[01:32]Humans, just like all animals, have a protein leverage phenomenon that we are mostly unaware of. [06:17]The obesity epidemic has two parts to it: Protein dilution and the addictiveness of the high energy density carbs and fats together. [09:10]You can either choose to exercise less and weigh a lot more, or weigh way less and exercise a lot more. [11:17]It is almost impossible to eat too much protein. The real secret is satiety per calorie. [14:26]How does a smoothie from Jamba Juice of 400 calories differ from a 400-calorie smoothie you make at home with high protein ingredients? [23:14]There’s a time factor that can make you hungrier unless you have some protein with glucose. [26:14]You want your carbs at the very end of the meal. Protein is the center of the diet.  [28:10]Pair your carb intake with high intensity workouts. Be careful how you shave down the carbs. [30:19]Since the dawn of agriculture, we’ve been fattening up animals so the protein percentage is lower. [38:22]What is the simple minimalist exercise strategy? [41:59]If you are in good shape, fairly active but you want to take off some pounds, what is the best way to go? Focus on protein.
