Dr. Jan Kwasniewski's Optimal Diet Regarding Protein, Fat and Carb Ratios

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

The protein, fat and carb ratios I recommend are exactly the same as Dr. Jan

Kwasniewski has on his Optimal Diet. He has been curing people of heart disease,

cancer, asthma, diabetes, etc. for over 30 years in Poland. His books are

written in Polish, and one was translated into English, however it is still very

technical and

difficult to read and understand.

He writes: " The main principle of this dietary model is a marked increase in the

consumption of fat, and the reduction in the consumption of carbohydrate, as the

energy source for the body. There are, however, strict rules on the proportion

between the three main food components, protein, fat and carbohydrates, which

need to be followed (with few exceptions) in order to achieve claimed benefits

of the Optimal Diet.

Consumption of excess amino acids [protein] thus is wasteful, since this surplus

is catabolised [see the definition below] to form energy, a function that

carbohydrates and lipids [fats] can serve at a lower cost. "

Definitions:

Catabolic processes (canabolism), are hormones that break down substances into

simpler ones, which include thyroid hormones that function as general

stimulators of many cellular reactions, hormones produced by the adrenal glands

such as cortisol, and others. While

Anabolic processes (anabolism), are hormones that build molecules, tissues and

even organs in the body, which includes sex hormones, insulin, and growth

hormones produced in the pituitary gland in the head which are responsible for

tissues repair, cell regeneration, and building new tissues as needed.

Dr. K goes on to write: For most situations, a diet in which 12% of the energy

is supplied as protein is adequate. The efficiency with which dietary protein is

used determines the total quantity of protein required. This quantity is

affected by three major factors:

protein quality, energy intake, and physical activity.

The quality of protein is measured by comparing the proportions of essential

amino acids in a food with the proportions required for good nutrition. The

closer the two numbers are, the higher the protein quality. Egg and milk

proteins are high - quality proteins that are efficiently used by the body and

are used as reference standards against which other proteins can be compared.

Meat protein is of high protein quality, whereas several proteins from plants

used as major food sources are relatively deficient.

The real value of egg yolk fats, for our body, according to a reliable

scientific investigation, is four times higher than the value of the fat from

butter or cream, and dramatically higher than the biological (and factual) value

of the remaining fats.

NOTE>>>>Under no circumstances should we mix different kinds of fuel or the two

different sources of energy: fats and carbohydrates, more precisely we should

maintain a correct proportion between the two.

By eating animal fats we not only receive concentrated energy, but we also

receive all the fat-accompanying elements needed to obtain this energy, in the

necessary quantity and proportion.

The human body metabolises [processes] animal fats easily and such metabolism is

energetically economical. The digestive system is designed to slowly deliver the

building blocks and energy containing matter.

Dearest Bee,

When we spoke on the phone I mentioned that I ate slightly more protein in a day

than my current weight allotted for on the fitday program. You told me that was

fine and not to get too hung up on that. I try to stop eating when satisfied

but I LOVE meat and it makes me feel good! I have stopped plugging in my foods

to that program because I found it tedious with my lifestyle. I focus on

getting lots of fats and I eat several eggs either with your egg drink, fried,

or the delicious egg bread recipe. I have a smaller amount of meat at lunch and

a larger amount at dinner. I limit cooked veggies to once or twice a day but

usually drown them in hollandaise or coconut oil with himalayan salts. How much

should I concern myself with the protein ratio?

Thank you so much,

+++Hi ,

Dr. Jan K's diet does allow for a 10% variation in protein anyway, so a slight

increase in protein won't take any difference.

Mainly, you should enter foods into fitday long enough so you get the feel for

how much fat and carbs you need to consume so you are high in fats and low in

carbs. Once you've got that down pat, and maintain those levels, do not be

concerned about your protein intake.

All the best, Bee
