Understanding a Metaboliq Lifestyle Dr. Donald K. Layman
Health Benefits with Increased Protein • For Treatment or Prevention of: • obesity • Metabolic Syndrome • type 2 diabetes • sarcopenia • osteoporosis • heart disease Layman et al. AJCN 87: 1571S, 2008 Heaney & Layman AJCN: 1567S, 2008
Current nutrition “beliefs” and guidelines • - avoid fat • - limit animal products (cholesterol and SFA) • - increase fiber (using whole grains) • - eat small meals • - use fat-free foods • - use snacks with low calorie density • - express food as % of energy (% kcals) • total daily nutrition Belief: high Carb, low fat, low protein diets are best
USDA Food Guide Pyramid fats milk cheese meat fish, eggs 2-3 servings 2-3 servings 2-4 servings 3-5 servings vegetables fruits bread, cereal, rice & pasta 6-11 servings
Changes in U.S. diet (1970 – 2000) • red meat (25%) • dairy (30%) • eggs (40%) • grains (decreased vegetables) • fruit juices (decreased fruits) • sodas • snack foods (refined carbohydrates)
Energy Sources for Women and Children* top six: 1. grain-based desserts and snacks 2. yeast breads 3. pasta 4. pizza 5. chicken, chicken products 6. soda, sport drinks * Source: Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, 2010
G. Bray; J Am Med Assoc. (2012) Effect of dietary protein content on weight gain, energy expenditure, and body composition during overeating Compared diets with 5%, 15%, and 25% protein Overfed subjects by ~1000 kcal/day (8 weeks) Headline: “low protein diet blunted energy storage and weight gain” Protein intakes: 46 g, 140 g, 230 g/day
Problems with Percentages --USDA Food Guide Pyramid: (55% : 15% : 30%)-- kcal/day Carbs (g/d) protein (g/d) lipids (g/d) 3500 481 131 117 2300 316 86 77 1500 208 56 50 RDA for protein: 81 kg x 0.8 g/kg = 65 g/d
Understanding Calories… Calories are not an exact science counting calories seldom works… % of calories is misleading • portion control • satiety • thermogenesis • balance
Understanding Protein… Myth: “Adults eat more protein than they need!” adults eat more protein than the minimum to prevent deficiencies minimum needs vs. optimum health
Protein: 0.8 g/kg 2.5 g/kg IOM Protein Guidelines: DRIs upper limit RDA Risk of Adverse Affects Risk of Inadequacy acceptable intake
Metabolic Advantages of Dietary Protein • Advantages: • - improves body composition • ↓ body fat, ↑ lean tissue • - increased thermogenesis • (increased protein turnover) • - increased satiety • - stabilizes blood sugar
Adult Protein Needs: major points 1. Adults decrease efficiency of amino acid use 2. Limiting amino acids versus leucine signaling 3. Need for meal distribution of dietary protein
Protein Turnover: Growth vs Aging Protein Turnover = synthesis - breakdown 16 y.o. = 253 g/d - 250 g/d growth 60 y.o. = 250 g/d - 250.01 g/d aging
Protein needs for adults • Aging reduces amino acid efficiency • - loss of growth (anabolic drive) • Need for higher protein quality
protein needs physical activity Protein needs for adults Sedentary lifestyle increases protein needs
Athletes understand • Muscle health: • repair • rebuild
Adult Protein Needs: major points 1. Adults decrease efficiency of amino acid use 2. Limiting amino acids versus leucine signaling
“minimum” protein requirement Amino acids are required as … “building blocks” for new proteins Protein quality = limiting amino acids: (lysine, methionine)
Metabolic requirement: leucine neurotransmitters (mood, appetite) gut hormones (GLP1, CCK) Leucine - mTOR (protein synthesis) muscle health amino acid signaling GCN2 (ER stress) vascular health (nitric oxide) SIRT-1 (mitochondrial biogenesis)

Leucine signal = “meal” requirement Leucine signal requires about 3.0 grams of dietary leucine … or 30 grams of protein
Adult Protein Needs: major points 1. Adults decrease efficiency of amino acid use 2. Limiting amino acids versus leucine signaling 3. Need for meal distribution of dietary protein
Common Meal Pattern: Unbalanced Protein Distribution response range for protein synthesis (skeletal muscle) Breakfast Lunch Dinner ~10 g ~20 g ~60 g protein protein protein
Meal Patterns: Unbalanced Protein Distribution Balanced Protein Distribution Optimum Protein Synthesis Breakfast Lunch Dinner Breakfast Lunch Dinner ~10 g ~20 g ~60 g ~30 g ~30 g ~30 g protein protein protein protein protein protein Layman Nutr & Metab 6:12, 2009
Satiety: breakfast protein vs Carbs Metaboliq balance at breakfast ghrelin (hunger), PYY (satiety) calories at lunch 4:00 - MRI - brain “desire” for snacks evening - snacking
Thermogenesis: breakfast protein vs Carbs Protein burns calories “diet induced thermogenesis” Protein synthesis: muscle ATP (energy) mitochondria fat burning
Understanding Carbs… No dietary need for carbohydrates RDA = 130 g/d average American = 350 g/d Myth: “Adults need to increase whole grain cereals” Need for - vegetables - fruits
Understanding Carbs… High Carb diets produce excessive insulin - causes fat storage - causes inflammation - increases LDL-cholesterol Carb threshold per meal is less than 40 grams exercise increases use by muscles sedentary behavior shifts to fat storage
Understanding Carbs… Myth: “fructose is bad for you” Myth: “beans are a good source of protein” Myth: “bread is better for you than sugar”
Understanding Fats… Fats are required for every cell in our body Fats are an efficient energy store Fatty acids are essential nutrients Myth: “SFA cause heart disease” Excess dietary energy combined with high Carbs causes inflammation and arterial damage
The METABOLIQ approach… • balance high quality protein at meals • reduce carbohydrates (processed grains) • select reduced fat foods • (avoid fried foods, snacks, desserts, etc) • increase fiber (vegetables and berries) • breakfast is most important meal • Goal: correct individual meals
