"All animals on earth and humans will eat until they get enough protein. You're basically gonna eat and eat and eat until you get enough protein. And only then are you gonna stop eating." - Dr. Ted Naiman
I've been studying nutrition for decades, but when I discovered Dr. Ted Naiman's work on protein leverage, everything clicked into place. He is a brilliant primary care physician who grew tired of watching his patients gain weight despite trying every diet available. So he did what any good engineer would do - he reverse-engineered the entire obesity epidemic to find the real solution.
