In this episode, you’ll learn everything you need to know about plant protein to torch body fat and build lean vegan muscle.
We’ll cover the following topics:
- Recommended protein targets for fat loss and muscle growth
- Plant protein quality and why it matters just as much as protein quantity
- Why eating lots of plant protein is not bad for you
- Optimal protein timing and the “anabolic window”
- How much protein your body can absorb in one sitting
- The truth about soy (including the effects of phytoestrogens on men’s testosterone levels and women’s breast cancer rates)
- And more!
We'd love to help you more!
