In reply to Erika. I would love to know where you stand on this too Katie. I thought I finally had my 'health plan' figured out after learning about, and reading up on the Blue Zones and Valter Longo and Stephen Simpson’s research. Then I listened to this podcast and the high-protein concept made sense to me too! It's so overwhelming having all this info out there, it's starting to hurt my head!

In reply to Lily. It doesn't contain a full range of amino acids, so it isn't technically a complete protein source. I split the difference and don't count it toward my protein total but do count the amino acids proline and glycine in it.

I’m curious how much other fruit and vegetables are included it Gabrielle’s diet. Were the protein sources she mentioned in a day ALL she was eating? Or was that along with other fruit and vegetables.

Dr. Lyon stated that collagen powder did not count in regards to protein uptake. Do you agree with her on that and can you elaborate.

Hello,
I just logged Gabrielle’s daily meals into the cronometer. She was vague but I approximated in the best way I could from her description of:
Breakfast: 5 eggs and a little avocado
Lunch: bone marrow
Dinner: ribeye
Additional 5 oz proteins,
Cilantro and cooked vegetables.

Calories: 1545
Proteins: 99g
Carbs: 6g
Fats: 135g
This looks like a ketogenic, nearly carnivore diet.
In the podcast she recommended about 40g of carbs per meal (90-120g daily).

No criticism, just an observation.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts about Valter Longo and Stephen Simpson’s research, which concluded that a high protein diet in middle age actually contributed to shortened longevity and increased disease risk, whereas high protein above the age of 65 had the opposite effect. Here’s just one article on the studies: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/273533#High-protein-diet-had-highest-risk,-except-in-older-adults

I have a question. How old is Gabrielle? Based on her photo, I would guess she’s 50, due to lots of crows feet and a slight fake ‘filler and botox’ look. If she’s much older than 50, then I would say she looks great for her age. But if she’s in her 40’s, then I would say she looks older than her age and I would not be inclined to follow her diet suggestions. So please tell me her age before I spend the time listening to this podcast. Thanks.
