He has an interesting spin. I mean he uses animals to tell part of his yarn saying that they got big and didn't need protein shakes. The missing link is that the reason we have an increased amount of protein is because we punish our body's and it helps with our growth and repair... Don't think i have ever seen animals weight train, hence the fact they don't need an increase in protein intake. Not to mention they have a adapted to eating what they eat over a long period of time.

I could be wrong but i thing perhaps that is targeted at people that don't lift weights and are going along with a "it's cool to eat protein" fad...

May be true for the general public, all the people getting little to no activity.

But there's a big difference in 'not being protein deficient' as it relates to those people, and optimizing your recovery and results as a hard-training lifter or athlete.

lol @ comparing humans to herbivores, though. It's not like there would be any differences there

That was almost as funny as the Hollywood name-dropping, cause nothing screams 'pinnacle of health and fitness' like underweight B-list celebrities.

I thought the whole too much protein = bad for your kidneys was unproven?

[ThePman]

It is.
