The real issue with animal-based high-protein food choices is not about your individual health, nor is nutritional deficits. Assuming that you are in fact eating a healthy, nutritionally complete high-protein, high-satiety diet.
The issue is the planetary impact and indirect harm to all human beings.
At Strength By Fitness, we do not just coach nutrition and fitness, fat loss, performance and strength and all those things.
We work with fostering healthier habits too, and recovery and stress management are part of that, as is sleep.
So here are a few basic pillars that will let us improve your sleep quality and sleep cycle, and the many health metrics that in turn will improve.
As evolved, educated, teachable, and acutely intelligent as the human species are, we are also, just as primal as every other animal species that still roam this planet.
The primal driver of pack mentality is why omnivores are seen as more socially acceptable than plant-based people.
I have lately seen some health, nutrition & fitness conversations about protein intake and kidney disease. Expressing the good old fable that a healthy high-protein intake will be a bad thing for people with kidney issues.
And especially so the elderly.
But this is for most people a fable, based on a small grain of truth. Welcome to another fact-based deep dive from Strength By Fitness.
Never be afraid of lifting weights as a woman or man who is currently out of shape, less fit, obese, or if you simply are a person with some excess fat to lose.
When you change your food habits in order to achieve a healthy amount of fat loss you will also lose some lean mass, including skeletal muscle mass, bone mass and organ mass. Welcome to a new article and study.
We are living in a fact-free world where a ton of people tragically assume that as they grow old there is absolutely nothing they can do to maintain better health, and fitness, mobility and body composition relative to their sedentary peers.
This is not true, habits dictate how you age, dive right in and find out how you can enjoy a healthier second half of your life.
Today we we will take a look at over 150,000 completed marathons from 120,000 runners, so there´s no lack of data points in this article.
All data was from the final 16 weeks preceding the 151,813 marathons that were completed successfully by 119,452 runners.
Mike Tyson vs Paul was, as most had expected, not a great boxing match.
But the value of the entertainment is not the purpose of this article. What I want to say is that Mike Tyson impressed me, and more importantly he should inspire countless of people around the world.
Now, why did Tyson impress me?

Intervals are far more demanding than steady-state exercise. But, read on for the why and take that knowledge with you as you program smarter fitness plans.

Long-term stress harms your health in a major way. But a healthy fact-based lifestyle mitigates a lot of that negative impact.
And just as you can learn to eat healthier foods, and create healthier food, exercise, and lifestyle habits you can also learn how to reduce chronic stress.
A 6-minute summary of our long-form article talking about obesity and nutritional deficits in billions of people, and how a high-protein plus whole plant-based food approach solves both issues for almost everyone.
Saturday is one of our weekly gym-free recovery days. This means that we prioritize ‘us’ time, chilling, relaxing, recovering, eating healthy high-protein foods supplanted with plenty of whole plant-based foods, and doing nonexhaustive activities that are done for adventure, fun, family, relationship, calm, rejuvenating and quality of life time.
Around the world, billions of people eat too much food while at the same time not getting enough nutrients. But how bad is the situation really?.
Let us look at some nutrients and how many are estimated to be deficient globally right now.
Globally speaking, this disregard for cause & consequences becomes even more apparent in the way far too many still do not acknowledge the importance of a healthy planetary home and the fact-based suffering and harm we are causing both ourselves and our planet by our refusal to live in a sustainable way.
The blood-brain barrier and plastic pollution.
So, following this short introduction I have drummed up, we have finally arrived at the core of my article. Man-made plastic pollution and the way it encapsulates everything in our earthly home by now.
Even our brain.
Think of Earth as an almost closed-off circular system with a finite capacity to handle pollution, natural resource drain, loss, and imbalances.
Now take roughly 9 billion humans and add our environmental impact together, and you are left with the mathematical reason why sustainability matters.

Beef requires roughly 20 times more land than nuts, and 35 times more than grains to produce the same amount of edible protein.
