I wasn't sure where to post this, it's not new diabetes news but I am looking to discuss any science, studies, etc related to the idea that one should avoid excess protein. And not just because it can be converted to glucose.
I recently discovered Dr Ron Rosedale (thanks to his amazing post on Jimmy Moore's site rebutting Jaminet's "safe starch" theory). He advocates restricting protein because
1) it can be converted to glucose as we know
2) not only can it be insulinogenic and increase IGF but also increases your leptin.
3) it creates a chain of signals that ultimately contribute to diseases of aging.
It's the second reason that I found extremely interesting. In his lecture he explains the mtor pathway and how it increases leptin signaling. I listened to the entire lecture and understood probably 60%
Most likely will need to read through the transcript to figure out what to look into from here.
I was curious if anyone else has looked into either the idea of restricting protein or Rosedale's ideas in particular. Just looking for other lectures to listen to, blogs to read or explanation as to why he's on the right track or not.
