A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

i gained 17 pounds of muscle and lost 20 pounds of fat in 4 months without lifting weights or cardio and simply following vegan diet with intermittent fasting

attia is wrong about tre and animal products

research shows it, as well as anecdotal evidence

the trick is that i eat 100g of protein per day

to give a bit more context on attia (read my review of outlive: yabc.borodutch.com/outlive):

- he's putting anecdotal evidence above scientific studies
- he's dismissing epidemiological research
- he makes basic logical mistakes and falls victim to the same biases rampant across most md's that write books

the reason he decides against tre and veganism is that people tend to lose lean mass on such diets

but that's not the reason — and he fails to see this

the reason is unbalanced uneducated approach to eating

e.g. lack of macro- and micronutrients in diets when people go vegan or start tre

so the correct approach is to *educate people on what they must eat* instead of dismissing healthy approaches to food

*increase the protein intake*, don't tell people to eat meat or not to use tre because this will increase the protein intake as a side-effect

we. must. teach. people. to. eat. properly.

education!

way better approach is taken by the author of "How Not to Die": goodreads.com/book/show/25663961-how-not-to-die

science > anecdotal evidence

because when you use anecdotal evidence you fall victim to biases

scientific research can also be biased, but it is *way* less biased because researchers actively avoid it

Woow, is there proof before after? And what it tre?

withings smart scales

in the end, all the measurement methods are trash so you should only look at the relative numbers within the same brand and preferably the same scales

How do you measure growth of lean muscle mass?

i'm actually the happiest i've ever been food-wise, i have no plans to stop eating this way

the only improvement i'd do is to outsource these 2h a week for someone else to cook 😂

Are you happy? Do you enjoy eating this way? Will you continue eating this way?

here's my mealplan that i cook for 2h on sundays and re-heat in a microwave everyday, it's delicious, cheap and doesn't take nothing close to how long i cooked for before

i've been losing fat over the last 4 months and gaining lean mass, not training for strength

i'm more agile and endurant simply because i dropped all the extra weight

now, training for strength is my next step; my goal was to not lose lean mass while shredding, gaining it was very surprising and i decided to share

Just to confirm, when you say gain muscle, you also mean you’re much stronger in 4 months and can lift more, etc.?

(which is the status quo of what happens in traditional mechanisms of going to the gym and working out to gain muscle)

he advocates against tre and for animal products because people tend to lose lean mass on such diets (from his anecdotal evidence)

both peer-reviewed research and my anecdotal evidence suggests the opposite

What did attia get wrong about tre and animal products? Also you mentioned he already decided and gather evidence later, what did he decided at the beginning? That tre does not work?

from my experience there is a *huge* difference between 50g of protein per day and 100g+

i also did 50g for a long time and also didn't gain anything

also, as for going to the gym 😅 when you don't have enough building blocks (i.e., amino-acids) your body may use your lean mass as fuel (before shredding fat)

that's why calorie deficit and gym don't mix well

when I was vegan, fasting 16hrs a day, going to the gym and eating 50g of protein a day I gained very close to 0 pounds of muscle. Who will be the first to replicate @warpcastadmin.eth’s extraordinary claims?

no noticeable exertion

i've been shredding these 4 months on a 1800-2000kcal per day diet out of which 100g per day were plant proteins

the most i did was walking for 30m a week with my kid in a backpack (~10kg), almost never reaching zone 3 (as per attia) :)

diet matters way more than we think

did you exert yourself in any other way, or are you claiming just by eating protein you naturally gained 17 pounds of muscle?

no alcohol helps drastically
