Action Steps for Protective Protein

• Put Protein in its Proper Place
• Whole foods contain 3 macronutrients: Fats, Carbohydrates & Protein along with water and fiber
• Protein has been incorrectly put in the position of greatest importance as ideal for health, weight loss & muscle building
• High-protein diets (Atkins & Paleo) are at the peak of popularity; they lean down the body while increasing disease risk
• Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein consumption is 8-10% of our calories =2.2g-2.8g/100 calories

– 33g/day for women and 42g/day for men eating 1500 calories/day

– 44g/day for women and 56g/day for men eating 2000 calories/day

• Eliminate Damaging Sources of Protein
• All Animal Protein

– promotes the hormone IGF1, produced in the liver

– IGF1tells the body to grow everything, including dormant cancer cells, causing premature aging and disease

– blocks the conversion of the hormone that produces Vitamin D in the body

– people with low levels of vitamin D and high levels of cancer, generally eat a diet rich in animal proteins and saturated fat

– organic meat is not better; still carcinogenic when cooked, high in cholesterol, high in saturated fat, and acidic

• Dairy Protein/Casein

– promotes IGF1, just like meat

– turns on and off cancer — proven by Dr. Campbell in The China Study

• Protein Powders

– extracted food: pea protein, soy protein powder, whey protein (dairy protein)

– causes an imbalance in the diet; contains no carbohydrates, no fiber, no fat…the body doesn’t recognize it

• Eat Plant-Based Protein for Optimal Health
• every whole plant food contains protein perfectly packaged with fiber, carbohydrate and fat
• decreases IGF1, even when consumed in high amounts
• ideal protein for cell repair and renewal without causing too much growth and damage
• protects the body from fast growing tumors/fast growth of any kind & premature aging

• Educate: “How Do You Get Your Protein on a Protective Diet?”
• There is no lack of protein in our diet; eating whole plant foods you will automatically consume enough protein
• On a Protective Diet protein RDA is achieved in every meal; One serving of PD Baked Mac & Cheeze meets the RDA

ALL Plants Contain Protein. Examples:			Protein in 1 serving PD Baked Mac & Cheeze
1 cup Oats	6g		1 cup Soymilk	7g
2 slices Ezekiel Bread	8g		¼ lb Whole Grain Pasta	16.5g
1 cup Cooked Spinach	13.5g		¼ cup Nutritional Yeast	8g
1 cup Beans	12g		1 cup Green Peas	6.6g
1 cup Lentils	18g		TOTAL	~38g

• Nutritional Yeast is a complete protein & a good source of Vitamin B-12 in a lot of Protective Diet recipes

– This yeast is not related to candida or other yeasts and will not cause yeast overgrowth

– Vitamin B-12 is lacking in everyone’s diet because factory farmed meats are deficient in it.

– will color your urine brighter/neon because of vitamin B-12

– made by growing bacteria on top of beets; the bacteria grows Vitamin B-12

– high in protein and tastes delicious, like cheeze

Cooking Tips

• Methyl B-12 is the best source of Vitamin B-12 because it doesn’t contain sweeteners
• Order Nutritional Yeast in bulk. It doesn’t go bad so buying in bulk is fine.
• To reheat food without using a microwave, put it back in the oven or reheat on the stove. You may need to add liquid.
• For hot food on the go, pack it in a Thermos.
• Keep trying to eat greens. Usually by the tenth try of trying anything, you are going to start to like it. Hide them in soup.
• Bake potatoes in the oven while cooking other things. Put them in the fridge. They can become your portable powerbars.
• Add soymilk or PD Rice Milk to tofu-based dressings to thin to your preferred consistency.

Encouragement

• It doesn’t matter what recipe you pick off the website, as long as you are eating a variety of whole, plant-based foods your body will use it toward optimal health. Eat when you are hungry, until you are full and satisfied and don’t restrict.

On a Protective Diet your plate will be loaded with protein.

You will be able to explain that to others and sound like you know your stuff.
