A: "Ga takut kurang protein lu?" B: "Lu ga terlalu butuh banyak protein loh sebenarnya." Protein sebenarnya kira2 hanya sekitar 10-30% dari total kalori kita.

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Howard Jacobson, PhD all about Staying Motivated In Tough Times. It seems that people are finding it harder to stay motivated to live healthy, stay happy and balance life. Howie talks about connecting motivation to transformation. Wanting to be healthy isn't enough of a motivator for most people to actually reach their goals and and sustain them. We explore different options for higher level motivations, how they work, what they look like in practice, and how we can connect with them and use them. Josh LaJaunie comes up a lot in this podcast as he is a big inspiration for Howard's thoughts on motivation; so if you have not yet listened to PTP105 with Josh LaJaunie, you should consider going back and having a listen to that first.

You can feel young again by making simple changes that work for you.   Howie Jacobson, PhD is co-author of Whole with T. Colin Campbell and Proteinaholic with Dr. Garth Davis. He also knows small changes can have a massive impact.   Howie felt like an old man by the time he was 35. His health was beginning to decline as his blood pressure and cholesterol climbed ever higher.   He felt like a genetic time bomb was about to explode given his family's poor health history. He feared that it could go off at any moment and his time would be up.   Tired of living with a dark cloud hanging overhead, he vowed to change what he could. And that began by overhauling his diet.   The changes not only restored his health but turned back the hands of time and continue to prevent the genetic time bomb from going off.   Howie joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his inspirational long and winding journey to health. Like many of us, there were plenty of stumbles along the way. But in the end he persevered. This is how.   — — — Howie Jacobson Coaching: http://wellstartcoach.com Books: https://amzn.to/3tsXYwn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/askhowie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/plantyourself Website: https://plantyourself.com/ — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — 21-Day Vegan Kickstart App iOS: https://bit.ly/VegKStrt-iOS Android: https://bit.ly/VegKStrtAndrd Web: https://www.pcrm.org/kickstart — — — Barnard Medical Center Appointments https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500

We've all heard the phrase, “You can't change others.

Protein-based diets have been all the rave lately. But are these meat-centered meals beneficial in the long run? Proteinaholic author Dr. Garth Davis' answer to this is NO. He believes that too much protein makes us sick, fat, and tired. In this episode, he joins Sammi and Bre to clarify and debunk these diet claims. Are you a Proteinaholic? Tune in as Dr. Garth Davis explains why this is detrimental to our health and how it prevents us from losing weight.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Howard Jacobson about changing other people and if that is even possible. It is always a hoot with Howie.

We are all recovering from something. Despite popular belief, alcohol and drugs aren’t the only addictions many people struggle with. Addiction can come in many different forms and sometimes that can be in the form of unhealthy eating. Our guest this week is dedicated to helping people learn the right foods and behaviors that can lead to a healthy and happy life.  This week, we are talking with Garth Davis, MD, as we discuss obesity in America and how we can recover from unhealthy eating. Garth Davis, MD, is the medical director of the Davis Clinic at the Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, and starred on the hit TLC show Big Medicine. He is certified by the American Board of Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Fellow of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Dr. Davis also competes in marathons and Ironman triathlons and is the author of The Experts Guide to Weight Loss Surgery and Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession With Meat Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It. In this episode, Garth shares with us how he went from eating chili and eggs every day for breakfast to choosing a vegan lifestyle. We also discuss how the meat industry has drastically changed over the years and why fad diets cause more harm than good in your health journey. However, Garth shows us how we can begin to recover from obesity and unhealthy eating by changing our daily eating habits.  Topics Discussed Recognizing obesity as a disease that you CAN recover from Dangers of eating processed foods (and how to eat clean!)

