Reading Casey Johnston’s newsletter today and she writes “While you need one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight while building, you can maintain at 0.75 grams per pound of body weight.”

And I was wondering if this sort of info is something you can easily find in public health exercise campaigns or your family doctor tells you if you talk to them about exercise or that they teach in high school health class?

I don’t think it is, but maybe I’m just old enough and have had bad enough luck with doctors that gym bros and fitness influencers were where i learned such things.

I am increasingly surrounded by vegan people and considering a change in my diet. Years ago I tried a low carb vegan diet because that’s what my doctor follows (he is also diabetic) I found it unsatisfying 😬 and spiked my blood sugar levels 😣…. But I reckon I could be vegetarian - any long term diabetic vegan or vegetarian people here? Thoughts?#diet #food #diabetes

“Some day, I suspect, we will wonder how we could have allowed so many animals to endure such profound suffering. As a onetime farm boy who raised sheep, cattle, geese, chickens and other animals, I understand that these aren’t just industrial cogs but animals with personalities not so different from our dogs and cats.”
