High Protein Diet Plans: Gaining Mass Effectively

Protein is an essential foundation for the body's systemic function and physical build up. Basically, protein is the main component of animal cells, which clearly defines protein as an important factor in body system functions. High protein dietary plan is greatly encouraged for those who want to burn fats but gain more mass as well. High protein diet plans are pretty popular for body builders and people who want to enhance muscle built for a more tones body shape.

Although there are also several reasons why people tend to resort to high protein diet plans, majority of them are just trying to boost their image. Perhaps, tired of the flab and wanting to gain more muscles and sculptured body shape. High protein diet plans are also indicated for people who have decreased tissue restoration capability. High protein diet plans are not just merely eating a lot of meat, which are rich in protein, daily. In fact, there are several ways to attain high protein meals without the consumption of too much meat at all.

Whey is one of the most helpful factors in high protein diet plans. Whey protein is derived from dairy products which are eventually filtered and processed to eliminate fats and retain protein content. Eating excessive meat is not advisable for high protein dietary plan, meat are rich in saturated fats which is pretty harmful to the body. Saturated fats are the main culprit for most cardiovascular diseases. To prevent this while promoting a high protein dietary plan, the use and consumption of other protein substitute like Whey is very helpful and effective.

Protein replacement from plant sources such as soy is pretty popular. Aside from containing a lot of protein, it has zero fats, which a great way to feed your muscles and tissues while getting rid of the fat. High protein diet plans are done in a lot of methods, some would include protein shakes, high protein meals and other essential supplements to sustain the lacking substances from the high protein dietary plan. Meat is pretty much discouraged from high protein diet, not only it has greater fat content but it also takes longer digestion which results to slower absorption.

The main essential fact about high protein dietary plan is to incorporate it with workouts. The reason behind the selection of protein substitute is that they are easily digested and absorbed by the body. Due to this, the protein is instantly used during workouts. Meat protein will take slower to be processed and absorbed so it may be too late to be used as a fuel for muscles during workout. High protein diet plans are usually complimented with a serious and expert-guided workout in order to attain the great outcome.

Getting a great body shape and beautiful muscle built with workout is pretty much one of the biggest fads now a day, the use of high protein dietary plan is highly recommended. Using hormones to increase muscle mass is now pretty much discourage because it can cause serious complications. Gaining mass with high protein diet plans is a good way to enhance image while keeping your health safe and optimal.

3 So-Called "Healthy" Foods that You Should STOP Eating (if you want a lean healthy body)


Please share this article with your friends and family on email, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, forums, etc...

A reading of a book of statistics in nutrition will certainly shock you ...
Currently before I tell you the statistic, let's keep an important fact in mind... according to well popular nutrition author Michael Pollan, and his amazing book called InDefense of Food, humankind has historically consumed approximately 80,000 different species of edible plants, animals, and fungi, and approximately 3,000 of those have been widespread foods of the human diet.

Now get ready for a shocking and appalling statistic...

At present, the average adult eating a typical modern western diet in countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, etc consumes approximately 67% of their total caloric intake from only 3 foods -- CORN, SOY, AND WHEAT (and their derivatives).

What would be considered a reasonably healthy amount of corn, soy, and wheat in the human diet?  Based on 10's of thousands of years of human history, and what the natural diet of our ancestors was (indicating what our digestive systems are still programmed to process), this would probably be in the range of about 1% to 5% MAX of our total calories from corn, soy, and wheat.

Considering that modern humans are eating 67% of their total calories from corn, soy, wheat... you can see why we have massive problems in our health, and our weight!

It's not a wonder that we have so many intolerances and allergies; specifically to soy and wheat (and gluten intolerance)... the human digestive system was simply never meant to consume these substances in such MASSIVE quantities.

Keep in mind that these massively high levels of corn, soy, and wheat in our modern human diet is a relatively new phenomenon that originated from the economics of the multi-billion dollar corn, soy, and wheat industries.  It really HAS been all about the money... NOT about our health!

