Dietary protein consumption
Society seems to be obsessed with
protein consumption, everywhere you go somebody seems to tell you how
important it is to consume sufficient protein and the worst thing
about it is that everyone seems to be of the opinion the it is
necessary for your health to consume meat on a daily basis.
Despite the fact that we live in a
scientifically advanced world the general public is still very much
in the dark ages when it comes to logic and scientific thinking.
People who advocating the importance of daily meat eating always have
the following argument. If you regularly consume large quantities of meat you will develop healthy
muscles. The logic of eat muscle to build muscle seems to be the
dominating this thought pattern.
I am here to tell you that this is
absolute bogus. It is nothing more than mutually shared ignorance
amongst members in our society. In fact this is the perfect moment
where I would like to mention a couple of other bogus ideas humans
have had over the years. The following examples are just as bad and
ignorant as the previous one. Te only difference is that because the
general public is now a bit more educated about them that they make
good examples of just how weird and and wrong such ideas are, the
ridiculousness of it all is truly staggering.
If you eat lots of brain you get smart,
In fact if you eat the brain of a genius you to will become a genius.
And it certainly takes a special kind of genius to even come up with
such a stupid theory. Yes you catch my drift if you are small you have
to eat things that
are big and if you need courage you have to eat the heart of someone
who is brave. Use that logic when you're balding ask your local
hairdresser if you could have he's hair clippings use these clippings
in your favourite recipes and your hair will start growing again. In
fact there are places on this earth where people eat the genitals of
exotic animals in the believe that it will make their own genitalia
bigger and hornier. God sometimes I wonder why I have to share this
world with people that have such sick ideas.
Everything you have just read is of
course false even dough primitive cultures al over the world would
have had simplistic superstitious believes of one sort or another
similar to those mentioned above. Reality is quiet different, yes
some protein composed with al the essential amino acids are required
in order to build and maintain muscles. Excessive amounts however are
bad for your health. Primarily it is toxic to your kidneys. Muscle
bulk is much more determined by hormones stimulus trough exercise and
total caloric intake as well as genetics. We know that grass for
instance has virtually no protein. Grass is also the the primary food
consumed by a bull. Bulls have large muscle bulk and even more so if
that bull happens to be a Belgian blue. The non-functional myostatin
gene In the Belgian blue demonstrates that in this case it is the
genes that are the cause of he's large muscle bulk and it is amazing
to see that al this bulk is created with a diet that contains so
little protein relative to the animals size and the quantity of food
consumed. Also The gorilla is well known for he's incredible strength.
gorillas are vegetarians that consume meager amounts of protein.
The point I'm getting at is even if you
are not a vegetarian you still are very capable of building
significant muscle bulk without the use of excessive protein. What
you really need in order to build muscles is a anabolic environment
and one of the most anabolic hormones found in the human body is
testosterone. There are certain things that can be done in order to
increase testosterone levels. Intense workouts lasting no more than
45 minutes using heavy compound exercises will rise ones testosterone
level. And here comes the surprising news a Penn State study has
found that there is a relationship between high protein consumption
and a decrease in testosterone productions. If this study is correct
and I believe this to be the case you should ask yourselves this
simple question would you rather have low testosterone and a lot of
protein sitting in your stomach at quantity's so high that it can not
even be utilised and eventually wind up suffering from kidney damage.
Or would you rather have high testosterone and fully utilize a small
quantity of protein and I tell you it is the testosterone that will
put these proteins were you want them.
If you are a bodybuilder consuming 2
grams of Protein or more you are overdoing it. 1.5 Grams per kilo of
bodyweight is sufficient in fact even one gram will get the job done.
I know I have strayed in to the topic of bodybuilding but I do find
it very appropriate that I have done so because if a small amount of
protein is sufficient to sustain a bulky bodybuilder it should more
than prove my point that an even smaller amount is needed for an
ordinary everyday person. On top of that It is worth mentioning that
the protein you do consume does not have to be from a meat source. I
discourage the consumption of meat. The meat industry is cruel and
evil. I can express nothing but my deepest hateful thoughts to those
who allow and support such behaviour. All essential amino acids are
present in dairy products. Many plants do not have all essential
amino acids but if you eat a variety of plants with different amino
acids you can get all essential amino acids from plant sources.
Eating a low protein diet will not hurt ones muscle development in
fact if you are a bodybuilder you could benefit from cutting back on
protein. Spare a thought for the animals that have to suffer
agonizing lifes and deaths and stop eating meat. Chose dairy products
carefully and eat free-range eggs.
Kaiser thanks you for no longer eating meat
The Kaiser also thinks that stupid people should
keep their stupid opinions to themselves
