Protein, protein, and more protein! That is how you gain muscle and burn fat, right? Well, that statement is correct technically...But there is so much more to it! The obsession over protein has been looked at as a positive health epidemic in the last couple of decades, at least thats what we were taught to believe. Protein is vital, and absolutely a key part of a clean diet...But it is not everything. Let's get into to the details, this has been a pressing issue many people are unsure about. Education is key, let us guide you through it.
When the protein obsession caught fire, people got healthier, lived longer, and the rate of sickness due to bad diet went down dramatically! Well, not exactly... Once the meat and dairy industry got ahold of the news, their marketing began to flood the markets. This caused a chain reaction, leading us to believe it was the most important part of our diet(except for sugar, considering the FDA has clarified it under at least 56 different names. No Joke.). Meat proteins are not exactly what the doctor should have ordered, considered they do not convert well with the human body...Have you ever looked at the teeth of a lion? The King of the jungle, natural predator, and born meat eater. Notice the animals internal organs and especially the digestive system. The two are completely different in size and shape, allowing them to digest meat easier. Then there is the arguement of not being able to get enough protein from plants...Seriously people? Have you ever seen what a gorilla eats?
When eating for health, you need more than just protein. There is both micro and macro nutrients in which the body needs to properly fuction and its highest level. Granted, we do believe protein is important...there is more to a diet than protein. Listed below are non dairy, meat free protein sources for you guys to utilize into your diet plan!
