Exposing the protein myth once and for all.
The LGNAAA Newsletter, featuring
the best in fitness and success tips.
________________________________________________
It seems I’m not alone in the fitness world in my recent
questioning of the sacred “cows” (pun intended!) about
human protein requirements and their optimum sources.
Some well-known and highly respected fitness gurus are not
only asking the same questions, but also experimenting
themselves with alternative amounts and sources of protein
in their diets.
But unfortunately, they’re blowing it big time. There are a
number of reasons for this.
Before I explain, no, I’m not going to name names. These
guys have been solid, dependable sources of excellent
information for a long time, and the real issue here is simply
that they haven’t yet uncovered the truth about the area of
nutrition that they’re currently exploring. I’m confident that
they will.
The first problem is, even though they’re looking correctly
into plant based sources of protein (which, contrary to
widespread misinformation, are far superior, as I’ll prove
below), they’re still stuck in the old model of how much
protein humans need, and trying to force those numbers into
what they believe is available from plant sources.
Which leads to the second misconception. The human body
doesn’t actually need protein as such, it needs the amino
acids that make up protein. Those amino acids are all
available in fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds.
What’s more, since they’re already in the form of amino
acids, they don’t need to be broken down like animal
protein, and are much more easily assimilated by the body.
Because the body doesn’t need to waste energy breaking
down unusable protein into usable amino acids, more
benefit is gained from lower amounts of those amino acids.
And as it turns out, those amounts are provided by nature in
appropriate ratios for humans in fruits, vegetables, nuts and
seeds, in their natural, uncooked form.
Because I’ve had so many questions recently about my
recent dietary change and the obvious amazing results, I’ll
go over a few of the basics again. Bear with me if you’ve
seen some of this already.
Human requirements for protein are highly overestimated,
especially by two influential groups. Why?
Follow the money.
The two groups are agribusiness and bodybuilding
supplement companies, which own and publish all the
fitness and bodybuilding magazines. Both groups want you
to spend as much as possible on meat, dairy, poultry, grains
and so-called muscle building supplements, despite the
proven health problems associated with them.
Here’s a perfect example of the over-estimated need for
protein. Humans are primates and share a very high
percentage of DNA coding with various apes. Apes get the
vast majority of their nutrition from plant sources. But did
you ever see a healthy orangutan, or a chimp – or a gorilla –
that was lacking in muscle mass? Some of the most
powerful creatures on the planet eat relatively little protein,
and they get it from plant sources.
After two months of finally eating like a human, I’ve shed
noticeable body fat and water weight, and I’m more cut and
defined than ever, and amazingly, stronger than ever.
I encourage you to learn more about this major nutritional
breakthrough I’ve experienced by getting yourself a copy of
“The 80-10-10 Diet” by Dr. Douglas Graham.
You’ll learn why some of the other fitness gurus are missing
the mark in their recent experiments, and you’ll learn how
you can avoid their mistakes and enjoy the best health
you’ve ever experienced.
As always, your comments are welcome here on the blog.
Make it a great day.

Chimps hunt, dude. They hunt monkeys. And eat them. Try again.
Do a little research. Chimpanzee hunting represents only 3% of their nutritional intake. It’s not primarily about food, it’s about social hierarchy within the group. Primates rely almost entirely on plant food sources for nutrition and get everything they need. Ever see a gorilla with a muscle mass problem? Bottom line, I’m nearly 62 and I’m VERY strong. Can you beat this?

My results speak for themselves.
In order to study chimps various successive filming teams have been posed with the problem of keeping track of them as they’re naturally shy of humans. One strategy they use is to feed the chimps encouraging them to stay in the area. Once in close contact with humans chimps often copy the humans eating meat (interestingly if often leads to cannibalism within chimp groups).
Interestingly in the last few years some new truly wild chimps who have never before had human contact have been found in the Congo and have been found to be totally vegetarian.
