Fascinating hour long chat on protein. Not Diabetes specific but does discuss from the 20 mins mark.
Covering: RDA, ketosis, IF, muscle loss, renal failure, age, menopause and after, animal v vegetable protein and much more. Enjoy.

 
Thank you! I am currently cutting out some carbs and replacing with protein, firstly to feel fuller and secondly because my doctor recommended having more calcium (I'm adding in some high protein yoghurt), so I have been curious about this stuff. Very interesting show!
 
Good timing:-

Also, while eggs are "a great source of protein", Dr Phillips cautions that typically we already have plenty of protein in our diets and too much (two or three times the recommended daily amount) "can put a strain on kidneys".

Bah humbug. Eat the chicken and the egg. With a side of veg. I also liked the way they covered body builders, kidney failure and a spurious correlation with protein. Because all body builders were natural. Also liked the gelatin diet comment. Hadn't heard that one before :)

As for eggs, I remember from when I was training just how many eggs the heavyweights would get through to get protein from the egg whites.