Misinformation is everywhere and it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to navigate through the sticky web to find the truth that we seek. Moreover, it can be downright frustrating! This leads me to my guest, Dr. Garth Davis, a man that helps all of us circumvent the bad information being shared through numerous outlets with evidence-based science. You may recognize Dr. Davis from the groundbreaking documentary “What the Health”. Or his book “Proteinaholic – How Our Obsession with Meat is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It (http://proteinaholic.com/)” He’s on a mission to help save lives by educating people on the health benefits of living a comprehensive whole food plant-based lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Davis shares with us how he transitioned to a whole food plant-based lifestyle and how that impacted his medical practice and untimely the betterment of his patients. He’s unwavering in his message and as you’ll soon hear – he’s the genuine article! I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Garth Davis in this episode titled “Evidence-Based” Peace Love Plants ~Marco Special Guest: Dr. Garth Davis.

In this episode, we discuss the raging myths around nutrition and health with a brilliant bariatric surgeon, clinician, scientist, and a fierce warrior for the truth, Dr. Garth Davis. He’s the author of Proteinaholic -  a brilliant, fascinating and paradigm-shifting book that explores our false notions about diet, and best of all, presents decades worth of research showing the evidence and broad consensus on nutrition and health. Please join us as we discuss nutrition, public health, the prevailing myths, and the importance of scientific thinking. This is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

Between the latest online fads and the crazy media headlines, it’s easier than ever to get confused about your health. If you want to make better decisions about your health today so you can feel better and live longer, you’ve come to the right place.   Are you having a hard time determining if you have too much or too little protein in your diet? Too much protein means you might be dealing with potential disease risks, while too little protein presents the possible risk of changes to healthspan. Either way, the literature is often confusing and inconclusive and often leaves people with more questions than answers.      I’m joined today by Dr. Garth Davis, a bariatric surgeon, and author of Proteinaholic. Dr. Davis is an active member of the protein-based community and he has joined me to talk about the possible dangers of dietary protein and to share evidence-based truths about protein and how it might be affecting your health. We dive deep into the specifics of meta-analysis and epidemiology, how red meat really affects overall health, and the points of any study that you need to understand before accepting or rejecting its findings. We also take a look at the new lab-grown and plant-based meat movement that is quickly gaining popularity.     Key Takeaways: [1:10] Today’s topic is animal protein — does it really affect your overall health and what are the actual risks of cancer for red meat eaters?  [3:57] Dr. Davis shares a classic example of the disconnect between obesity and protein that he regularly experiences in his work.  [5:47] Challenges that surface when trying to study the effects of protein on cancer, including correlations and meta-analysis in epidemiology.  [11:02] Understanding the protein-inclusive diets of blue zone populations and the misunderstandings that are often associated with mechanisms of action.  [17:12] A strong argument comes from a combination of high mechanistic action, high rates of epidemiological evidence, and meta-analysis, but what comes after that? [22:03] Key points that have to be studied and understood in order to correctly interpret a meta-analysis.   [24:38] The features of red meat, fish, and poultry, and the details of leading healthy diet studies, including the PURE study and the Adventist health study.  [30:20] The overall characteristics of healthy patterned eating behavior often include eating poultry and fish, and Dr. Davis shares an example of the results from various studies and offers his overall advice for a healthier diet plan. [35:47] How diet messages are received by a population is just as important as the details of the diet itself, but too often the public latches onto the wrong details and starts making poor health choices as a result.  [40:12] Dr. Davis offers his viewpoint on veganism, the clean meat movement and how both affect the environment and human health.  [47:50] The increased popularity of plant-based foods just may be proving that meat is in no way good for your heart health.  [52:05] Do you have a topic you’d like me to cover?

Dr. Garth also shares information brought forth by reputable studies showing the dangers of a Keto or Low-Carb diet, and explains how and why they're ineffective over extended periods of time.

