Coming soon, but I need your help!!!

Ahoy!,
Brian I would like to hear about sports nutrition meal timing and supplements.
Thanks,

"When you're not training... I am."

Brian, I like high protein and weight loss like Jamo, but also behavior modification because I want to help more people have a positive attitude. I also want to learn when it comes to nutritionabout carb loading and I'd love topics on sports nutrition.

Everyone knows high protein diets are well used
and perhaps abused, lol
by bodybuilders and people trying to lose weight.
I would like to hear your opinion on too much protein. PLEASE include as much as you can about patients with liver chirrosis and/or kidney problems
As I have some liver chirrosis, but i do not know how much.

Here's my quick $.2
A short summary and an in-a-nut-shell opinion after the possibly hundreds of articles I've read about protein;
IF we lived in a perfect world, and our livers and kidneys, could keep up the rate of digestion, and proper release of waste, then a higher protein diet would not necessarily affect us too much.
I' also have a liver disease, as this topic is very close to home, so I've researched a lot. I've actually (SO FAR :) ) never found an article that totally PROVES that the protein is damaging to the liver when consumed in high amounts. however, we know the facts, that protein DOES cause toxins, which are then released (thanks to the kidneys help) into ur urine.
im looking hard today for lots of protein articles ;)

PROS:
+ studies show that high protein consumption actually helps decrease bodyfat (indirectly, due to satiety and fullness)
+ studies show protein is much more "taxing" to break apart and therefore requires more calories to complete the digestion process
+ studies show that when atheletes, fitness enthusiasts, and fit people eat too much protein, it is somehow much harder to store as bodyfat [to reword that, the study showed that if you're an avid exerciser, you're much less likely to put on bodyfat as you are if you eat excess calories of other foods (probably goes back to above reason)]
+ studies PROVE that damaged livers can actually (and DO actually) need amino acids to repair themselves [how much damaged can repair is another question ;) ]
+ studies PROVE that protein cannot be stored and "used at a later time" like carbs (glycogen) or fats (storage fats)
+ studies show that higher protein is necessary to add muscle mass to your body (much much much much debated. In my honest opinion, its a FACT that you require much more than the AVERAGE person, which only gets probably 40-50g a day?? maybe, but when you starting getting up to 150+ grams of protein, who knows if THAT much actually helps. But i'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it! :) )
+ studies show (and i've learned through experience 100% for sure) that protein causes high amounts of satiety & fullness compared to other sources of energy (carbs especially don't keep you full for too too long. but if you throw in some protein in with the oatmeal, lol. bam! you're done!)

CONS:
+ it is a fact that protein causes toxins when broken apart [however, they should be normally excreted and digested in a properly working system]
+ protein is somewhat expensive [however, cancer, doctor visits, surgeries, etc. are much more expensive. my point is health is important, you can't put a price on it]
+ studies claim too much protein does damage the liver [i've yet to see these studies totally prove it. i think they mainly use normal patients, and not chirrosis patients. who knows]

which do create some toxins and wastes that need to be released after we digest and break apart proteins (and fats as well), if the liver and kidneys could keep up the rate of digestion,

which would also require proper water hydration (as water is a key in hydroloysis or breaking apart of the macronutrients [hope i got the right word, lol])

"Chest up, shoulders back. Head in line with your body."

I think it was a great idea for you to list these topics like you did. I am interested in a few of what you have listed: "Supplements for performance and health" (especially NO2); "how much water do we need"; "proteins and exercise"; "carb loading"; & "carbs and exercise".

I've been doing my own reading up, but I think that general education is important no matter what state your body is in.
Good job!
