Episode 38: Straight talk on Protein and more with Dr. Jose Antonio

The CEO and co-founder of the International Society of Sports Nutrition stopped by Bodybuilding.com to talk about his research into high-protein diets, and share the current state of the research on protein dosage, creatine, glutamine, and plenty more.

Highlights:

- The RDA on protein, aka "enough to feed my hamster."
- What he views as the real "baseline" for athletes
- How he decided to start studying truly high protein intake levels
- What they observed in bone health, body composition, and others
- "Don’t change your diet. Just throw a whole bunch of protein on top."
- About "protein is bad for your kidneys": "It's like saying, 'Hey, I live in south Florida. I sweat all the time. Hey, my sweat glands are working hard. Maybe it's bad for my sweat glands.'"
- Why there is such resistance to high-protein diets in popular press
- "Protein sensitivity" in aging populations
- The Antonio rule: "If it helps or has a neutral effect, just frickin' try it."
- His approach to caffeine (he's a highly caffeinated guy)
- On clinical doses vs. "dustings"
- His retort to the deniers of the so-called anabolic window: "Why not do the shake immediately post-workout? Does not eating ever help you?"
- "The right way to look at it is, well, if the anabolic window is that long, take advantage of every frickin' part of the window."
- On protein upper limits per meal: "Imagine you've been starving for two days. You finally catch a deer. You want to eat, and your caveman buddy says, 'You know what? 30 grams of protein, that's it. Stop.' And you're hungry. You just want to eat and eat and eat. You want the whole deer leg. It makes sense, from a biological standpoint, that your body can take in and utilize a lot of protein, certainly a lot more than 30 grams."
- Why he loves creatine and thinks "it may actually be healthier than taking a vitamin."
- Why he's still a believer in glutamine
- On branched-chains: Maybe only for "the top one percent"