Today's podcast episode is a Q&A answering some of the top questions I receive on Instagram. I cover verything from how to eat plantbased without experiencing bloating and ways to see if you might have candida, to my thoughts on protein, how to eat out and stay consistent and endometriosis findings. I also add in some skincare studies because I love skincare and I know you do too! 1. Recommendations for eating PB without getting bloated? Order you eat in Food combining (Cheat Sheet) Eat veggies before meals Candida Issues 2. Tips & tricks for eating out PB? Staying consistent with social settings? My beliefs Easy places to eat PB Research the menu Tips for social settings 3. Do I worry about not getting enough protein? Nope. Recommended amount by the world health organization, about 5% of your daily calories to be from protein. Quote from Dr. Garth Davis, Proteinaholic  4. Do I have any endometriosis cures? study:Nutrition for Endometriosis Women who ate at least 7 servings of red meat per week had twice the risk of end, vs women who ate 3 servings of red meat weekly. Women who ate 13 servings of green vegetables had a 70% lower risk of end compared to those who ate fewer than 6 servings per week.

Yeah, them's fighting words in the title of today's episode. And Garth David, MD, my lead author of Proteinaholic and co-conspirator in a mission to tell the world that chronic disease and obesity are preventable and reversible, is a fighter. He's mixed it up on national TV, giving and taking punches on The Doctors. He's scrapped with Z-Dogg, tussled on Twitter with Joe Rogan, and publicly debated many of the best-known low-carbers out there. His agenda? Good science. The truth, as best as we can know it. And teaching people how to avoid "Internet-borne Misery" by becoming savvy consumers of information.

Episode 88 is here and this week I'm chatting to the host of the Plant Yourself Podcast Howard Jacobson who is also the co-author of so many of my all time, favourite plant-based ‘Bibles' including: Whole, The Low Carb Fraud, Sick To Fit and Proteinaholic! Howard's years of research into the benefits of a plant-based diet have helped him become one of the leading pioneers for the plant-based movement and he continues to educate and share his incredible knowledge with the world through his books, podcast and work as a coach with his organsition, Well Start Health. I hope you enjoy my chat with Howard. :-)

Howard Jacobson, PhD, is Chief of Behavioral Science (aka Chief Habit Nerd) at WellStart Health. He’s the host of the wildly popular (in his home) Plant Yourself Podcast. Howard is co-author, with Josh LaJaunie, of Sick to Fit, and contributing author to T. Colin Campbell, PhD’s WHOLE: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition, and Garth Davis, MD’s Proteinaholic. His work has also been featured in Fast Company and the Harvard Business Review online. Howard is lead instructor at the WellStart Health Coaching Academy, and co-author of the Coaching for Performance chapter of the American Management Association’s Book of Knowledge. In his free time, Howard runs, practices Russian martial arts, gardens, and plays far-too-competitive Ultimate Frisbee. Howard earned his BA from Princeton University, and his MPH and PhD from Temple University. He lives in Pittsboro, North Carolina with his wife, and sometimes with his adult children. (Fly, kids, fly!) Key Points from the Episode with Howard Jacobson: As Howard went through his career, he had a feeling that making money meant he was selling out, so he does a lot of things for free. His podcast, Plant Yourself, has a huge following, and shares the vegan lifestyle with thousands of listeners. WellStart Health - a digital platform and care team to reverse chronic disease. Can you use behavior change to lead to better health outcomes and get people to put those new habits into their lives in a meaningful and sustainable way. Millions of people have tried and failed to do better, and Howard uses a really brilliant analogy to illustrate why. If a six year old who has never played the piano before sat down to play a complex concerto, they will fail. This isn’t surprising. Yet we are essentially doing that with totally different ways to eat where we go in without clear knowledge, guidance or resources and don’t seem to have the same understanding when we struggle. Instead, we go to a place of frustration and a mentality of, “This will never work for me. It’s too hard.” In Western society, we carry trauma and push ourselves to just move on, which really means the trauma stays within us, stuck there. In other cultures throughout time, there were processes to move through trauma, whether ceremonies, rights of passage or forms of therapy so people could truly move on. We don’t do that, and the trauma continues to cost us as time goes on, and it compounds with each successive trauma. Howard has chosen to face his rather than deny them, and that’s part of the work they do at WellStart. Howard went into a podcast episode he did during a water fast he was on, which lead him down a mental path that came from releasing a lot of inhibitions as he faced lots of feelings. The episode went through a lot of thoughts around his father, and losing his father to cancer when Howard was just 24 years old. He said he was really angry about it, which came from losing his dad to what he saw as a disease of ignorance. He realized this after digging into the research when his father was sick to find a way to save his life. What he learned was that there are many diet-based changes that could have prevented and could help fight the cancer. Lacking that knowledge is the driver of this feeling of the loss being unnecessary and due to ignorance. The knowledge was out there, but it was relegated to a very small academic world rather than the norms of the world at large. While he was angry about the loss of his father, he used the time to reflect on who his father was, what he meant to Howard, and the ways his father would have grown and improved as a person had he had the chance to. We have all lost people too soon. We have all seen towering figures shrivel and die unnecessarily, as Howard put it. And it’s been decades since his father died, so we shouldn’t still be able to say that this is still happening from the same ignorance. He would like to see all doctors trained in lifestyle medicine, which, essentially, none of them are today. And the doctors should be upset about this situation. We need to get this knowledge to a place where it’s accessible to all, not just people in the small group who know today, or to those who live with access to the tools you may need, like a Whole Foods store. He asked really pressing questions around the sustainability of what we are doing in healthcare and agriculture/the environment. Things have to change, but will they change because we change them before it's too late or will it change because it comes crashing down and we have no choice.

