Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Tabatha Barber arguing that simply eating large amounts of protein (example given: 150 grams) without resistance training will not cause weight loss. The speaker says unused protein is stored (leading to weight gain) and may strain the kidneys; the clip criticizes the trend of “just eat more protein and you’ll lose weight.”
So if you are eating 150 grams of protein and you're not going to the gym and lifting heavy weights and tearing those muscles to the point of muscle fatigue so that they need to be repaired and new proteins built, all that protein's sitting around, and your body's got to do something with it, and it's going to store it, and you're going to gain weight. And so there's a trend right now. Just eat more protein and you'll lose weight. And that's just. I would love to hear a woman who said that they do that. And it. It worked, because it's not true. Like, unless you're really working out and you're using that protein, you're probably not going to lose weight, and you're probably going to have a little strain on your kidneys trying to process all that protein and everything else.
