> Why limit lean protein intake? Do you mean as a > percentage of calories > or an absolute value? > It's been a discussion on here several times. You might find some interesting posts if you search for 'Rosedale' in the archives. I just talked to my doc about this last Wednesday and he says it's BS. He said that some people think your body can't convert protein after certain amounts and that that is simply not true. He also said that leptin is there for a reason and to eat protein freely and not worry about leptin resistance. His example was body builders - they eat tons of protein yet are really lean. I am still experimenting with what seems to work best for my body since you get different opinions from everybody including doctors.
