You're going to lose so many on that kind of a diet. And you just think about like weight recidivism and the people who are probably going to struggle with this. And now you're at a place with lower lean mass and you still have trouble with these things and you're still working on being taught the right things to eat.

So to me, that was a fabulous study that really showed the powerful impact that resistance training with protein can have.

Yeah, I think if you skip that part, of a weight maintenance or even a weight loss program, it's just not setting you up for the ideal outcomes long-term. But it is hard because you do, like if you're going out for a walk or a jog or a bike, like you sweat and then you feel like maybe you're doing more work. And so then you get in your mind about, maybe this is better for me for my goals.

And it's hard. I think you have to be disciplined in many ways, but to follow a program where you're training and maybe not as sweaty as you might be, from doing a run or even a walk outside or something. So yeah, I feel like in our environment now, we need to be probably medically prescribing resistance training at the root of all this. And that's just not happening yet in most places.

I know some folks are, but I think that's the next step that's going to have to be taken.

No, definitely not. Yeah. That when you're under a certain threshold.

Yeah. For protein requirements, you're going to be, you just have so many wins to catch by getting up to a number that's north of 1.1, 1.2. And honestly, that's really hard for some folks. So we have to be easy on ourselves if you fall in that category, like really work at trying to fit these foods into your daily practice. And I get it.

If you're busy, you got kids, you got jobs, you got things to going on like that takes some planning. And that's a little bit of a headache at first, but it's worth it. Like I'd say the juice is worth the squeeze because the outcomes are just really, really nice. I mean, we've done so many studies in my lab where

in collaboration a lot with Paul Arciero, who's done a ton of this kind of work, we've shown time and time again that the higher protein loads help a lot with all of these goals we're talking about, particularly weight management on that side of it. I mean, Stefan Pasiokas did a study years ago that was the RDA 0.8 or double at 1.6 or triple.

I mean, Stefan Pasiokas did a study years ago that was the RDA 0.8 or double at 1.6 or triple.

And so when they did that, what was really nice to see was that double was far better for the outcomes that they were looking at in that paper, but three times was not. And they landed on double, which is 1.6. And so that's kind of where we're landing with this. We've done work in our space where we did 40% of the diet as protein, and then we've done –
