So most of you have heard you need to eat protein protein and more protein. You have heard to lose weight by supplementing meals with protein or to bulk up with taking in extra protein right? Well the truth is your body doesn't need lots of protein and will just get rid of the extra unwanted protein or stored it as fat!!!
Our body's like to run on carbs and fats. When you tap into your stored protein your body has to break down muscle to get the energy from protein. You don't want your body doing that!!! When you supplement your meals with a protein shake you fill up on the supplement instead of getting real food with nutrients in your body. Total protein in 1 day is a small amount .08g/kg per IDEAL body weight. Extra protein will also put strain extra strain on your kidneys. You can get your daily amount just by eating the right foods.
(Plus a lots of different brands of protein powders have toxins in them which over time will make you sick or keep you from your fitness or health goals!)
I know this is hard for a lot of you to hear but you want to eat more carbs!!! Complex carbs that is like fruits, veggies and whole grains. This is what your body really likes to make energy from. When you don't eat correctly or train your body correctly you can't get the results you are looking for. So remember protein is for muscle recovery so you don't want to take in extra because it will be stored as fat!!!
Salute to living healthier!!!!!
