But the process of remodeling is probably beneficial for multiple reasons. So when you eat protein, like we said, synthesis goes up, degradation goes up, right? Because you're stimulating that process. You're stimulating protein turnover. One, that's relatively energetically expensive, all things being equal. So that's where the thermic effect of protein comes from.

Because people say, well, it's the urea cycle and this and that. Most of those ATPs, you get back in different phases of that cycle. Really, in my opinion, the thermic effect of protein is due to that kind of activation of this futile cycle of you're building more protein, but then you're also breaking down more protein. And so part of that is you are remodeling. You are making sure that

That protein is higher quality in that tissue by continuously breaking it down and building it back up. And so I would probably agree with that. And then again, even if you're in a resistance training program where you're not really building much more muscle anymore, the process of remodeling is probably good for you, you know.

And I would just say try to ally some of these concerns from people who are concerned about gaining too much muscle. So I have been lifting really hard consistently for 25 years. I am very comfortable with saying I train harder than almost anybody else you can possibly imagine. And anybody who has trained around me will back that up, back me up in the comments. I train very hard.

And in a shirt, I look like an athletic guy who lifts. I don't look like a monster, you know, like you might see pictures of me when I was a bodybuilding show and like very, very lean. And that looks, you know, over the top. But for the most part, I just look kind of athletic and I spent my entire adult life trying to get too big. Right.

So for most people, unless you're on performance enhancing drugs or you just have incredible genetics, that's not going to happen. And if it starts to happen, just back off on your lifting. Easy fix. So yeah, I think most people's concern with that is a little bit misplaced.

And the other thing I'll tell people is like, hey, some of these fitness, especially for women, a lot of these fitness models you follow, they show you certain workouts they do. They built that physique by lifting weights, right? And you're thinking that's a toned feature. Now, that person is actually pretty muscular, right? And so, again, especially for women, there are exceptions.
