Simply replace some of your carbs with fresh pineapple or papaya. When I up my protein intake this helps me a lot.
Phil Hernon told me about that.

Not sure that would have the same effect

Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that aids in digestion and bloating. There is less of it but still some on pineapple.

Right but only one enzyme compared to digestive enzyme supplements having different types and higher quantities. Pineapple probably helps some people.

Anyone here who has trouble with a lot of protein (or digestion in general) try digestive enzymes? Any luck with them?

I take Now Super Enzyme caps, don't get the tabs as they cost the same and are lower potency which makes no sense as you can compress the tabs but then again despite being a decent company many of their products look to be formulated....shall we say oddly lol.

There are stronger products out there, Enzymedica Digest Gold, but these are a decent low-cost option and for extreme meals, I just take a couple of extra.

Sharing Justin Harris' post here for everyone - **broken link removed**

I believe that was the flank steak story where Justin was buying a local grocery out of steak every week.

The link is broken. @danieltx Did you happen to save a copy? I believe the diet was mostly flank/rice and waxy maize/protein shakes but I was hoping to read it again.

The much lower supply of protein was one of the reasons why I was unable to return to my former strength and size throughout the last year. As soon as I increased the protein, everything started to come back again. Now I eat about 450g a day and this is the optimal amount for me. My explanation is simple and logical - if we take drugs whose purpose is to increase protein synthesis, what we would have to limit these proteins for, thus blocking the possibility of extracting optimal effects from steroids

Hey @luki7788 whats the highest amount of protein you have went upto in your growing years?
