Comments on: Dear Mark: Pondering Protein http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dietary-protein/ Serving up health and fitness insights (daily, of course) with a side of irreverence. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:51:54 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: Alcinda http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dietary-protein/#comment-438252 Alcinda Sat, 08 Aug 2009 22:24:21 +0000 http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dietary-protein/#comment-438252 Late to posting...but I have a few things to add. I've long believed in the power of protein, partly because of my nursing background. Recently I saw an article about people going into an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and they found that those that had the highest blood albumin levels were more likely to survive and recovered faster. This held true regardless of the reason for being there, accident or illness. Eating protein is the only way to raise your blood albumin levels....except getting it via and IV of course! RE: Protein shakes. I use them as a convenience, but not on a daily basis. In the past protein shakes and high protein diets were found to be dangerous....but these diets were also extremely low in fat! Some of us remember the high protein diets of the past...the diets were pretty much nothing but the shakes, although some did include vegetables. But essentially they were very high protein, low fat and low carb. You must include fat in your diet and too high a protein intake without fat can be dangerous. As for the gent that discards the egg yolks and uses olive oil instead? Not me....olive oil is more unstable as it's a polyunsaturate, while the yolks contain much more stable monos and sat fats! Also....think of all those other good things in the yolk! http://www.examiner.com/x-15820-Raleigh-Low-Carb-Examiner~y2009m7d23-Consider-the-egg Late to posting…but I have a few things to add.

It allows all your bodies functions to perform more efficiently. .75 to 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight is sufficient for the average person. I agree with your sources of protein, very good choices. Actually protein is probably single most important nutrient needed in a healthy body besides water.

Just don't have the funds to do it, yet, without worrying about other stuff. But soon... Since we are on the topic of protein, I wanted to know your thoughts on bison meat, grass-fed, of course, as opposed to cattle. Also, do you know what makes grass-fed, or otherwise "organic" products so expensive? God bless! Hey Mark:
