| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Burg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.8 | Burg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:21.3 | You know, a protein is not really a protein. |
| 0:24.8 | Now what am I talking about? |
| 0:26.2 | A protein is not a protein. |
| 0:28.2 | There's a few confusions related to this topic that I want to clear up because I keep |
| 0:32.8 | running into them over and over and over. |

| 1:15.0 | getting double the amount that I really need, right? |
| 1:18.9 | Now, because there's two things, we have the weight of the steak, okay? |
| 1:23.9 | And then you have the amount of protein in the steak, two different things. |
| 1:28.2 | Because the actual protein in that beef is only 26 grams, not 100 grams. |
| 1:32.7 | And now you're saying, well, wait a second, I thought it's kind of just pure protein, |
