Bugs have protein, right?
Eat More Bugs?
Everything I’ve seen there is steak and 4 fried eggs, things like that.
Eat more eggs and you will be fine. LIFE comes from an egg!!
I am skeptical of any health advice the *experts* give.
The natural health community has been proved right far too often over the decades to trust in establishment medical consensus who are wrong more often than not.
This idea that you have to eat your weight in grams of protein every single day is completely false. Even if you lift weights regularly.
Eat protein, vegetables and fruit (you get your carbs from fruit).
Cut out ALL BS carbs (cereal, breads, chips, tortilla’s, sweets, sugar drinks...).
Cut out most dairy (most people are lactose intolerant to some degree).
Stay away from highly processed food (it’s dead - much of the nutrition is lost, tends to be heavily salted and sugared besides being loaded with preservatives, colors, stabilizers, aromatics).
You have stereo scopic vision for depth perception, like all predators.
You have canine test and incisors for cutting “meat” like a carnivore.
Cave man didn’t have the ability to mix his rice with beans, that he got from a grocery store in December, to get a complete protein.
That said, the best proteins are from fish, then chicken, pork, and finally beef.
You are NOT meant to live on some vegan UN and animal rights group / celebrity approved quack diet.
Before we shipped, trucked, flew, froze, canned, and green housed food, you would DIE if you tried to eat some of these fad diets recommended today where it would have been impossible to feed yourself if you exclude animal products.
“A woman weighing 72kg, for example, should consume 54g of protein daily, while a man weighing 87kg should consume 73g.
Our recommended protein intake changes as we age, with adults aged over 70 requiring 25 per cent more protein than younger people – or around 67g of protein daily for women and 91g for men.”
the above is pretty much in line with the RDA for protein ...
the problem is that only meat can provide the recommended daily amount of protein without also including an exorbitant amount of calories
i recently looked at a chart of various foods which listed both their protein content in grams and calorie content.
Only meat and seafood have a calorie/gm-protein ratio of 6-8 calories per gram protein ... dairy products have a ratio greater than 8 calories per gm protein ... eggs are 12 calories to 1 gm protein, nuts are in the range of 25 calories per gm protein ... most legumes are 15 to 1 ... grains are in the range of 25 calories per gm protein ...
everything you were told about how nuts and beans and grains were good sources of protein is bullshit when you look at the actual numbers ...
thus, even without the massive amount of sugars that most folks consume, it’s no wonder almost everyone is porked out: it’s nearly impossible to obtain the required protein without also consuming MASSIVE anounts of calories unless the diet is mostly meat ... people are basically starving for protein and it drives them to eat huge quantities of foods that are poor sources of protein ...
The best proper human diet, carnivore, is too often mistaken as a protein diet. It’s NOT.
It’s recommended to be predominantly rich in animal fat, up to 80% by calories. The more fat, the better for healing (anti-inflammatory, lower insulin peaks, readily available for hormones production...).
I suspect that most Americans need to eat less of everything. Ok, I’m off to breakfast...
