Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - Dr Peter Attia, Evolving Nutrition Advice

There are older threads here on Dr Peter Attia, when he was taking ketone esters, and thought extended fasts helpful for "autophagy", and other nutritional hacks.
His latest thoughts very much align with Dr Ted Naiman on the importance of protein and Marty Kendall's work on nutrients and protein, that an "overly compressed eating window". ( aka OMAD!) is not enough to support optimal nutrition.

This is an excellent summary of Dr Attia's latest thoughts, which Marty has summarized as follows:

Quote:

Interesting recent reflections and shifts in thinking from Peter Attia (from 44 mins):

- most of the benefits of time-restricted eating are simply due to caloric restriction,
- overly compressed eating windows compromise protein intake and degrade food quality,
- this leads to loss of muscle mass and increasing body fat % and worsening insulin resistance,
- the RDA for protein is severely underbaked
- it's how much you need to live (not how much you need to thrive),
- your kidneys are not going to be challenged until you hit 3-4 g/kg LBM of protein (which is VERY hard to achieve),
- the most challenging demographic is middle-aged women who are undereating protein, fasting and doing no exercise - this is a recipe for a shorter life and a lower quality life.