By "derivatives" of corn, soy, and wheat, this means the food additives such as:
    high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
    corn oil
    soybean oil (hydrogenated or plain refined)
    soy protein
    refined wheat flour
    hundreds of other food additives such as maltodextrin, corn or wheat starch, soy lecithin, mono and diglycerides, etc, etc
This doesn't surprise me... consider how much soda or other sweetened drinks (with loads of HFCS) that the average person drinks daily... this is a LOT of calories from just 1 sole corn derivative.  Even marinades, salad dressings, ketchup, breads, and 100's of other foods contain loads of belly-fattening HFCS!

Also think about how many processed foods we have that are either fried in soybean or corn oil... and even if the foods are not fried in these oils, these oils are additives to nearly all processed food... chips, candies, cakes, salad dressings, tomato sauces, burrito wraps, corn chips, breaded chicken, etc, etc.  This is a LOT of calories from these 2 other corn and soy derivatives... both of them EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY!

In addition to this, think about how much breads, cereals, pastas, muffins, and other highly processed wheat products that most people consume each day.  Again, this is LOADS of unhealthy, blood-sugar spiking, nutrient-poor calories, that more than half of the population has some degree of intolerance to nevertheless.

It gets even worse!

Not only are we eating 67% of our total calories from corn, soy, and wheat... but because of the economics involved (specifically with cheap corn and soy) we are also feeding most of our farm animals corn and soy now too... again amplifying the amount of corn and soy that passes through the food chain and (from a biochemical standpoint) ends up in our bodies.

Probably the 2 worst examples of this blatant mismanagement of our food supply is how our factory farmed chickens and cows are fed.

Cows are fed mostly corn in factory feedlot farms, even though their digestive systems are only meant to eat grass and other forage. This makes the cows sick (hmm... E-coli anyone?), alters the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of the fats to unhealthy levels, and also diminishes the healthy CLA fats that would occur naturally in grass-fed beef.  All of these problems go away if our cows are fed what they were made to eat naturally - grass!

Our chickens are also fed a diet of mostly corn and soy and crowded in tight pens in horrendous conditions... when the fact is that a chicken was meant to roam around the outdoors eating a mixture of greens, insects, worms, seeds, etc.  When chickens are kept inside in tight quarters and fed only grains, it leads to an unhealthy meat for you to eat, and less healthy eggs compared to free-roaming chickens allowed to eat an outdoors diet.

Our food supply has gotten so screwed up that we're even feeding our salmon and other farmed fish corn and soy...again because of the economics involved.  How ludicrous is this, considering that fish are meant to eat a diverse diet of smaller fish, worms, bugs, etc.  Again this makes farm raised fish unhealthy in terms of nutrition compared to the wild counterparts.  If you want to see something even scarier about farm-raised fish, watch this quick video about the toxic fish you might be buying.
 
 

So even when you're eating chicken, beef, and fish, you're still essentially getting even MORE corn and soy into your body...considering that the cows, chickens, and farmed fish ate mostly soy and corn.

So it's actually WORSE than just 67% isn't it!

Why is it so unhealthy to consume 2/3rds of our calories from corn, soy, and wheat?

Well, this section could include an entire book, so to keep this short; I'll just throw out a few arbitrary reasons...

    Skews the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats in our diet to as high as 30:1, when a ratio of 1:1 to 2:1 is considered healthy.
    Problems with gluten intolerance (allied to heavy wheat consumption)
    Problems with weight gain, blood-sugar swings, and reduced insulin sensitivity (and progression of diabetes) due to excessive refined corn and wheat flours, as well as HFCS in our diet
    Soy and corn are the most genetically modified crops (which also allows more pesticides and herbicides to be used, which are usually "xenoestrogens")
    Many of the pesticide and herbicide residues in these crops are xenoestrogens, which can increase "obstinate" belly fat
    Soy products and derivatives contain a double-whammy of xenoestrogens as well as phytoestrogens... again creating an environment in your body for fat storage, carcinogenic effects, and even "man boobs" for some men in very severe cases
    The feeding of corn and soy to animals reduces the health and nutritional benefits of those animal products
    and the list could go on and on and on...

