Stefi Cohen kicked off the video by stating that people in America are not taking in enough protein. As she says, “ If you’re bummed about the way you look then listen up. The media has scared us away from high protein diet because of misinterpreted research on kidney function, cholesterol, and saturated fats.” She explains the aftermath of what has happened by saying that our diet does not have nutrition in it. As a result of this, there is an increase in diseases like diabetes and obesity with almost no change in the rate of heart disease. Furthermore, she explained that a person needed to consume one gram per pound of their body weight worth of protein. Hence, she advises her followers to consume at least 20 to 30 grams of protein per meal.

Moreover, she penned in her post, “In fact, the average American diet is HEAVILY deficient in protein, which is arguably the most important component of your diet. Thus, according to Dr. Cohen, high protein intake will even help one perform better.
