For every age, family and
especially active people trying to stay active, healthy and independent
It always amazes me when we at
dotFIT get to repeat something we told the world since the beginning, and while
our practitioners continue to get the proper message out to our ever-growing
client base. These loyalists, who by the way are the healthiest, have always
followed the recommendations. Now the rest of the world is listening and
acting. Not only because of the sudden health message, but also because
acquiring quality protein is becoming difficult and expensive during this
uncertain time.
The good news is that the highest
quality protein on the planet is readily available, inexpensive, and convenient
and should have been a component of everyone’s meal planning in the first
place.
So here we get to go again. Using
a correctly formulated “protein food mix” (yes, it’s food!) for up to 1/3 of
your daily caloric intake to make sure you get the proper amount of protein. At
the same time, controlling calories that can create and maintain a lean body is
the not-so-secret menu planning that our sport and fitness client base,
including celebrities and elite athletes, follow religiously for a lifetime.
Not just because our protein mixes taste great (they have 1000s of different
recipes), but also because it’s the best way to deliver the needed, fast-acting
protein and other desired nutrients before and after the workout. This allows
for a faster, more complete recovery so that you can continue to want to
exercise or train.
For example, if you are consuming
2000 calories/day, make ~500-700 from nutrition shakes (or in combination with
high protein nutrition bars). Protein mixes have always been the go-to solution
to control calories. So by incorporating them into daily meal planning, one can
favorably alter body composition (i.e., more muscle & less fat).
Wait, there is far more.
Correctly formulated Professional mixes (meaning they
are 3rd party tested for purity, potency, and containing the properly needed
healthy ingredients) offers the flexibility to add other, not regularly
consumed, foods conveniently, such as many fruits, vegetables, dairy, etc., and
is by far the best solution for weight control when integrated into daily meal
planning.
The list goes on, but what stands
out most to everyone is the bonus of the cost savings on the monthly food bill.
Imagine getting healthier, stronger, leaner, and saving on the grocery bill!
Too good to be true? Not for the millions of us that have been doing it our
entire lives, including our children.
Nutrition creates and maintains
our health, structure, and functional potential. Delivering what the body can
use, rather than what people randomly feed it, is how you maximize the support
to all parts of the human body. Protein is a crucial component to proper
nutrition, along with the RDA of the vitamins and minerals, which allows the
protein to do its magic throughout a lifetime.
The protein intake goal for every
active human at all ages that seeks to maximize growth, development, overall
muscle, bone health, recovery from exercise, and daily life, while remaining
structurally and functionally independent, reduce the risk of early aging and
stave off the inevitable should consume daily: 1 gram per pound of lean body
mass (LBM) split at least four times daily with 25-30 of those grams ingested
before and repeated after exercise from a fast-acting protein shake (or
fast-acting high protein nutrition bar). When training and protein converge
within a tight timeframe, great things happen – and for a lifetime.
Below is everyone’s baseline
dietary support program, including the protein, to support health, performance,
recovery, and longevity to augment any diet, exercise program, and daily
life
And no one would be immune to
the benefits no matter how well you think you eat.