So how do you shun all of this overwhelming amount of corn, soy, and wheat in our food supply, and finally take control of your weight and your health?

1. Don't purchase processed foods!  It all starts with your grocery cart discipline... choose only 1-ingredient foods such as fruits, veggies, beans, eggs (free roaming), nuts, seeds, and meats from grass-fed or free roaming animals that are raised correctly.  Only resort to junk foods or processed foods on a 1-day per week "cheat day" but ONLY when dining out... that way, the processed foods aren't in your house to tempt you.

2. Get most of your carbs from fruits and veggies instead of grains.
3.  Avoid store bought salad dressings as they almost always contain soybean oil and HFCS (instead, try my homemade healthy salad dressinghomemade healthy salad dressing .

4. Make sure that your tomato sauces don't have HFCS and soybean oils... look for sauces made with olive oil instead.  Remember to avoid unhealthy canola oils too unhealthy canola oils too!

5. If you like guacamole (one of the healthiest snacks on the planet!), try veggie sticks with guacamole instead of genetically-modified, oil-soaked corn chips.
6. If you like hummus, try veggies sticks with hummus instead of pita chips or other bread.

7. Reduce your cereal, bread, and pasta intake by having these foods only on "cheat days" and stick to more of the 1-ingredient foods I mentioned in #1 above.  Try some of these healthysnacks as good alternatives (yes, I know that one of the 13 snacks on there has

I could go on with more examples, but I think that's good for now.

Thus with all of this said... Is my diet perfect?  Well, no of course not!  Nobody is perfect, and I can give in to temptation on occasion just like anybody else.

Nevertheless, I'd estimate that my corn/soy/wheat consumption is only about 2-4% of my total caloric intake compared to 67% for the average person.  The method that I achieve this is to simply not bring any corn, soy, or wheat products into my house, so I'm never tempted by it.  Therefore, at least 6 days/week, I eat virtually no corn/soy/wheat, except for the occasional piece of sprouted grain toast a couple times a week (which is a better option than typical "whole grain" bread).

I do, Nonetheless, give in and At times eat breads, pasta, and even corn chips, etc. when I'm restaurant meals.  I see these as my cheat meals and try to do this no more than once per week.  I still completely eliminate sodas and deep fried foods though...they are just TOO evil!

This is one of the MAJOR reasons that we are so unhealthy and overweight as a society... 67% of our calories from just 3 foods (and their derivatives) is an appalling statistic!  Don't give in to the marketing machine that is the corn, soy, and wheat industries!  Take control of your OWN health instead of letting big corporations take control of your health.

3 Vegetables fighting Abdominal Fat

A unique way that a few specific vegetables can actually stimulate the burning of abdominal fat...
Flat sexy absI bet you didn't know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against stubborn belly fat.
Let me explain what these unique vegetables are and why they help to burn stomach fat...

Chemicals that force your body to hold onto belly fat

Something you may have never heard about is that certain chemicals in our food supply and our milieu, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from air and water pollution, household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can react with your body and make your body store excess abdominal fat.
These chemicals are known as xenoestrogens.
Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to (and are hard to take avoiding action in the modern world) that have an estrogenic effect in your body.  Excess exposure to these can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.
These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems (including cancer risks in the long term).

So here's where this specific class of vegetables comes in handy...

One of these cool tricks teach to clients that charge you for nutrition counseling is the use of cruciferous vegetables to help fight against stomach fat.
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain very specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds...
And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this is just 1 more step in helping you to win the battle against abdominal fat!
So there you go... just another excuse to do what mom always told you and eat more broccolis!

Do you like Brussels sprouts? ... Melt a bit of grass-fed cheese on them and a little garlic and they are great!
We'll show you 12 other specific foods, teas, spices, etc. that help fight against the xenoestrogens and can help you burn bell 3 Vegetables fighting Abdominal Fat
