Re: Why do MASS protein?

[Guest guest]

I have a question.... does the group that had the extra protein lose bulk once

they drop back on their protein intake? or does it stay the same?

Why do MASS protein?

Why do MASS protein?

" To escape fat-storage mode . . . you have to eat more protein, plain and

simple. If you want to shut down your metabolism and stay in fat-storage mode

permanently, stay on the standard diet prescription - the high-carb,

low-protein, low-calorie, low-fat diet.

Protein is the key metabolic currency of the body. Your body was designed to

run on it. Protein molecules drive all the chemical reactions involved in the

breakdown and absorption of food, including carbohydrates and fat. In other

works, protein drives virtually all aspects of metabolism. Many studies,

including some of my own, show that simply adding protein to your diet turns on

your fat-burning/muscle-building switch-even if you make no other lifestyle

changes. When I gave one group of bodybuilders extra protein along with their

normal diet, they gained two times as much muscle mass as a second group of

bodybuilders doing exactly the same workout and eating the same diet but without

the extra protein. When you're stuck in fat-storage mode, you need a powerful

protein boost to jump-start your metabolism back into fat-burning mode. In most

cases, you cannot easily get enough protein from food alone to do the job. To

fill the protein gap, in addition to increasing protein consumption through

food, I recommend a daily high-potency protein powder. It is a simple, safe,

efficient way to repair your metabolism and build a lean, shapely body. "

's note: and he's talking about NORMIES here - saying they can't get

enough protein in without protein powder!

Pages 18 & 19, Body Rx, Dr. Connelly's 6-Pack Prescription

About the author:

Dr. Connelly has devoted his life to the science of nutrition and

fitness, and is considered around the world as a leading expert in the field of

human nutrition and metabolism. A summa cum laude graduate in neuro-physiology

from Boston University, Dr. Connelly has distinguished his career in

anesthesiology, internal medicine, intensive care and cardiovascular medicine.

During his internship and residency at Harvard Medical School's prestigious

Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Connelly began working with critically ill

intensive care patients. In order to help his patients maintain their health, he

began researching and formulating products to help prevent the loss of muscle

mass. What he learned about the effects of nutrients and exercise on human

metabolism, body composition, disease prevention and immune system function,

however, would soon have more far reaching impact. While continuing his research

as a Senior Fellow in intensive care medicine at Stanford University, Dr.

Connelly created a high quality protein formulation, which he trademarked

Metamyosyn. This became the key ingredient in MET-Rx, the high protein low-fat

vitamin and mineral enriched drink mix he went on to invent.

The MET-Rx formulation took Dr. Connelly over twenty years to develop, and is

currently being issued as standard nutritional protocol in Harvard Medical

Schools Brigham and Women's Burn Care Trauma Unit and Braintree Rehabilitation

Hospital. A study published in the Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation

revealed that MET-Rx doubled the weight gain of severe burn patients over Ensure

and Sustacal protein supplements. In turn, increased strength, mobility, and

wound healing reduced hospital stays by as much as 30%.
