Protein

[jamsey]

Creating this thread to compile some questions I have about protein/amino acids and related research when I have time to look into it. Anybody that wants to look into this with me is welcome.

Questions:

Peat recommended limiting protein to restrict the intake of methionine, cysteine and tryptophan.

1. Are the benefits of restricting these amino acids worth the downfall of restricting all amino acids? I want specific studies talking about consequences of low vs regular protein intake. Also understand this is broad, but wanted to examine the effect of low protein outside a lab setting.
2. Does consuming gelatin use up these amino acids in the body?
3. What exactly is the upper limit of gelatin intake before negatives kick in/ is there a difference in the limits between collagen and gelatin due to different absorption kinetics?
4. What are the exact consequences of excess gelatin? Gut distress and ammonia production have been mentioned but I want to find out exactly why and how this happens
5. What happens exactly when using gelatin as sole protein in diet?
6. How does gelatin affect fernstrom ratios exactly? Which amino acids are elevated in serum and the brain?
7. How does gelatin affect mtor and autophagy?
8. Is gelatin better alone or accompanied by other protein and why?
9. Is it better to get protein in a bolus dose once daily to maximize autophagy otherwise?
10. How does protein affect blood sugar regulation? Fire in a bottle has some interesting posts about bcaas and blood sugar

I’ll post more questions as I think of them. Little busy currently but I’ll start working through these soonish when I get some free time.

Here is a post I made about gelatin. I reference Haidut talking about nausea occuring at high levels of consumption and some other info.

Apparently heavy metals may be a concern. Now Foods brand I would expect to have high standards around this.

@jamsey Bookmarking, really want to know more about gelatin.
