All Protein Is Not Created Equal

If you buy your protein off a store shelf, take a quick second to read – all protein is not created equal!Did you know that there are different grades of whey protein in the market space today? What does that even mean?I’m feeling pretty grateful the one we use is Grade 7 quality.Grade 7 Whey is cold processed and live enzymes are preserved. No acid is ever used during the processing. The final product is the BEST quality undenatured whey in the world and is 99% lactose free. Grade 7 Whey is also: Purer than organic The king of clean Grass fed; never corn Free range Seasonally milked No hormone or antibiotic injections Free of heavy metals No fillersGrade 7 Whey is also 97% bioavailability, and is healing and life enhancing. THIS is key!! If your body can’t assimilate what you put into it, nothing will work.What are Grades 1-6 whey about? Here’s the sad news about the other grades that you might just find in your grocery shelves:Grades 1 and 2: are equivalent to dog/cat food . These grades are the worst of the worst. Using GMO fed cows, they incorporate biowaste animal parts, have no regulation, and are filled with non-protein fillers. There is nothing life enhancing about these grades.Grades 3-5: are what people buy 90% of the time in the mainstream stores and online supplement websites. These can best be understood as coming from conventional hormone pumped, GMO corn fed, antibiotic injected, and forcefully milked out of season cows. This type of protein many times has heavy metal toxicity levels as well.Grades 6: A better step in the right direction. Most protein in this class would come from organic cows, however they are not necessarily free range or seasonally milked.Grade 7 is where it’s at!The other thing is : have you heard of Protein Pacing? It will make all the difference is achieving your goals of fitness, performance, weight wellness and healthy aging!So what exactly is protein pacing?Protein pacing is the scientifically proven combination of eating healthy, lean, protein foods at the right time of day to maximize health and performance.Simply put, protein pacing calls for consuming 20 to 40 grams of protein spread evenly across four to six meals per day. (I do over 24 grams of protein for breakfast, lunch & dinner and generally around 10 grams of protein for 2 x a day between meals.)Consuming protein throughout the day in an amount that your body can use efficiently, helps to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, stimulate your metabolism, and most importantly keep you satisfied to help manage appetite.
