What are some foods with lots of protien?

Answer 1

High protein foods are the rage today with the advent of such fad diets as Atkins and the South Beach Diet. Everyone is looking for high protein foods to get in their daily requirements of protein for these diets.
But, how healthy are these diets? How much protein is required for your body? What kind of protein does your body need? What is better for your body, animal or plant protein?

In his landmark book, The China Study, by T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., he provides shocking information from years of exhaustive research about the kinds of proteins that are healthy. This is going to be radical information for some people because it goes against almost everything we've been taught about the so-called healthy American diet. And it also calls into question high protein diets like the Atkins diet.

Campbell identifies animal protein and specifically the protein in cows milk known as casein, as a contributing factor in a whole host of diseases. There is so much information today that encourages us to believe that consuming lots of high-quality protein - basically the stuff of animal-based foods - makes for fitness, bigness, and strength of body. Campbell exposes this as pure myth through his studies.

At the beginning of the last century it was promoted and believed that meat and protein was the “right” of civilized man. This led to recommendations of very high intakes of protein, around a whopping 110 - 130 grams of animal-based proteins a day. The belief was that high protein foods promoted “manliness" and made one have strength and stamina.

Dissenting opinion to this high protein food diet originally can from Professor Russell Chittenden also in the early 1900’s. He organized an experiment to see if eating less protein and animal food would really make him and his colleagues weaker and less able to put in a full days work. To the contrary, he found that their health, vigor and overall fitness were considerably improved.

Later experiments with athletes also confirmed these same findings. What was remarkable about the athletes study was that the only difference that accounted for their more than 30% increase in performance was that they switch from an animal based protein diet to a plant based diet.

But still, 100 years later there is great resistance to the idea that a plant based diet might just be better for you than a animal based diet. This throws quite a wrench into high protein diets such as Atkins.

The trouble we see with the Atkins diet is that even though Atkins doesn't promote this, we have known several people who use the Atkins diet as a license to eat as much bacon, sausage and fat meats as they can possibly consume. Also an Atkins diet just simply is not a healthy, nutritious diet. You don't get the necessary balance of nutrients you need from the Atkins diet.

Another problem we see with the Atkins high protein food diet is that Atkins promotes casein as a nearly perfect source of protein. This is exact conflict with Campbell's exhaustive studies that has shown casein actually promotes cancer growth in laboratory mice and that withholding casein from mice that have been given a the powerful carcinogen aflatoxin, “turned off” their cancers.

With more consideration of the benefits of a plant-based diet instead of high protein diets rich in animal products we might see a huge difference in the health of our sick and obese society.
