Fueling Growth: The Surprising Impact of High Protein Breakfasts and Height Development
Good morning, champions of wellness, fitness enthusiasts, and everyone curious about the intricate dance between diet, growth, and personal achievement! Today, we’ve got a powerhouse topic that’s going to feed both your mind and your muscle – the undeniable connection between high-protein breakfasts, and the science of growing tall, not just in stature but in life.
Embarking on a journey of self-improvement often starts with simple choices, like choosing a steak for breakfast after a demanding workout session. Opting for a high-protein meal isn’t just indulgence; it’s a strategic step towards nourishing the body in a way that supports muscular growth and recovery. But more than the immediate gains, this habit signals a larger conversation about health, food choices, and their long-term implications on our physical development.
When we sit at the crossroads of diet and growth, it’s fascinating to explore how these choices don’t just affect our waistlines but can influence our height. The science behind height growth is a tapestry of genetics and lifestyle. While the genetic lottery certainly plays a pivotal role, environmental factors such as diet, especially in our developmental years, have a significant impact too. The journey towards attaining our full height potential is peppered with factors ranging from nutritional intake to disease and even socioeconomic status.
Diving deeper, historical and contemporary studies illuminate how nutritional and health conditions during childhood can cast a long shadow over one’s eventual height. The intriguing part? While towering figures of the past signal robust health and access to nourishing diets, today’s landscape presents a nuanced picture. In developed nations like the USA, the stark inequalities in height due to malnutrition have largely faded, yet the discussion around height, success, and societal perception remains as relevant as ever.
The stereotype that taller individuals lead more successful and fulfilling lives is a narrative that’s deeply rooted yet evolving. It’s a narrative punctuated by insights from historical instances of nutritional scarcity to current analyses that debunk the correlation between height and personal achievement in the context of developed societies. The dialogue beckons us to re-evaluate old stereotypes in light of new research, opening avenues for a more inclusive understanding of success and personal worth beyond physical attributes.
In this enriching exploration, it’s crucial to acknowledge reputable sources that pave the way for our understanding, from scientific journals like ScienceDirect to PubMed, each offering a wealth of knowledge on the intricate dynamics of growth, health, and nutrition. Their rigorous research provides a backbone to our discussion, underscoring the importance of well-informed choices and debunking myths with hard evidence.
Moreover, embracing financial health through tools like Rocket Money becomes part of a holistic approach to living well.

In conclusion, the dance between diet, growth, and achieving our personal best is a multifaceted journey that transcends the breakfast table. It’s about making informed choices, grounded in research and self-awareness, that nourish not only our bodies but also our ambitions. As we continue to challenge norms and enrich our understanding of what it means to grow, in every sense, let’s embrace the power of knowledge, nutrition, and personal finance to sculpt not just a taller, but a fuller, richer life.

Remember, the essence of growth lies not in the height we achieve but in the richness of our experiences and the depth of our understanding. Keep growing, in every direction.
I went to live in the US when I was 24 years old after my first year I was 1 1/2 cm (0.5 inch) taller. I was 185 cm tall when I arrived and later I was 187 cm tall. I think it was the growth hormone residues from the meat in the US.
omg ive never heard anyone else mention lindybeige
As someone who is 6’7”, I think to gain the tall success thing, you also have to show signs of confidence and strength. That’s probably one of the reasons why this happens is because tall people often have confidence and stability in who they are. I think ANYONE can have this type of energy. I’ve met some people who are under 5’ tall who carry themselves great and don’t feel the need to comment on height.
I get asked EVERY SINGLE DAY what it’s like to be me, and I’m not even THAT tall. You don’t mention any of the downsides of being tall. Yes abnormal height may come with abnormal success, (I haven’t necessarily found that), it also comes with really abnormal attention from everyone else. Sometimes not in a positive way.
Wow, so many insecure trolls with unrealistic body images. Now imagine how harsh they are to women!
15:48 "Least athletic body on YouTube" is the compliment of you being athletic, that's how the meme work.
Preach! Somewhere along the line all the modern trend-following normie women got it in their head that any man under 6' is undesirable as a mate and now they wonder why everyone lies about their height on dating apps.
Please a collab with lindybeige🥺- know its propably not possible but omg would sell my soul for it
I totally forgot about Lindybeige, stopped watching cuz he seemed kinda racist to me, but in a ‘I’m not racist, I have ** friends type.’
I have given up for years on getting fit (been over 300-330 since i was 14, almost 30 years now) or healthy due to the whole tall people preference paranoia as well as my medical conditions. I know its silly but a lot of the time I felt like it wouldn't matter because I would just be mocked for being short and fit as a 'manlet' instead of doing things for myself.
I came from a lowish (parents worked really hard) income Native American Mexican home that just shoveled food in our faces that was full of oils fats and cholesterol.
Even after leaving my home I still struggle living a healthy productive life for myself because I always feel like my body won't take to healthy foods. I hope I can one day understand my body and learn how to keep a consistent healthy diet and exercise without my body turning on me all the time or poverty ruining me. I hope it gets better
I think the argument that size is helpful in heat retention seems far fetched because the best form to retain heat is an object that is as ball shaped as possible and secundarilly also as massive as possible. Being tall doesn't seem to get you anywhere closer to being ball shaped and everything else being equal being heavier but less ball shaped seems worse, idk
i think a lot of that "in the middle ages it was like this and like that" is misguided. i wished you would fact check those assumptions more.
