with carbs every now and then. To make great progress learn to keto better and load carbs better. The expertise makes the progress and not the further restriction.

Love Keto and it definitely helps with mental clarity!!

Again this video is mostly if not all for men. It's great for them but the audience is bigger than that.

I often struggle to get enough carbs and when I a below 150-200g for long I feel it. Especially now that I’m trying to slowly cut down body fat, but I’m still gaining strength in my work outs so I’m happy enough with that for now haha

"There's clearly no special benefit" is untrue. People tend to say this kind of thing when what they mean is "I've seen no evidence," and it casts doubt on anything else they have to say. There was a study recently where they demonstrated that fatty acids and ketones burn cleaner and that athletes with flexible metabolisms can _supplement_ with carbohydrates to enhance the available fuel in such a way that simply isn't available to them if they train carb-heavy. I don't have the specifics at my fingertips, but Low Carb MD did a whole podcast on it about six months ago. I think it was one of the guys who did the study, but it was definitely someone who works with low carb athletes. Generally speaking, the reason why athletes have issues with low carb is that it takes them basically an offseason to become fat adapted and bring their performance to where it was.

I don't know if you noticed a change in your subscriptions but FYI, Youtube has unsubscribed me from your channel without ever asking me... I only noticed yesterday after a week or so of not receiving any updates from you and thinking it was weird because you trained me to expect a new video every day. I had to resubscribe manually to your channel as if I wasn't already for over 3 years at this point.

This was an amazing and eye-opening interview.

Always enjoy listening to Andy Galpin. Thanks Thomas …great conversation👍