In the weight loss world, the carbohydrate is Public Enemy #1! But is it possible that we are blaming the wrong macronutrient? Is our beloved protein not as innocent as we hope? Dr. Garth Davis joins the show to discuss how our obsession with protein is the real culprit in America's health crisis. He is the medical director of the Davis Clinic at the Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, and starred on the hit TLC show Big Medicine. He is certified by the American Board of Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a Fellow of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Dr. Davis also competes in marathons and Ironman triathlons and is the author of Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession With Meat Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It.

It’s a controversial theory that’s sending shock waves throughout the medical community. In this interview, Dr. Garth Davis, author of the book “Proteinaholic” argues that our obsession with protein has reached epidemic levels, and could have irreparable consequences for our health. How much meat should we be eating? And what constitutes too much? The surprising research is all revealed here! Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

In episode 38 we look at the history of the protein obsession in this country. How did we get here? Why does everyone ask vegans where they get their protein? Lisa shares a special announcement and tells us about her amazing lasagna and stuffed sweet potatoes. Most of tonight’s research comes from the book Proteinaholic written by Garth Davis. It’s highly recommended if you’re looking to learn more about this topic. Enjoy!

Dr. Garth Davis is a leader in the field of bariatric medicine, He is recognized as a Texas Monthly Super Doc and starred with his father, Dr. Robert Davis, on the hit show docu-reality medical series, BIG MEDICINE. He is the author of the book Proteinaholic and competes in Ironman events.

After our fun, fictional, vegan musings of the magical world last week, the ChickPeeps take a more factual turn with a discussion on health as a vegan, and the common misconceptions society holds of plant-based nutrition. The brilliant Dr.Garth Davis, weight loss surgeon, author of Proteinaholic, and outspoken advocate for plant-based nutrition joins us (8.55 min in) for this episode to debunk the myths and explain to us the science of why our bodies function better without animal products. Also on this episode... Dr.Davis shares how his own health problems caused him to realise that the standard american diet was far from optimal. How Dr.Davis' perspective on health evolved and with it his attitude to diet: 'I just believed we were born with a lemon for a body'...'a flawed entity'. We're not in the food chain anymore.' Is eating too many carbs on a vegan diet cause for concern? 'A steak is not a protein'. Can you call white meat and fish 'clean'? Is cow's milk necessary for strong bones and healthy teeth? Why it's illegal to market eggs as 'healthy'. Complete proteins and how important it is to get the right balance of amino acids. B12; where it comes from and does Dr.Davis take a supplement? Why does soy get such a bad rep? Vegan Blood: 8x more effective at killing prostate cancer cells!