The term short king is offensive to me, I cant be a king like all the other men, I have to be in a seperate but equal category but if I say it bothers me Im an insecure loser, a tall man shares his feelings and hes so emotionally mature
if you are tall, you are tall, if you are medium height, you are short, if you are short, you are tiny 🙂
Lindybeige has/had some nuclear hot takes back in the day that quite likely would have fallen into "cancel territory' had be been bigger and had they came out later. I phrase it that way to be comical but they're not just contrarian/hot takes they're 'unkind' takes including some pretty misogynistic ones. Having said that I've actually watched his channel over the years and I have seen genuine and profound growth in him as a person so it would be unfair of me to sit here and say he's awful as a person. It's very hard to know someone's true beliefs but I think people can grow and change so I'm willing to offer him the benefit of the doubt, especially since he is typically very open to discussion (and I do actually like him and his content, I just try to take that off the table when considering the validity of someone's actions)
Bruh I literally got an ad for height developing milk while watching this
aye i love lindybeige too
Height used to be an indicator of health and ability, but maybe the opposite now is becoming true. Shorter men need to try harder if they want to compete with tall men in the dating market, which no doubt leads some to really cultivate themselves in ways taller men don't need to in order to get a date. If a girl just wants an empty body she can take a taller man, but if she wants a man who's well rounded and has depth to his personality and can keep her satisfied on an emotional level, she'll go for a shorter man.
LINDYBEIGE GOT A SHOUTOUT
I had to check if this video was playing on 1x speed because Adam was moving like lightning at the beginning
Man, I live in France and I felt the earthshake when you dropped the mic at the end
Iam 5.6 and I do not give a F about other opinion,, with all global problems the person hight would be the last interest to worrie about!
❤
I actually think normal might be a wrong assessment of your body. You do a good amount of weight training and the average person does not exercise that much.
This is an interesting topic. But there are some massive gaps in the evidence you're drawing upon. I'd note that modern Westerners are only now regaining the average height that was typical during the Paleolithic era, when blubbery megafauna was the mainstay of the human diet. Even during the colonial era, the relatively tall George Washington (6'2''-6'3.5''; 6 in taller than the average American male at the time) was dwarfed by the representatives of a delegation from the Plains Indians.
But maybe more significantly, these native Americans were observed as having massive head size. That was also true of Paleolithic humans. Modern Westerners have not yet regained that head size, which is to say our brains are still smaller and hence indicating certain areas of malnutrition remain common. So our tall bodies are out of proportion with small heads and brains. Mere tallness by itself is not necessarily an indicator of optmal diet, nutrition, and health.
As part of the Standard American Diet (SAD), it is the high protein intake that depletes a limited vitamin A intake, as this micronutrient is involved in protein utilization. An early diet that is high in protein but low in animal fat is the cause. Morell writes, "The results–tall, myopic, lanky individuals with crowded teeth and poor posture–a kind of Ichabod Crane syndrome–are a fixture in America." Fat-soluble vitamins are super important, as shown in Dr. Weston A. Price's research.
By the way, though the American colonists were known as the healthiest and tallest population in the Western world, the Plains Indians remained among the healthiest and tallest, along with the longest lived, populations in the entire world all the way up to their finally being subjugated and put on a Western diet. Until that happened, they were eating a diet that was mostly fatty ruminant meat such as buffalo, not all that different from the diet common in the Paleolithic era.
You really should look into the fat-soluble vitamins. A good starting place, for a historical perspective, is Dr. Price's book published in 1939. That was the decade when, in the American diet, seed oils replaced animal fats as the main fatty acid. To get an update, turn to the nutritionist Mary Ruddick who has followed in his footsteps by traveling the world to study the last remaining healthy traditional populations and those in transition.
This brings us to the issue of hormones and the endocrine system. Vitamin D3 is literally a hormone, while others like vitamin A (retinol), vitamin K2, and vitamin E complex merely act like hormones in regulating numerous systems. Vitamin K2 was discovered by Dr. Price. It determines where calcium is directed and hence determines full and healthy bone development, although bone is also made of protein. Other animal-based nutrients like taurine are also master regulators.
Even as modern Westerners have finally caught up with the height lost from the agricultural revolution, the average individual still has bone underdevelopment and maldevelopment, as was uncommon prior to agriculture: underbites, crowded and crooked teeth, narrow jaw, narrowly set eyes, thin bones, narrow caved-in chest, narrow shoulders, narrow hips, pigeon-toes, etc. Plus, as we age, osteoporosis is still more common now. We have worse bone development and we maintain it less.
Bone structure is simply the outward form and hence most obvious indicator of overall nutrition and health. If the bones don't develop correctly, then much else probably also has gone wrong in the body. For example, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been linked to deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins, particularly vitamin A and vitamin D3. And those on the ASD have higher risks for other illnesses, health conditions, and developmental issues: learning disorders, mood disorders, Alzheimer's, microbiome dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, etc.
All combined, the undeniable conlcusion is that we can't use greater height as a sign of greater overall health and development. Quite the opposite, in many cases such as lankiness. Indeed, Dr. Price and Ruddick both found a strong correlation between nutritious diet, full physical development, low infection and paraste rates, mental health, and what Dr. Price called 'moral health' (pro-social behavior: kindness, friendliness, helpfulness, forgiving, etc). It goes without saying that these people were on average taller but not lanky.
