ya, but one pretty big point that guy forgets is this. Protein is hard to break down. I think thats a good thing, he thinks its bad. My way of looking at it, it fires up the metabolism, causes thermogenenesis, and burns energy. IN other words, eating protein is awesome for fat loss and leanness.

take away the "difficulity" in digestion. and you have protein with potential to convert into glucose hitting your blood directly. You lose metabolism, thermogenesis, calororie burning. You lose some factors that help with bodyfat and leanness.

thus, why, I think this guy is talking out his ass and just sounds believable to people not in the know because he sounds so energetic or something.