This show was pretty funny, if you ask Shoshana. She laughed out loud listening to it walking around the house with headphones on. Despite the humor we all brought, there are some major learning opportunities and takeaways no matter where you are at in your health journey.

In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Jim Morris Hicks about the 4Leaf Program, achieving vibrant health and sustainability for our planet. Back in 2002, after becoming curious about our “optimal diet,” Jim began to study what we eat from a global perspective and discovered many startling issues and opportunities along the way. In addition to an MBA and a BS in Industrial Engineering, he holds a certificate in plant-based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies, where he has also been a member of the board of directors since 2012. Having concluded that our food choices hold the key to the sustainability of our civilization, he has made this his #1 priority, exploring all avenues for influencing humans everywhere to move back to the natural plant-based diet for our species. Today we talk to Jim about his book The 4Leaf Guide To Vibrant Health, Using The Power Of Food To Heal Ourselves and Our Planet. We discuss how to easily implement the 4leaf guide and the effects a plant-based diet has on our health. We touch on how to get more people understanding the urgency of our planet’s future and how some of the small things we do everyday may not be enough.   In this episode we discuss: Getting into the White House 4leaf Survey 80% WFPB Doctors Heal Thyself, Then Others Sustainability of our ecosystem Who can this planet support and for how long?

While you're at it, support the show, grab a book with Audible, or start shopping at Thrive Market.   Recently the BBC televised the autopsy of an obese woman called Obesity - The Post Mortem. Hope became aware of the obesity autopsy after reading an article claiming it to be fat shaming. Of course we had to take an opportunity to locate and view the autopsy to see how the show presented the data and how the issue of obesity was addressed. We were pleased to see that rather than shaming the person they provided evidence regarding excessive weight gain and internal organs. It was appalling to see how her weight affected nearly all of her organs including her liver and lungs. Dr. Howard Jacobson, who we've had on the show before, and Josh LaJaunie, formerly obese man turned ultra marathon runner, were gracious enough to chat with us about the obesity autopsy. They also discussed taking the steps and overcoming obstacles to get over our own physical hold ups and start hitting the pavement again. It's inspired Hope and I both to jump back on the wagon and we know it will push you to review your physical state and make a change today.

In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Howard Jacobson, PhD. Howard is a health educator, author, and broadcaster from Pittsboro, North Carolina. He is the host of the Plant Yourself Podcast and founder of TribeWell.us. He is a contributing author to Proteinaholic, by Garth Davis, MD, and Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition, by T. Colin Campbell. Howard coaches, consults, and speaks on health and fitness for individuals, families, organizations, and communities. Today we try to hash out the idea of connecting motivation to transformation. That is, being healthy isn’t enough of a motivator for most people to actually reach their goals and stay with it long term. With Howard’s guidance we explore different options for higher level motivations, how they work, what they look like in practice, and how we can connect with them and use them. Josh LaJaunie comes up a lot in this podcast as he is a big inspiration for Howard’s thoughts on motivation. In this episode, we mentioned that Josh would be coming on the show soon, but we decided to get him on before we aired this show so you would have a background story to refer to. So if you have not yet listened to 105 with Josh LaJaunie, you should consider going back and having a listen to that first. This episode with Howard Jacobson will be a two part podcast as the conversation was just too good to cut short.   In this episode we discuss: Vegan vs plant-based Writing with Dr T. Colin Campbell and Dr Garth Davis Motivation The influence of Josh LaJaunie Waiting for tragedy Wanting to do things vs choosing to do them Behavioral economics Pain & pleasure – cost/benefit Pain threshold and instant gratification   Links to things we mentioned: Howard Jacobson’s , , Losing 200lbs & Becoming An Athlete with Josh LaJaunie – Plantpower vs Plantbased – Proteinaholic with Garth Davis – Our Transition To A Plant-Based Lifestyle –   by John Robbins by Bob Nease by Peter Bregman by Marc Schoen and Kristin Loberg by Robert Fritz by Garth Davis M.D. and Howard Jacobson by T.

