you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who advocates for a high protein diet. And its the bad gut bacteria (or at least the ones found more in obese people) that thrive on sugars and starches.

- trowawee 11y agoI mean...so is every diet. That's sorta the point of the 538 article, no? Diet science is trash. I was just pointing out that you would not at all "be hard pressed to find anyone who advocates for a high protein diet". And honestly, I could have just said "anyone strong, ever" and been done with it. You can dismiss the diets I named as fads, but I have never met anyone with any appreciable muscle who doesn't have protein intake a few standard deviations above the norm. There's all kinds of disagreement about how to get that protein - there are vegan bodybuilders, strongman competitors who eat five pounds of chicken a day, the GOMAD folks chugging their milk - but there's no substantial disagreement that you need protein, and lots of it.
- noondip 11y agoYou don't need more than 10-15% of your calories to come from protein. Maybe a little more if you are a professional body-builder.
