THERE IS A LOT OF HYPE, BUT 00:00:47.348 --> 00:00:48.648 THERE IS A LOT OF HYPE, BUT THERE IS A LOT OF SCIENCE. 00:00:48.650 --> 00:00:51.075 THERE IS A LOT OF SCIENCE. TO DO THE DEEP DIVE, JUST EAT 00:00:51.086 --> 00:00:52.286 TO DO THE DEEP DIVE, JUST EAT MORE PROTEIN IF YOU ARE TRYING 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:53.911 MORE PROTEIN IF YOU ARE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT. 00:00:53.922 --> 00:00:57.415 TO LOSE WEIGHT. IT DOES BURN MORE CALORIES, BUT 00:00:57.426 --> 00:00:58.258 IT DOES BURN MORE CALORIES, BUT RATIOS ARE IMPORTANT. 00:00:58.259 --> 00:00:59.559 RATIOS ARE IMPORTANT. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. 00:00:59.561 --> 00:01:00.985 TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. IMAGINE IF RIGHT NOW YOU ARE 00:01:00.996 --> 00:01:02.896 IMAGINE IF RIGHT NOW YOU ARE GETTING 15 GRAMS OF PROTEIN, 15% 00:01:02.931 --> 00:01:04.889 GETTING 15 GRAMS OF PROTEIN, 15% OF PROTEIN A DAY AND YOU WANT TO 00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:05.999 OF PROTEIN A DAY AND YOU WANT TO DOUBLE THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE 00:01:06.034 --> 00:01:07.391 DOUBLE THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE HEARING JUST EAT MORE PROTEIN. 00:01:07.402 --> 00:01:08.902 HEARING JUST EAT MORE PROTEIN. IT IS FINE TO DOUBLE THAT, LET’S 00:01:08.937 --> 00:01:11.595 IT IS FINE TO DOUBLE THAT, LET’S SAY BRING IT TO 30% OF YOUR 00:01:11.606 --> 00:01:13.741 SAY BRING IT TO 30% OF YOUR DAILY CALORIC INTAKE. 00:01:13.775 --> 00:01:16.343 DAILY CALORIC INTAKE. BUT IF YOU DON’T ADJUST THE 00:01:16.344 --> 00:01:18.178 BUT IF YOU DON’T ADJUST THE CARBS AND FAT AND ADJUST THE 00:01:18.179 --> 00:01:19.336 CARBS AND FAT AND ADJUST THE PROTEIN, YOU WILL WIND UP 00:01:19.347 --> 00:01:19.803 PROTEIN, YOU WILL WIND UP GAINING WEIGHT. 00:01:19.814 --> 00:01:22.816 GAINING WEIGHT. SO IT DEPENDS ON YOUR ACTUAL 00:01:22.851 --> 00:01:25.052 SO IT DEPENDS ON YOUR ACTUAL WEIGHT GOAL. 00:01:25.053 --> 00:01:25.910 WEIGHT GOAL. YOU HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE 00:01:25.921 --> 00:01:28.555 YOU HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE OTHER TWO MACRO NUTRIENTS. 00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:29.413 OTHER TWO MACRO NUTRIENTS. >> ALL RIGHT. 00:01:29.424 --> 00:01:31.759 >> ALL RIGHT. THE AMOUNT OF PROTEIN YOU EAT IS 00:01:31.793 --> 00:01:33.217 THE AMOUNT OF PROTEIN YOU EAT IS THE SAME AMOUNT THAT YOU ABSORB. 00:01:33.228 --> 00:01:33.985 THE SAME AMOUNT THAT YOU ABSORB.