I have the great pleasure of speaking with Dr. Garth Davis, who is the author of Proteinaholic (available on Amazon) and highly successful bariatric surgeon based out of Texas.

He joins me on this episode to give a very insightful and passionate take on his philosophies for pursuing a plant-based diet for overall health and wellness.

We chatted about what put him on the plant-based path, being an evidence-based consultant, motivating people to take charge of themselves, and the journey to becoming an ultramarathoner. We delve in how our comfort has become our biggest enemy to our health, how to overcome that safe zone by getting your daily dose of vitamin P(ain).

In this episode of “Hey Plant Trainers” we don’t answer a listener’s question, this one’s a little bit different. Adam dives into a really important question that many people don’t seem to think about enough: “do doctors have a purpose?”   Over the past few weeks Adam has been wondering if Doctors do really have a purpose. We know what you’re thinking…of course they do. We agree they do have a purpose, but is it clearly defined? Do doctors really know what they’re doing when a patient walks into their office? Is diagnosing a patient just a guessing game? For some reason doctors are looked up to by almost everyone and it seems that whatever the doctor says, the patient follows. When it comes to nutritional advice…is that ok? Adam gets into this very topic and challenges you to leave your thoughts and comments below in the show notes. So what do you think…do doctors have a purpose?   Links to things we mentioned: Reversing Heart Disease with Dr. Joel Kahn – How Not To Die with Michael Greger M.D. – Proteinaholic with Dr. Garth Davis –   Don’t forget to contact us at  with your question for our “Hey Plant Trainers” segment!                   Do you want to create lifelong healthy eating habits for you or your family?

Vidal speaks about the importance of blood work in determining how much fat you should have in your diet and teaches you how to look at your blood work & know if your LDL is in a good range or not. She speaks of personally your diet according to your state of health according to your blood work and how you can still eat plant based even if you feel you are a person that needs high protein. Lloyd & Deb discuss the dangers of protein that has been scientifically proven and if you doubt it then you should read the book called Proteinaholic by Dr. Garth Davis. At the end of the show Vidal gives a very easy to understand explanation about the function of the liver and WHY it is so important to do a coffee enema in todays world.

