I have a customer by the name of Michael Dean, a great looking bodybuilder out of Las Vegas who’s gone 100% into using Vince’s methods. He and his buddy told me that Vince and I had changed his life and Vince and I really appreciate that. He called me one day with a question concerning protein. He read some of these nutritional advertisements, and you should always be suspect of ads that seem too good to be true. There are people out there, as he said, advocating eating a certain type of protein because it’s digested quicker than other types of proteins. What? This is all marketing with a bunch of B.S., phony tests, and phony research. Even drug companies have been found and convicted of using phony research, research that was never done yet they made claims for it. He told me that this particular protein is supposed to be more easily and quickly absorbed. Well that’s not true, protein is protein and when you don’t combine it with fat then most of it will be converted to sugar and it’s no longer protein.The real controlling factor of how you’re going to digest food and how fast you’re going to digest food isn’t the food at all, except when it’s overcooked. Meat, milk, eggs, fish, chicken, turkey, pork, liver, heart, kidney, spleen, nuts, cheese, cottage cheese, are all protein foods that are going to be digested in a hydrochloric acid base. Your gall bladder is going to inject bile to digest the fats in these foods you’re going to consume. If you have a healthy pancreas, it will release pancreatic and proteolytic enzymes. So, it’s not the food that’s digested quickly, it’s how much hydrochloric acid, how much bile, how much proteolytic enzymes your body releases and how well you chew your food. It all comes back to the important things that I discuss in my article titled “The Extremely Essential Seven”.
So anyway, this is just a marketing ploy by slick people who will do anything, even lie, to sell their products. It reminds me of when Vince called soy and whey protein “crap”. Now if whey were taken from milk, it would be fine. Like calciumcaseinate and sodium caseinate and egg whites, it would be a quality protein. But, where they get most whey from is the skim of cottage cheese, and it’s an inferior whey. They can buy it for practically nothing, put a fancy name on it and sell it for $60 a can. So there’s just a lot of people who tell a lot of lies with phony research that’s never been done. It’s not the food; it’s how your body digests it. If you read my article entitled “The Extremely Essential Seven” you’ll see that.
