After 4X Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler, Exercise Scientist, Known for Bashing Hollywood Stars Spills the Beans on the Downsides of Eating Too Much Protein
Sophia Edwards Protein has always been one of the major concerns of bodybuilders and many are often worried if they are including enough protein in their diets. But what happens when one overdoes protein? The Exercise Scientist, Dr. Michael Israetel, recently disclosed the implications of excess protein intake and the results are starkly different from what one would expect.
With his Ph.D. in Sport Physiology and as a former Professor of Nutrition and Sport Science, Israetel has major knowledge about nutrition and there are many who rely on him for their fitness goals. Israetel has now decided to point out where a lot of bodybuilders can go wrong with their diet plans.
Dr. Michael Israetel’s Dinosaur analogy
Israetel talked about a dinosaur protein analogy in his latest YouTube Short video. He explained how if a person eats about 400 grams of protein per day while weighing about 200 pounds, then it can be compared with the situation where ten nukes are brought onto a dinosaur planet. He stated, “There’s definitely a cost. Physical cost. There’s a Diarrhea cost to that cause if you have that much protein your p**p starts to look interesting and there’s just no clear benefit.”
The nutrition expert further developed his dinosaur analogy by giving an example where a T-rex can be killed by a lesser input than a big 120 MM canon. Dr. Michael Israetel thus explained, “Will you always need a 120 MM Canon to kill a T-rex and some stegosaurus or whatever trying to kill you? The Zombie Dinosaurs of course. No, a 50 cal might do… It’s a little bit Overkill.”
As much as Israetel is restricting bodybuilders from taking in too much Protein, he went the opposite way while talking about sugar. According to Israetel, sugar intake is not inherently a bad thing. Let us see what he had to say about this.
Dr. Michael Israetel’s insights on sugar intake
Israetel told his viewers that if they have high-fiber foods in their diet chart, then sugar intake would not be much of a problem. He stated, “Sugar is totally fine so long as most of your carbs come from high fiber sources like fruits, and veggies, whole grains.” Michael Israetel also pointed out how the human body always breaks food into sugar and hence it is never a bad element.
Dr. Michael Israetel’s tips point out the fact that people often end up being confused with their dietary requirements. It’s either too little or too much. However, with evidence-backed suggestions like this, there is not much choice but to listen to him if you are out to embark on your fitness journey.
