The main problem with the ingestion of normal protein foods (animal products), which have to be broken down before they can be used, are the by-products of their digestion, which are highly toxic (uric acid being chief among them). You do not have that problem with the green foods, because the 'protein' is already broken down into its constituent components. This is why the green foods have been called 'nature's own steroids', because they provide the absolute best form of protein for building healthy tissue (skin, sinew, muscle, tendon, etc etc etc). Do not worry, Edith. If you ingested an entire container every day, you would still have no problem with it, you would just be wasting it (your body only needs so much nutrition, and the rest is eliminated) - unless, of course, you were highly toxic, in which case you might have some cleansing reactions. -- Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2001 Report Share Posted May 28, 2001 Hey all, I noticed someone mentioned that they make a shake with protein powder and save it for a couple of days. You should keep in mind, that many of these proteins will break down if not consumed immediately and it is recommended that you only prepare enough to drink right away. Also soy milk is alot easier for many folks who cannot tolerate milk and the vanilla flavor (Vitasoy is my favorite) takes the edge off of the bean taste, great over cereal or in smoothies. Finally, don't forget good old tuna and peanut butter or nuts. All are a good source of protein. Good luck, Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Hello all, First, I am sorry to hear of the troubles some of you are having, I know that I too have been very slow the last 3 months. Jon, I am going to have to kick your ass, because we were neck and neck and you have shot ahead me by leaps and bounds. I am working out, but not dieting. I try to eat well and just started on the protein thing regularly, but it is very frustrating. I just have to be happy that I have lost 65 pounds so far...I cannot imagine where I would be without the surgery. Second, congrats to all of you who are doing so well and reaching milestones. I am so happy for you! Anyway, the reason I am writing is that I have been reading alot about folks having trouble with the protein shake and I can identify. The first stuff I bought was so horrible that even thinking about it now makes me want to gag. So I held off for awhile until I found the Vitalady.com site. I strongly encourage all of you to check it out. She sells samples so you can find one you like before you commit to purchasing a whole bunch of it. My search was tough because I wanted one without artificial sweetners or sugar. I found several options with Stevia and have now purchased three different types that I can alternate. They are low in carbs and low in sugar and each scoop is 27g protein. I am serious...check it out now and get some samples. I admit I got several I did not like, but did not have to buy a whole container before I realized it. Good luck all, Mara 11/22/00 -65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Mara, 65 lbs. is nothing to sneeze at. You're doing great! Can I help it if I'm male and lose quicker? (By the way, I have the sense I've settled into my first lengthy plateau; time will tell.) Congrats and continued success, Your bud, Jon > Hello all, > First, I am sorry to hear of the troubles some of you are having, I know > that I too have been very slow the last 3 months.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 We use Unipro's Perfect Protein, vanilla, made by Metagenics. Its ingredients are pure and clean and it is very low carbo. It costs a bit more but the quality is well worth the extra expense. jules wrote: > Can anyone suggest a good protein powder/supplement/source? I don't > get enough protein.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 I just bought some whey protein powder at my health food store, I have no idea if it's very good or not, but it does have less arginine than lysine and that is important to me. My health food store only had rice protein powders or whey protein powders. Is rice a complete protein? I thought you had to mix it with beans......... >At 03:25 AM 6/9/2001 -0400, you wrote: > >>Can anyone suggest a good protein powder/supplement/source? I don't >>get enough protein.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 Ken, I have been told this by several Dr.s when we go over my diet, I always forget to get protein in, most protein foods seem so heavy to me, I seem to have an aversion to protein. I just had a bioresonance hair test done which showed blood sugar imbalance (I used to be hypoglycemic, maybe I am again). Recently I have been so stressed and hence eating lots of sugar. Sugar is my worst enemy, I am even highly allergic to it in addition to all the other bad affects of sugar. The two most important things for straightening out the blood sugar problem is 1) avoid sugar 2) eat some protein every 3 hours. It was not a blood test, but I have no doubt that I have blood sugar problems. >s > >What makes you think you need more protein.?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 My wife has a real aversion to protein. She get a blood test every 4 months to check various chemical levels, i.e. iron, protein, sodium ect. The past two blood exams have been okay. Her primary source of protein comes from oatmeal and non-fat organic yogurt. Other sources of protein comes from bee pollen, eggs, rice milk, rice, and lentils. She also takes 6 tablets of SEACURE and spiruliana. She also drinks 7 glasses of green vegetable/apple juice and 5 glasses of apple carrot juice. Also eats two raw spinach salads a day. In the past, she had a real problem of keeping her iron and protein levels within the normal range. I think the Seacure and the spirulina have been real helpful. She goes for another blood test over the 4 the of July so we will see. When it comes to nutrition most MD's are clueless. Find an alternative doctor or health practioner.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 I have a bottle of Seacure sitting in my cabinet that was sold to me by a doctor. It was horrendously expensive and I did not seem to tolerate it? One is to take 6 pills a day and six pills provides 2 g of protein which is only 1% of a 2,000 calorie diet. Surely that is not enough protein? It also contains " natural flavoring " . Hmmmm, wonder just what that might be? MSG?? :0 Should contact the company and find out.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 A really excellent one I know of that is not soy based is called SeaCure. It is white fish that has been enzymatically processed and is " predigested " so to speak. It contains all the omega oils in the fish and is a really remarkable product. So a web search on Seacure and see what you find. I have seen stories of people with crohns disease getting well on seacure, as well as many other diseases. Considering the recent info that was posted on the fact that protein powders cause calcium loss, I would recommend Seacure over any other capped protein source.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Hi , Well, knowing that, I would highly recommend that you research the Seacure that I mentioned before. It is supposed to be wonderful for balancing sugar levels.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 That's interesting Donna. I can feel quite hyper after breakfast if I'm not careful what I eat. I'm usually adding brazil nuts, cashews or almonds to my muesli and yoghurt - just to bump up the protein and fat content.
