The Protein Myth

[naturalsux]

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.

but what if you cant process the protein or only get like 30% of it.

and you dont think raw veggies dont fire up the metabolism?

im not saying the guy is right, but he makes some good points.

i believe in protein, but not 2g per lb of body weight.

1. what if you cant process it? Well, I think that would be a problem with the person's unique genetics. IN other words, they are screwed for bodybuilding. lean meats and eggs are very high in bioavailability.

2. raw veggies fire up the metabolism? what kind of veggies?

3. I dont know of anyone besides a select few are truly at elite levels who are not "boatloading protein"
