There are peptides I think are just beneficial to take all the time.

like the GLP-1 agonists, right?

Those are probably beneficial for most of us just to be on at a low dose all the time.

I mean, you guys have all heard this, but, you know, it's protein forward, right?

We need so much more protein than we think and that the guidelines say.

And so, you know, you really need at least a gram to a gram and a half of protein per pound of lean body mass.

It's a lot and it's hard to do.

I mean, those of you guys who are trying to eat that much, I weigh about 130 pounds.

Even for me, getting 130 grams of protein in is really not easy.

You have to conscientiously be doing it.

You have to really be thinking about where I'm going to eat all the time.

People tell me they're eating enough protein and I have a food journal for them.

I'm like, you've got 60 grams.

You've got nowhere close to doing that.

And now we're seeing people, you know, as, as, as the, like, I have a lot of people who follow that OMAD one meal a day, right?

Can you truly get all the protein you need in one meal a day?

No.

And it's, it's a little bit problems.

Like you look at someone like me, that's very thin, you know, with even intermittent fasting, you know, uh,

can be a problem sometimes with people losing muscle if you don't have a lot of reserve.
