Personally I think dietary protein requirements are overstated and people don't need as much as is recommended.

    Really? Thats certainly a bold take. For me I'm happy to be guided by people who know more on the subject.

    Thinking about it, i suppose it could come down to experts looking for best health delivery, versus what people can actually survive with? I don't know.

    From the reading I've done, you want to get at least 10% of dietary energy from each of the three sources - protein, carbs and lipids. Beyond that, the other 70% is less important. However the broscience advice is so strong that many people believe you need 1g/protein per pound of body weight. IIRC the recommended split is 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% lipids.

    You present lipids like they are somewhat more important than i ever realised. So now i'm thinking theres the no carb diets, the protein diets, wheres the lipids diet?

    And, have we just stumbled upon a gap in the bro science fad diet scene? Is this our Million dollar idea!?!

    Move over Atkins, its time tobtake the world by storm with the Sane-Gorgritch Diet! Or maybe it could be called the Lipids Delight?

    The ketogenic diet is lipid based. As much as the keto people don't want to hear a word against it I don't feel it's the ideal choice. A simple balance of whole foods is hard to beat.
