Well using your own figures & some simple math, you stated that 10% of one's intake would equate to 100 grams of CHO. That's 400 calories. So at 10%, that's a 4000 calorie intake. And you used the same figures for your protein intake recommendation. Therefore 400 calories = 100 grams of protein.
Alternatively you suggest that 1g of PRO/kg of TBW is sufficient. And I wouldn't imagine there are too many 150kg athletes here on the boards, so I'm not sure how anyone was supposed to come to the conclusion of 150g/day from what you posted. Truth be told I'd be quite surprised if there are a great deal of people posting here that would even weigh 100kg who are in decent shape, so that would see most consuming even less than 100g/day if they were to follow your recommendations.
Not recommendations..., read what I write thanks.
No worries mate, have a good day now.Tomato/tomato. You asked for the figures & I provided them. My reading comprehension is just fine thanks.
Fadi is simply sharing what works for him.
he has never pushed his point, but has always in my view provided a good explanation of why HE does what he does.
different strokes for different folks.
No-one really knows what's optimal and in the scheme of things who cares.Just seemed odd to me that what he was suggesting protein wise was far below optimal.

Some say 2g per kilo others say 1g while someone else say .8g, there is no definitive answer on this.
Fadi was stating what HE does, not what you or anyone else should do.
it is another option offered to you should you wish to give it a go.
The only thing that I know for certain is that when I lift weights my muscles get bigger, everything else is heresayAnd while the upper limit for protein requirements may not be truly established, we both know that 1g/kg of bodyweight does not cut it.

Thanks for the info @Fadi; Glad to seeyou have found a diet that works for you.
Question regarding leptin. Why would you not want it to be increased? I take ityou are trying to gain weight at the moment then?
You could be right, But the diagnosis wasn't made at the naturopath level (I was quite critical of their advice without hard evidence) i am not convinced anyone has been able to 100% diagnose what is my core issue causing sleep ang gut issues, but from the information I have read about the overgrowth converting ferment able carbs into a form of alcohol and that producing brain fog, and my experience on low carb vs high I can see that in my own body. Re the SB supplementation it certainly helps "firm" my bowel movements, and also referencing stuff I have read it is due to it competing against the overgrowth.
my GP did stool, blood, urine and saliva testing in making the diagnosis.
I have aver stopped chasing my tail with both issues, as I have invested a lot of money, and have to a point accepted my challenges, but I clearly can see a difference with keto vs normal diet, but I struggle with compliance as I crave carbs, dairy upsets my gut and I get worse acid reflux with higher fat (mainly from the likes of MCT oil, coconut oil, caprilic acid etc)
have you had a sleep study yet?? dunno why that would be last in the list...
reflux, shitty sleeping, usually points to sleep apnoea imo.
but what would i know
Maybe, maybe not. There are so many things we attribute to getting older or old age in general, however that may perhaps be the easier way out. For example, we don't lose muscles because we get older, we get older because we lose muscles. And everyone on this forum knows the best and #1 way to lose muscles ...simply don't use them!And I am aware that a person's carb requirements gradually reduces with age.
Both insulin and leptin are regulated by each and every meal that you eat, in other words, what you eat has a direct effect on these two extremely powerful hormones. When you eat a meal high in carbohydrates, you create spikes in both of these hormones. Hey Fadi, so what, big deal mate! The big, (make that huge) deal, is that it is these spikes in insulin, and spikes in leptin, that cause insulin and leptin resistance!

Similarly with the carbohydrate intake as one gets older. As I have stated in post #54, our metabolism does not slow down because we've gotten older, it slows down because we've abused its chief controller leptin, by our constant intake of high carbs/high protein, leading to spikes and yo-yoing effects in both our insulin and leptin levels.
We've all heard people say that our metabolism slows down as we get older. I disagree. Our metabolism slows down, and its set point becomes lower and lower as we continue to indulge ourselves in eating in a way that would affect our blood sugar/insulin levels, as well as our leptin levels. We get to a stage where even though the hormone in question is present in full, our cells don't see it, as they have become desensitised to its constant presence. We need to get back to making our cells sensitive to these hormones in order for that recognition to occur, and we can not do that if we maintain the statu quo.
