"Protein Myth"

Yeah enzymes are protein, but there's not enough to make the minimum for the day. He's probably a true vegan, which means he'll ingest enough dirt to carry some more protein. I even double checked with a PhD. in my old university, I shot her an e-mail with the link. The man featured in the video is a persuasive speaker though.
 
If he wants people to listen to him then he needs to bulk up a little. Who would take advice on healthy eating from Skeletor?

At least you can see that he is skinny (and probably healthier than the typical flabby fast food eating American). Some much more popular diet book authors do not seem to be very muscular in the upper body, but do not make available pictures that show what they look like below the rib cage, as if they are hiding a bit too much abdominal flab.

If he is consuming enough calories from real foods, and it is not heavily biased toward fruit, added sugar, or added fats/oils, he is probably getting plenty of protein.

Skinny? Gaunt is more like it. And I love how he says that he's got too much muscle for a runner, as if he's bragging. I'd actually like to know where that muscle is, because I sure didn't see any ...

There's no way he's 39. He looks waaaaaaay older than I do.

So, you're 39 1/2? I know you've been, whats the term u used, pancreatically challenged for 25 years. So, how old were you when you found out about your diabetes? I can do the math but I'd never come out and ask you how old you are, thats just rude, lol.

I was diagnosed the same year I hung up my track shoes ;) So basically, half my life.

Wow, you were diagnosed pretty late huh? Guess your pancreas wasn't ready to give up the ghost too early!

I think my body totally rejected itself once I stopped track and field :D

Seriously, I suppose I was older than most, but it was really slow onset (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults). I knew it was coming so I had lots of time to prepare for the point in time where I would be injecting. In a way, that was good ... but I felt like my body was a time bomb. I didn't know which day I'd wake up and finally be insulin dependent. In the interim, I was never given oral medication. I just changed my diet.

Technically, I have Type 1.5 diabetes, not Type 1, but most people don't know what Type 1.5 is, so it's easier to just say "Type 1" :)

EDIT: I should state that I'm a nightmare as a patient. I'm stubborn and I prefer my treatment to be self-directed :D
At the time I was diagnosed, the endocrinologist thought I had Type 2, even though he said I didn't fit the profile. He suggested that I start oral medication, but I said "NO", mostly because if I didn't fit the profile, and my test results were mostly negative for Type 2, why would I start oral meds? He kind of agreed with me, but said I needed to have blood tests done every 3-4 weeks, and a glucose tolerance test done every month.

Needless to say, when I was diagnosed, medical science certainly wasn't what it is today.
