I haven't either, but it sounds intriguing. I'm interested as well.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Lyon. I am maximizing protein partly because of her findings.
|
I am very confused. When I read hers and Dr. Ben Bikman, I am a complete believer. But then I read a bunch of other great researchers and they say to limit protein until you reach 65 and then up it as Dr. Lyon says. I just don't know what to do to optimize my diet. At least everyone agrees on exercise and ditching highly processed foods...

Same here, chokog. I think you’re referring to Longo on the lower-protein side. I calculated both the lower and higher recommendation for myself based on goal weight and it’s 50-100 carb range. I’m somewhere in the middle of this range, so I guess neither Longo nor Lyon would be happy😏. Honestly, I sometimes just can’t eat more protein. Like today: I entered 4 oz of the pork tenderloin for dinner in the app—that was the plan—then weighed and decided it was too much for how hungry I was. Reduced it to 3 oz.

Of course I meant 50-100g of protein, not carbs!

While I have not read her book, Dr Lyons has great, research based information on diet and longevity. I follow her diet protocol and have had great success.

Will look out for this looks interesting 🤨

I think of her as "the muscle doctor."

I have upped my protein intake and started resistance training based on her recommendations - and others. She trained as a gerontologist, and speaks eloquently on the dangers of losing muscle mass as we age. I'm aiming for improved fitness as I enter my 70's. It's not all about weight loss; we need to guard against muscle loss.

Erika I agree that as we get older weight loss should be less of a focus. It’s about nutrition and exercise.

It will go on my reading list now
|
I will look into this book
|
Following. I just bought the book “Eat to Live” by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. Equally “science-based” but so restrictive. I have been on that eating plan for a week and it is oppressive. The first 6 weeks is no oil, salt, grains, sugar, meat, etc. I find it joyless. I am intrigued by the building muscle concept and will read this book. Thanks for sharing!

Really enjoying all of the comments!!
Thanks!!!
I’ve found this book and Author very interesting and I don’t know if I can keep up on the recommendations of one gram of protein per pound of body weight; (Wow!!) She does explain well how to do that and there are recipes and websites also in the book.
I’m definitely upping my protein !!! Also The addition of amino acids and how they help muscle rebuilding is giving me some extra hope to keep our bodies strong without so much loss of size and strength as We age! I hope many of you read it!! ♥️🤗
Dr Gabrielle Lyon has some pod casts as well if you Google her and you want to see a couple of those before you purchase the book?
Best wishes!!!

@Runs4Fitness The 1g/# is lean body weight or ideal body weight. I am at ~185 but target about 150g of protein a day or 20-50g of protein per meal. This has helped me to maintain my muscle mass as I continue to loose fat. It is a slower process of losing the weight but is more sustainable and better for over all health. It also has helped me to maintain a healthy (sport) metabolism so can weather to occasional "treat" meal.

I bought this book and have been followed by the guidelines. I have been losing weight but more my body has been reconfiguring. I am also experiencing less inflammation. I am able to wear a ring I haven’t been able to put on my finger for years. I’ve tried Noom and other calorie restriction plans and seem to plateau very quickly and it is frustrating. With this approach, I am focusing on building muscle. This helps with my attitude. I do realize I was just not getting enough protein and my macros were off. So happy.
