Protein: tasteless or Missing Link?

Diabetes Chart:

Most of us equate the word diet with calorie reduction. This is understandable, since most diet marketing is relentlessly focused on gift consumers low-calorie options.

Unfortunately, this way of reasoning is unquestionably wrong. The easy fact that any nutritionist will verify is that everybody is on a diet. Even those who do not wish, or do not need, to lose weight are on a diet, as are those who are addition their weight. Dieting has nothing to do with calorie reduction, and everything to do with fat choices. The foods you 'choose' to eat resolve the type of diet you are on.

Indeed, to the digestive law and the intestines, a candy bar and a stalk of celery are neither seen as junk food nor diet food. They are both seen as simply food. The candy bar leads to a rapid glycemic reaction and the production of fat cells. The celery does not. Still, the body does not label one as junk and the other as diet food. In fact, everything that the body ingests, it tries to use in the best way that it can.

However, exterior the neutral sharp internal body systems, the term diet persists in our often rather misguided external world of advertising, marketing, and diet plans. As such, we can group diets into two categories: deliberate and accidental.

Deliberate diets are designed with specific requirements, such as those engineered to lose weight, to gain weight, and to enounce weight. Deliberate diets are typically what people refer to when they use the catchall term 'diet'. This is in inequity to the other kind of diet that is called the 'accidental diet'. Accidental diets have no requirements, and march to a easy chant: eat whatever, whenever, and the body will take care of itself.

However, despite the fact that there are two terms for diets - deliberate and accidental - there is a denominator that unifies them both: protein. All diets, even those that are accidental, need protein.

Protein, and the amino acids that consist of protein, are vital for life itself. Every law within the body depends, directly or indirectly, on protein. In fact, because protein regulates hormones, some cases of depression or anxiety are unquestionably instigated and perpetuated by either a lack of protein, or the body's inability to fortify its neurological law with this vital macronutrient.

Yet for those on a diet -- and that includes everybody -- the significance of protein is more pragmatic. Many deliberate diets such as the Atkins(Tm) diet and the South Beach Diet(Tm) restrict carbohydrates, while other restrict fats. That leaves protein. Protein is the base link in the middle of all nutritionally-sound diets. But is it also the missing link? Or, is protein easily accessible and easily gift in the foods we eat?

Oddly, most American meals and snacks are protein deficient. Indeed, perfect protein is absent from 6 of the top 10 foods eaten in the Us, and absent from all 10 of the most beloved snacks (see chart at end of article). This shortage of protein in the American diet refers both to the absolute number of protein, which is recommended to be a minimum of 50 grams per day, and the kind of protein as well. The healthiest protein is a "complete protein", which includes all 19 amino acids. However, even people who are ingesting 50 grams of protein may not be eating perfect protein. As such, these people are sometimes unwittingly suffering from some form of protein malnourishment, and palpate symptoms that consist of drowsiness, digestive problems, emotional disorders, and other adverse physiological effects.

So to perform a balanced diet -- regardless of the diet regimen - an proper level of perfect protein must be gift in each meal. This, of course, is easier said than done for most time-starved people. Regrettably, these people are more than time-starved; they are often macronutrient starved, as well.

Pennsylvania-based Protica research has advanced a protein beverage to meet the protein needs of busy consumers, dieters, diabetics, students and others. Profect® is an advanced beverage that supplies 25 grams of protein in less than 3 fluid ounces. It is packaged in an unbreakable test-tube-shaped vial and can be consumed in 2 or 3 seconds. Akin to a multivitamin, Profect can be taken immediately before a snack or a meal to fortify it with 50% of the Us Rdi of protein and the perfect spectrum of water-soluble vitamins.

Profect can turn an otherwise "empty-calorie" snack into a perfect meal. Its macronutrient and micronutrient profile fills the nutritional void found in most meals and snacks. It does this by combining with the carbohydrates and fats ordinarily gift in most foods and thereby completing the 'nutritional trifecta' required by the body for nourishment.

Of course, this is just the first step. A truly healthy diet must also understand how to properly eat the other members of the macronutrient kingdom, including fats and carbohydrates. Actually, since so many diets revolve around the fluctuation of carbohydrates and fats, it is vital to understand how to properly consume these two sources of body fuel in order to perform optimal health. Yet which fats and which carbohydrates reign supreme? Which ones add weight, and which ones unquestionably help the body's metabolism function more effectively? The answers to these questions will be eye occasion to most dieters, and they will form the dieting cornerstone for many consumers. You will find the answers in the second part of this two-part narrative entitled 'The Macronutrient Balancing Act'.
