The Benefits of a Lower Protein Intake

The normal protein recommendation given by fitness professionals is to eat 1 to 1.5g of protein per pound of body weight.

This is actually quite a bit of protein and you won’t hit these numbers unless you seek high protein sources every meal.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you ate quite a bit less protein than this?

Here’s a video talking about why it may be healthier and how you will get better results eating less than these standard recommendations.

I actually think for optimal health you could cut protein by HALF of what is typically recommended.

I’m not the only one who believes this.

One of the top longevity researchers in the world, Dr. Valter Longo, recommends that we drastically lower protein intake to age better and live a longer life.

I recently wrote a blog post about this research:
