Drs. Westman and Naiman seem to be at odds with one another on their recommendations.


Why do you think that? Dr Westman really doesn’t have a protein recommendation. We don’t measure macros or grams...he believes you will eat what your body needs. If you are appetite suppressed, he wants you to prioritize protein before fat. And does not suggest whey powder. He mentions that 1-1.5 gram per Kg of Lean body mass as a guideline in this video on protein...but since his patients do not usually weigh meats (unless on a therapeutic diet), not at odds with Dr Naiman.

Good video on Protein: Are All Proteins Equal?

This month, I am favoring more a carnivore diet, which also almost fits into Dr. Westman’s guidelines and I likely have a higher protein intake than usual. And when I first started NANY, and eventually learned about macros and my fitness pal, I worried what appeared to be high-protein (125g) and not enough fat. But the fat was coming from my body so it was all good.
