Tangential point, but Rick Beato is also a great example of mastery. The guy has incredible knowledge.

Aubs and gang are self-deceived, but also some of criticism they are receiving is self-deceived. It's self-deception all around

Gotcha. I wasn't sure.

That part is potentially true. People need to eat more nutrient dense, whole-foods in general.

That would likely just make things way too complicated and create unnessary drama. The forum should not become a distraction.

If you're going to do serious cold approach, yes. What most men can or can't do is irrelevant. It's about whether you personally can pull it off. If you're a DPT, you should be fine. You can get a nice apartment with your salary. I lived here for about 1800-2k a month: https://livealeamiami.com/ You can, but the suburbs also just make everything more inconvenient. The more convenient you can make things, typically the better.

And how much fiber do you need for longevity?

Don't do it!!!

I agree. I eat some fiber.

Still true. I don't recommend protein powders for the most part. They have their own problems. You don't need more fiber than protein. Your priorities are backwards.

103.3g of fiber and 96.9g of protein??? Bruh

People in general are not over upregulating IGF-1 because they're eating high quality protein. If anything, most modern people are under-consuming protein. They're just eating processed garbage and carbs. Too many empty calories, too little nutrient density. Exceptions of course apply.

There's a practical distinction here worth making. Fats, proteins and most carbs your main digestive system breaks down. Fiber, you do not. It's fermented by gut bacteria in the large intestine. You could live a very long time without fiber, or even carbohydrates at all. Carbohydrates are somewhat optional. Not true for fat and protein. Most essential list: fat / protein > digestible carbohydrates > fiber

The NAL is using a quirky definition of macronutrient here. Fiber is literally a carbohydrate humans cannot digest. It's for your gut bacteria. Fiber is good, but you certainly don't need as much as you need protein, fat or digestible carbs.

You stated that EAAs in animal protein are more detrimental than good. Sunlight is likely more essential than fiber.