We took some time off from the interviews this episode to banter about a few things that got under our skin the past couple of weeks. We discussed an article that lists cheese, eggs, and dairy yogurt as healthy fats, “lab grown”/cultured meat, people spreading bad science online, and more. Things get a bit silly from the start, you’ve been warned. CONTEST WINNER There were quite a few entries into the contest for the signed copy of Proteinaholic by Dr. Garth Davis. We’d like to thank everyone who threw their hat into the ring but there can only be one winner: Brian Burkhart! We’ll be in touch soon to get your info! Don’t worry if you didn’t win, this won’t be the last contest from us. "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."- Mark Twain WATCH OUT FOR LIES The “what grinds our gears” episode started out look at the study posted by a fellow Facebook user. The study, Mortality in vegetarians and comparable nonvegetarians in the United Kingdom, was the focus of a post that started as “Got meat? Or do you avoid it because you think being a vegetarian will increase your life span? A large study found no difference in all cause mortality between them. Rut ro!...” We found this alarming as the study didn’t really say what this person was claiming, the region and sample size was low regarding the claim, and even the conclusion was ignored by the poster. Given that the person hails themselves as a health professional, many would follow his lead without taking time to understand the lack in value of the study and/or his interpretation of the abstract. Once you managed to separate our face from our palms the next article, 10 High-Fat Foods That Are Actually Super Healthy, wasn’t quite as bad since it atleast had some nuggets of truth. What struck us was claiming cheese, eggs, fish, and dairy as “super healthy”. Given what we know about the links in heart disease, cancer, etc. these food are far from “super healthy”. We covered a few alternatives to the healthy claims the article made. However, we point out it’s important to be aware of who writes an article as well as how it’s written. For example, “Cheese, like other high-fat dairy products, also contains powerful fatty acids that have been linked to all sorts of benefits, including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.” is read as one statement that is really a collection of partial truths. However, if you remove the first part you end up with the full truth, “powerful fatty acids that have been linked to all sorts of benefits, including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.” Now, we know none of you eat fast food… right? Ok, good. As we dove into a level of absurdity, you may have heard about Chick-fil-a stating, in regards to a healthy diet:   “...Eat smaller meals (like our 8-count pack of grilled nuggets) every three to four hours” Not to mention this would cost a person $700 a month, it would also give you (per serving): 3g of fat (1g saturated) 70mg of cholesterol 0g of fiber 23g of protein (listen to our interview with Dr. Davis to hear about protein) 530mg of sodium They claim health benefits because of the low calories. However, as we’ve said before, on a whole foods plant based diet calories aren’t an issue. Sounds like a better and healthier plan that 8 chicken nuggets every 3 to 4 hours. Digging out of a grease filled bag we talked about a recent hot topic, being cultured or “lab grown” meat. If a few of the social media groups this has come up as either a “would you” or “is this vegan”. Given that the product is still meat we know the negative baggage that comes along with animal products. One argument is this would be less damaging to the environment since it wouldn’t require livestock. This topic did spark some debate between Hope and David about if the effort is well spent. Hope feels like is a valuable stepping stone to reduce/end a large portion of animal cruelty and possible turning more to a plant based diet. However, David feels the time and money spent could go toward a vegetable replacement and ending the cruelty altogether. We’d like to know your thoughts on this one.

Your hosts at Curiously Veg Radio got a chance to talk with Dr. Garth Davis about his ground-breaking new book, Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession With Meat Is Killing Us And What We Can Do About It. We spoke about the role nutrition plays in a healthy lifestyle, evaluating research, and his own experience with changing his perspective on health and weight loss. Why in the heck do we focus so much on protein? Won’t I get a protein deficiency if I don’t eat meat? What about gains tho?  Shouldn’t we buy foods that contains lots of protein? It’s carbs that make us fat, right? Butter is healthy because Time Magazine said so, and aren’t they experts? We have all asked these questions when deciding how to eat to be healthy and build muscle. It’s confusing and there seems to be a new study or article out everyday that tells us what is the best way to eat, so how in the world can someone tell what is correct and what is profit-driven sensationalism? You can start with Dr. Davis, because he will open your eyes to what’s really going on and gives key advice on what is a healthy lifestyle. In his book, Dr. Davis takes you on his personal journey of the physician becoming the patient - physician heal thyself if you will. He compiles all he learned, research, and findings in a guide that illustrates why we are sick and becoming fatter every year.  It is an easy to understand synopsis of what is really going on with our health and how we can take control back. The bonus material offered on Proteinaholic.com is a valuable resource for starting a healthy lifestyle. Both your hosts wishes that the guides and recipes had been around when they started their plant-based journey! Dr. Davis said it best with “For doctors to fail to inform patients of the gentlest, safest, most beneficial action they can take to protect their own health is nothing more than criminal negligence.” So, hunker down and get ready for an awesome interview! Dr. Garth Davis is a fully recovered proteinaholic, Ironman, currently the medical director of the Davis Clinic at the Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, and starred on the hit TLC show Big Medicine.Tid Bits:Hope wanted to clarify ketosis because she felt that she didn’t explain it well enough. Ketones are substances that are made when the body breaks down fat for energy when there isn’t adequate carbohydrates available to equip the body with glucose for energy or if your body can't use glucose (or blood sugar) properly. The body becomes acidic (acidosis) which promotes inflammation. Yes, you will lose weight initially, but it is not sustainable and can cause serious health issues.
