I tried to smoke weed instead of drink to cut some body fat but I just got the munchies.

Can we talk about the keto diet?

I am so grateful that I don’t get the munchies like I did as a teen and 20-something. My above post would be a sham lol
Agreed on your overall post. Muscle health should be prioritized at the same level that we care for our heart, brain, teeth, bones etc
Didn't I say 56 or 60 in my original post?
Just letting you know, I didn't ghost, and I did read a bunch of peer-reviewed papers. What's interesting is the ranges of recommended protein intakes. As best as I can tell the recommendation for "regular" folk is like 0.8-1.0g/kg and something like twice that for people undergoing regimented resistance training aimed at building muscle, AND for older people who are probably at risk of losing muscle mass.
I'm not sure where that would put most surfers.
How much protein can the body use in a single meal for muscle-building? Implications for daily protein distribution
Controversy exists about the maximum amount of protein that can be utilized for lean tissue-building purposes in a single meal for those involved in regimented resistance training. It has been proposed that muscle protein synthesis is maximized in young ...

Dietary protein for athletes: from requirements to optimum adaptation - PubMed
Opinion on the role of protein in promoting athletic performance is divided along the lines of how much aerobic-based versus resistance-based activity the athlete undertakes. Athletes seeking to gain muscle mass and strength are likely to consume higher amounts of dietary protein than their...

Protein for Life: Review of Optimal Protein Intake, Sustainable Dietary Sources and the Effect on Appetite in Ageing Adults
With an ageing population, dietary approaches to promote health and independence later in life are needed. In part, this can be achieved by maintaining muscle mass and strength as people age. New evidence suggests that current dietary recommendations ...

This one is surprising, but also beware sample size:
Effect of Protein Intake on Strength, Body Composition and Endocrine Changes in Strength/Power Athletes
Comparison of protein intakes on strength, body composition and hormonal changes were examined in 23 experienced collegiate strength/power athletes participating in a 12-week resistance training program. Subjects were stratified into three groups depending ...

Yes, which is low for many adults and based on RDAs. The NPR/BBC/NYT articles you linked were still using that outdated number as the context for their articles. Even with that, the NPR article listed a study with improved outcomes from people who bumped that up to 90 grams/day, which may be sufficient for small-to-average sized adults with low activity levels.
IMO anyone who does any sort of activity or exercise on a regular basis, especially if that results in muscle soreness, needs closer to +1.5 g/kg. Most of the studies you linked cited similar numbers. Even with your last link, that treatment with the lower protein amount was still in the 1-1.4 g/kg range, which is going to be greater than 60 grams for most adult males.
Yeah, you were right, and that's what I learned from reading these articles. It definitely seems more beneficial to be on the higher (1.2-1.6) at least if you're putting your body through some stress.
Thanks for posting those links, it led me down a very interesting rabbit hole of reading published work on the topic, learning some interesting stuff on the way.
Are you stress eating due to the home repair work?
Or, the project is done and you can't stop celebrating?
Project nearly done - no need to get officials involved, so that’s pretty good
And I just like being a little high

I can say from my own experience that you can achieve great results on a keto diet. Roughly speaking, you lose weight right before your eyes. Although I was against such a diet before, I strongly denied the positive aspects of the keto diet, but my sister convinced me. She told me how thanks to the Keto diet plan for fast weight loss, she lost 8 kg in 2 months, then I decided to reconsider my views on this diet. After this situation, I made two conclusions, the first is that the keto diet is the most effective diet for weight loss, and the second is that sometimes you need to go over your principles.

I'm 3 weeks in on a keto diet. Lost one chin.
No gluten either. Only 2 glasses of wine in 3 weeks. I've had some vodka sodas with lime but not drinking every day. I am sleeping so much better without sugar. Unbelievable.
Had very little power saturday in overhead surf. Feeling sluggish out there. Ate some rice Saturday night and Sunday still overhead and I felt good. Note to self. Eat some carbs the night before a surf.
