Raw Living Food Lifestyle Provides The Best Source Of Protein On The Planet!
The first question most of our students ask upon embarking on Ann Wigmore’s Raw Living Foods Lifestyle training program is; where do we get our protein? This is a good question, so on our first evening together we address their question by going through the list of protein rich fruits, vegetables, seed, nuts and sprouts they will be eating during their stay at the institute. Upon seeing the list of fruits, vegetable, seed, nuts and sprouts and the amount of protein they will be consuming on a daily basis there usually is a resounding WOW! They learn that by embracing this lifestyle they will not only get enough protein, they will be getting the vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients, live enzymes and the right combination of amino acids combined to form protein which is perfectly designed for their body’s.
The problem we face is not our having to eat foods with too little protein, but making sure, we do not take in more protein than our bodies need.
We’ve been brainwashed by the meat, dairy and supplement companies into thinking we need one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, but science has NEVER shown that humans need that level of protein. The truth is most foods have some combination of protein, carbohydrates and fat -and vegetables contain all three macro-nutrients!
The World Health Organization, (W.H.O.) the leading authority on human health is dedicated to improving the quality of people’s lives around the world. The only places they discovered minor protein deficiencies were in underdeveloped countries that did not have access to a enough variety of foods to provide needed protein.
The World Health Organization (W.H.O) has stated we need to consume a minimum of 10% of your daily caloric intake from protein to be healthy and build lean muscle mass.
If you are eating a 2,000-calorie diet, 10% of your diet should be made up of protein, which would be 200 calories. Each gram of protein has 4 calories, so that calculates out to 50 grams of protein per day. Getting this level of protein is easy to do if you are practicing the Living Foods Lifestyle.
Example:
Protein shown in grams
Breakfast:
• 1 Green Smoothie/Energy Soup: 1 apple-0.5g, 1 cucumber- 1.0g, 1/4 cup sprouted sunflower seeds 11g, 1 cup of alfalfa sprouts 1.0g, 1cup of spinach 1.0g, 1/2 medium avocado 2.0g = 15.5
• 1 cup of sprouted Quinoa 12g
Total Breakfast Protein Intake 28.5g
Morning Snack:
• 1 Banana 1.0g
• 1 cup of grapes 1.0g
• 1 oz of almonds 6.0g
Total Snack Protein Intake 8.0g
Lunch:
• 1 cup of Zucchini pasta 2.0g with 1/2cup tomato sauce 1.0g
• small romaine/spinach salad (1 cup) 1.0g
• 1/2 cup of cubed papaya or cherries 1.0g
Total Lunch Protein Intake 5.0g
Afternoon Snack:
• 3oz’s of barley/sesame/flax seed crackers 3.0g
• 1 oz of tahini (made with 2 tables spoon of sesame) 3.0g
• 1 cup of blackberries 2.0g
Total Afternoon Snack Protein Intake 8.0g
Dinner:
• 1 Taco: made with corn (1 cup) 4.0g and 4 table spoons of flax 7.0g
• Meat - almond/walnut based 2.0oz, 10g
• Notso Cheese - Cashew based 1/2 oz, 2.5g
• Notso refried beans - Garbanzo bean based 1/4 cup, 3.5g
• Lettuce, tomato, sprouts and onion 1.0g
Total Dinner Protein Intake 28g
TOTAL DAILY PROTEIN INTAKE 77.5g
Thats and extra 27.5g of protein than what W.H.O. has designated as the required amount to buld lean muscle mass.
LIVE PROTEIN COMING FROM RAW LIVING FOODS
As you can see this chart clearly shows there is enough protein in a completely live raw plant-based diet, and any concerns a person may have about Ann Wigmore’s Raw Living Food Lifestyle not having enough protein are unfounded.
John Robbins writes in his best seller, Diet for a New America, “40 million Americans suffer from diseases caused by protein excess in America, while there are so few who suffer from diseases caused by protein deficiency, that we have no statistics.
Our bodies are amazing machines that actually create the exact proteins we need at the moment they are required, and they do this from amino acids, not protein. When we eat meat the protein has to be broken down by the body, before it can be assimilated into the amino acids needed to make the protein that is useable by our bodies systems. When we ingest live plant based protein our body get the amino acids directly from the plant making it easy for us to absorb them.
Our bodies do not utilize proteins that come into the body as they are; the body needs to make its own. There are plenty of amino acids in raw living plant foods, the key is not to destroy them by cooking the food.
We do not need to eat all of the amino acids our body will need for the day in one meal for our bodies to be able to make proteins. Our body creates many of the amino acids we need and the rest come in easily by eating a variety of live fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouts on a daily basis.
If you want the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients and amino acids your body needs to build muscle, eliminate body fat, and turn back the hands of time, you will need to get onboard with us and and pratice Ann’s Raw Living Foods Lifestyle. Which means, you will need to stop cooking the majority of your food and eat a high raw living foods diet.
