myths about protein
The following myth is reprinted from Unjury Protein and provides valuable information regarding protein.
“Why it’s a myth:
Protein is essential to every part of your body. When you don’t consume enough protein, your body gets what it needs by taking away more protein from your muscles and organs—to use it for building and repairing elsewhere. Eventually your muscle and organ tissue weaken.
The New York Times "Diagnosis" column1 told the story of a man with severe chest pain who had been on a restrictive diet without medical advice. In the ER, they first thought it was a heart attack, but it wasn’t. It was a case of malnutrition. "Malnutrition can eat away heart muscle." He wasn’t getting enough protein to his heart. The walls of the left side of the man’s heart were thin and weak...painfully, and dangerously weak.” *

Staying on top of your protein is a big deal, I think anyone in a strict diet or in some kind of a regimen, should always stay on top of their protein and nutritional intake. www.bariatricadvantage.com is a great place to look at tons of question and answers and also a great place to get some protein.
Thanks Mike, I agree. Opps I missed that one... I will add them to my link list,
