The ultimate DJ, Jack Lalanne

[MrS]

Not just this video, check out his other motivational videos they are just simple and 100% true, the guy's energy is great, and inspiring.

This sums up the real basics of life.

No doubt. Have you seen him lately? 93 ****in years old and he has more energy and alertness than most 20 year olds I know. I've been idolizing his philosphy this past month and I've lost weight, feel 10X better, and have energy to spare. Health should be everyones #1 priority, you CAN live into your 90's have an active sex life, and be fit and happy.

Simple rules, "If man makes it DON'T EAT IT! If it tastes good spit it out!" Stop putting **** into your body that it doesn't need. A high fruit and vege low protein diet is considered the standard for good livelihood.

Where does he say low protein? How do you build/maintain muscle mass without?

 

[toddlips]

His juicer is the best in the biz!

 

[kabatura]

If it tastes good spit it out??? What

 

[Alle_Gory]

He's targeting to the average person.

 

[kabatura]

He sure doesn't look like he's on any low protein diet. How old is he there?

 

[SinJester]

I follow the link (cheers by the way) and he keep talking about eating MORE protein not less.

It's funny how it's in black and white but it's still spot on today.

 

[Eccentric]

He just changed my life forever. :yes:

It depends on your goals. Generally speaking, a high protein diet has been linked to congestive heart failure, kidney damage, and stones.

You really don't need that much protein, even if your trying to build muscle...if you're trying to look like jay culter, perhaps you need 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body weight. But why you would want to look like that is beyond my comprehension. 10-15% protein intake is enough. Jack claims he got all his protein from egg whites, fish and nuts. He's a semi-vegetarian.

"Man does not eat food to live, man eats food to work." This is just another example of taking control of your life by fighting off another reckless desire.

 

[Alle_Gory]

Generally speaking, a high protein diet has been linked to congestive heart failure, kidney damage, and stones.

That's a common misconception. Kidney damage from protein happens to people who already have existing kidney problems. If you have healthy kidneys dietary protein won't pose a problem.

Kidney stones are mineral salts (usually calcium based) that precipitate out of the urine, and accumulate over time in the kidneys, snowballing in size.


A different class of proteins causes all the problems you listed. Things like signal proteins, antibodies, enzymes... these are all proteins. But the are not the same! These are produced inside the body for various internal functions. If they are not produced in the right amount, it can lead to lots of problems, like heart faliure, alzheimers, infections because of a weak immune system, etc.

These are not the same as the proteins you get from your diet. They are made from proteins you get from your diet.

You really don't need that much protein, even if your trying to build muscle...if you're trying to look like jay culter, perhaps you need 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean body weight. But why you would want to look like that is beyond my comprehension. 10-15% protein intake is enough. Jack claims he got all his protein from egg whites, fish and nuts. He's a semi-vegetarian.

Not only that, but Jay Cutler has an abnormally high protein metabolism because of the steroids he is taking. He can use all 1.5g/lb of body of protein he's taking. An athlete who is not on drugs, can use only something like ~0.8g/lb of protein. If you eat more, the body takes what it needs, ~0.8g/lb, and the rest is burned as fuel, like carbs are.

Can you please link your sources. I call bull****. There's nothing that shows high doses of protein are high unless you already have a kidney problem, as Alle Gory pointed out. The only thing I can thing of is if people eat proteins high it saturated fats it could lead to health problems. Eating a diet high in protein wont make you look like Jay Cutler, steroids and years of heavy lifting will. 10-15% of protein will probably be enough if you are sedentary.

An athlete who is not on drugs, can use only something like ~0.8g/lb of protein. If you eat more, the body takes what it needs, ~0.8g/lb, and the rest is burned as fuel, like carbs are.

Again, sources? There are no studies that show this. I have no idea how that number came about. It's basically an old wives tale. It might be true but it hasn't been proved. Although the amount of protein someone needs is dependant on their activites as well. And if you have more than you need it wont cause and problems the body will simply use it as fuel, as you said. Protein is less likely to be stored as fat because of it's high thermic effect. Plus like you said people who take steroids can use more protein effectively.

 

[Alle_Gory]

Peter Lemon "Is increased dietary protein necessary or beneficial for individuals with a physically active lifestyle" Nutr Rev (1996) 54: S169-S175

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8700446?dopt=Abstract&holding=f1000,f1000m,isrctn

However, since the 1970s, an increasing number of studies have appeared that indicate dietary protein needs are elevated in individuals who are regularly physically active. Together, these data suggest that the RDA for those who engage in regular endurance exercise should be about 1.2-1.4 g protein/kg body mass/d (150-175% of the current RDA) and 1.7-1.8 g protein/kg body mass/d (212-225% of the current RDA) for strength exercisers.

No full text. Could only find abstract.



Also. The bullsh*t about the kidney stones, renal faliure... etc. Here is an article that disproves it.

Dietary protein intake and renal function

While protein restriction may be appropriate for treatment of existing kidney disease, we find no significant evidence for a detrimental effect of high protein intakes on kidney function in healthy persons after centuries of a high protein Western diet.

 

[SinJester]

I've seen the lemon study and I don't dispute that 1.8g protein/kg of body mass is plenty for the average athlete, just that:

An athlete who is not on drugs, can use only something like ~0.8g/lb of protein

From Muscle Building Nutrition:

So the current recommendation by the majority of bodybuilders, writers, coaches and others of one gram per pound of bodyweight does a good job of taking into account the current research and adding a margin of safety. In my view one thing is for sure, a little too much protein is far less detrimental to the athletes goal(s) of increasing muscle mass than too little protein.

A bodybuilder will have different dietary needs to an endurance runner. My mindset comes from a bodybuilders perspectivce because that is what I've looked into. Some people may benefit from more than that amount of protein, many wont. I just don't like putting things into concrete.
