Oh yeah? What was the doctor talking about?


i can't post any facts, information, or opinions on this subforum, sorry.

you are the ones who argued for 8 pages that it's impossible to get mild mercury poisoning from eating nothing but low-quality canned tuna fish

and argued that all essential amino acids could not be obtained from plants.

i could post the sky is blue and it would get severely twisted, and get nothing but backlash from it.

you emotional sissies are not worthy of knowledge or capable of any rudimentary enlightenment.

do your own research.

So you're telling me you truly believe your body has the ability to turn a carbohydrate, sugar , into protein/amino acids?


i am not. that's absurd

No, that's what you said. The doctor asked why op ate so much protein, because his body could make it. It had nothing to do with meat intake, the GI just took issue with the moderately high protein intake. Op just happened to say it came from milk, whey and meat. You're just trying to be a smarty pants, but you look like an idiot.

I'm not trying to diss my butt doctor but it wasn't about quantity of protein. Not once did he express why so much protein or the potential consequences of that.

He had an issue with targeting protein consumption as a macro, I don't think 150G (which I probably get less) for 200lb isn't that much.
As in, I like drinking skim milk for the taste and because it's protein.

To him, protein makes you fat, you shouldn't target it for building muscle and your body can convert carbs, sugars, fats, into protein vice versa because the body knows what it needs.
Also, you shouldn't focus on consuming protein because it fucks up your metabolism in some way your body gets used to getting the protein? (which afaik was an idiotic statement by him because I told him I eat pasta, rice, oatmeal, foods with fiber and use oils for fats so it's not like I'm on some Keto diet).

He asked me why all these people outside are fat and I replied with they consume a lot of calories, probably a lot of sugary foods and they don't exercise.

I forget what he said but he disagreed with that, I think he targeted processed foods.

I really don't care, I just lift weights to get swole. I'm a software engineer so I don't take any pride in my health knowledge or try to exert my bro knowledge of the swollygym to doctors or people. Just this experience was equivalent to when I found out santa claus doesn't sneak into everyone's homes.

Your doctor is an idiot and Wretch is being an ass like he always does.

This ^


Honestly it blew my mind reading this with all the education background a doctor requires and yet is so ignorant on basic knowledge you'd learn in an intro course to biology. Lost a little faith in our health care system after this thread

So your GI specialist has a poor overview of metabolism and Wretch can't read or write
