And she just was really consistent with her training and nutrition.

Yeah.

So it takes years.

It really takes years.

People want things to happen in weeks or months, but the best transformations you see, it's years.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's kind of a recent thing where the protein hype and craze is getting some backlash from people who just swung the pendulum back the other way and saying, oh yeah, too much protein is dangerous and all of this stuff.

And not only that, you're not going to get any benefits of eating protein beyond 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight.

Oh man, that's frustrating because people don't look at the nuance and the detail there.

There's a lot of data showing that you can get body composition benefits from protein above and beyond 1.6 grams per kilo of body weight.

And there's some great data showing that you can get body composition improvements from protein intakes, even a gram per pound and beyond.

So 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight and beyond.

And the benefits of these very high protein intakes mainly have to do with less of muscle gain but more of fat loss and controlling fat gain.

And even a phenomenon called recomposition where you gain some lean body mass and lose some fat mass simultaneously.

And that's kind of a glorious thing when we see it happen consistently as a result of increasing protein intake.

And in some cases, on top of existing habitual diets, which is a really, really interesting phenomenon.

So to say that, oh, you don't need any more protein than 1.6 grams per kilo of body weight, that's just getting...

really refuted by just multiple lines of evidence.

And so I think that when people ask the protein question, how much do you need per day?
