Took this link from Stronglifts to see what your opinions are on this guys theory:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae-d...glifts.com/forum/the-protein-myth-t10668.html
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Let me guess. Another whiney 150lb fag telling us we don't need protein to grow? I haven't watched the video, just guessing. 
(I could be wrong but I doubt it.)

Then he's (yet another) prime example of why you DO need protein to grow.
A twig extolling the virtues of low protein for muscle growth.. what a surprise.

Watching 10 seconds of this video showed me that the guy was lacking in the testosterone dept. Hmm...I wonder if lack of quality protein might have something to do with it..
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It's true that protein combining is a myth. Your body stores excess amino acids in the blood for up to a week before converting excess amines into calcium salts and disposing of them in your urine. You might look up Dr. McDougall to see a lot more information on the topic of how humans process and use amino acids.
The main problem with that wikipedia article is that it's still using protein requirements based on lab animal needs and not what humans require. Even the USDA has recently lowered their recommendations for daily protein consumption despite meat/dairy industry protests (they left their numbers much higher than what the scientists advised). Additionally, the article is also using lab animal data that scores whey protein as being a 'perfect' protein, egg albumin is more commonly referenced as a 'perfect' protein but that is also based on lab animals and not on human needs.
To the best of my knowledge there have only been two studies done on human amino acid needs using the same proven methods used on lab animals. Both studies results matched and found that the 'perfect' source of protein for humans was skin-on potato! Access to these studies is now reserved for other researchers since political correctness declared them to be unethical (one was done by Germany during WWII, the other was done in the '50s on US prisoners).
Protein just isn't an issue for humans. Under current guidelines the ideal diet based on calories (since caloric intake self adjusts) is that your diet should be 10% protein, 25% fat, 65% carbohydrates. The scientists wanted protein to be at 5-7% but that number got raised (as I said earlier<g>).
Don't worry about protein and/or amino acids! It's just not a problem on any decent veggie diet (unless you're in the meat industry<evil grin>).

^^^ wtf is with this new breed of spambots?
Someone should tell the guy that the enzymes he's eating are also actually proteins and are digested the same way as any other protein, they don't remain enzymes in the body for very long...and you don't have to cook a food to study its composition...and there is the same amount of amino acids in cooked food as in raw food. What a preachy, clueless fknut...can't believe people listen to this emaciated loon. He should try speaking to an audience with a basic level of biochemistry and see how far he gets. Oh well, more beef and eggs for me!
This video is even better http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EYO4dfwhzvQ&feature=PlayList&p=65D89142113E8F95&index=9

The guy is a marthon runner, I'm not surprised he doesn't eat meat. Not everyone is as smart as Michael Phelps when it comes to a diet.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Damn, he has the voice tone of a 14yr old, he is definitely lacking in testosterone, perhaps a proper diet might sort him out.
But whatever, who really cares? I'll keep getting my 'amino acids' from meat etc.

Veganism is a problem when you're training. Counter-productive no matter how you slice it.
Wanna save the plants and ****? Don't bother training then.
PPL need to keep their priorities straight
