Well SupportedProtein intake of 1.2g/kg is better than 0.8g/kg, and higher intakes are needed to maximize anabolism, especially in older individuals.Well SupportedMeat provides essential nutrients like carnitine, carnosine, tyrosine, and glutathione that are not found in plants and are crucial for bodily functions.Partially SupportedConsuming meat, organs, and animal fat can improve satiety through cholecystokinin (CCK) mediated signaling.Partially SupportedCollagen from trachea and scapula cartilage may assist in wound healing.Partially Supported

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

The probability of an obese person attaining normal body weight over a 10-year period is low, with annual probabilities ranging from 1 in 120 to 1 in 1290 depending on obesity severity.

Partially SupportedPhytanic acid, a branched-chain fatty acid critical for human health, is found only in animal foods.

Not SupportedFocusing on weight loss by restricting calories from low-quality food is an ineffective long-term strategy that leads to hormonal decline and weight regain.

Partially SupportedACE inhibitory compounds found in collagen peptides may contribute to cardiovascular health.

Partially SupportedMeat protein hydrolysates can stimulate signaling pathways that improve insulin response and sensitivity by increasing incretin release.

Not SupportedMainstream weight loss paradigms like 'eat less, move more' are ineffective because they neglect dietary quality, micronutrients, and the specific benefits of animal-based foods.

Partially SupportedAnimal foods can repair the gut and improve tight junction functioning.

Partially SupportedA high protein diet (1g/lb body weight) along with organs and meat-derived peptides is key to preventing sarcopenia.

Partially SupportedNutrients found in animal meat and organs are unique and essential for optimal biochemistry, leading to satiety and facilitating automatic weight loss when the body is healthier.

Partially SupportedIncluding more animal foods, such as meat and organs, improves food quality and is a method to achieve health and lose weight.

Partially SupportedMeat and organs contain unique amino acids and bioactive compounds that can prevent muscle wasting diseases like sarcopenia, reduce food intake to prevent metabolic syndrome, maintain blood pressure homeostasis, and support a functional gut environment through meat-derived nucleotides and nucleosides.

Partially SupportedBovine cartilage contains a protein that stimulates the immune system, inhibits tumor blood vessel growth, and increases NK and T cells.

Partially SupportedSustainable, long-term weight loss is achieved by improving food quality through an animal-based diet.

Partially SupportedDietary nucleotides and nucleosides obtained from meat, collagen, and organs are necessary for repair and can increase mucosal protein, DNA concentration, and villi length in the small intestine.

Partially SupportedFocus on getting healthy through a species-appropriate, primarily animal-based diet, rather than losing weight to get healthy.

Partially SupportedEnterocytes, brain cells, and bone marrow cells have limited capacity to synthesize nucleotides and nucleosides, increasing their dietary need with age and stress.

Partially SupportedDietary and parenteral supplementation of nucleic acids support mucosal self-proliferation and function.

Partially SupportedMeat and chicken collagen hydrolysates may have anti-inflammatory actions, potentially related to nitric oxide.

Partially SupportedMeat-derived nucleotides and nucleosides have unique signaling roles important for human health.

Partially SupportedCryptic peptides found in meat may offer benefits for the gut.

Partially SupportedPhytanic acid found in meat is beneficial for humans.

Partially SupportedBesides amino acids, meat contains bioactive peptides that stimulate muscle growth.

Partially SupportedMeat hydrolysates contain angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which may contribute to meat's benefit for muscle performance.
