Increasing your protein intake can have profound effects on the quality of your physique. Although many nutritionists advocate moderation when it comes to protein consumption, one look at the myriad of fitness models and bodybuilders whom all exceed the standard dogma for protein intake will have you question the soundness of their recommendations. Athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone who trains physically in some shape or form must increase the amount of protein they take in, not only because it will help build muscle and improve performance, but also for health and well-being. Protein heals, protein makes you grow, protein helps aid in fat loss. Many people who’ve trained for years with below average results are often dismayed at the progress they receive when their protein intake is elevated to that of an athlete. Many times years of stagnation can be attributed to low consumption of protein and amino acids. The media has played a rather large role in the minds of consumers in terms of
protein requirements. The association of high fat, high cholesterol diets has swayed the general public and ultimately given protein a bad rap. While many high protein foods bring with them large amounts of unwanted saturated fat and calories, there are many more sources that can provide quality protein without all the negative constituents.
While the FDA and standard nutritionist paradigms evoke a moderate protein, high carbohydrate, low fat diet, the fitness industry as a whole recognizes a much different design as to the makeup of nutrition partitioning. Fitness experts, bodybuilders, and the like all agree that at least 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass should be ingested if positive results from training are warranted. Many professional athletes consume much more. Stress from training causes trauma to the muscloskeletal system along with inroads to the immune system. The body needs ample amounts of the raw materials required in order to repair such damage and for the recovery process to take place. The human body has the ability to manufacture most amino acids itself but requires nine others from an outside source. Without these nine "
essential amino acids" being replaced on a consistent basis you would die. Your body simply cannot function without them. With this in mind, sources containing complete proteins are paramount to any effective dietary program.
Many researchers, university studies, and athletes are beginning to change the general public’s ideals of protein consumption. Even popular weight loss programs are starting to take advantage of an elevated protein intake for both fat loss and health. Protein should not be shunned but embraced by anyone wanting to boost his or her performance physically. The results of any type of fitness program will increase parallel to the amount of protein consumed. While there is an upper limit to measure of protein to be taken in, anyone can benefit from an increase of this vital nutrient. By experimenting you’ll be able to find the amount of protein most suitable to you and your goals.
