Protein
Hello Everyone,
As promised today will mark the start of a series on nutrition and dieting. My goal is to help you understand how your body uses different nutrients and how you can maximize fat loss by eating properly and exercising.
Truth of the matter is any diet will work for a period of time. The glut of information and misinformation we are constantly exposed to makes it even harder to know how to properly go about losing weight and keep it off. Instead of denying yourself the foods you desire, you must learn to eat in moderation and allow yourself “cheat days”. Your health is a lifelong process, and your diet must reflect that. Most diets are arduously torturous and you revert back to old eating habits once you have lost the desired weight. I will show you how to avoid all that. First though we must understand the body and what we put in it, so lets begin.

Protein and Chemistry
Proteins are the most intricate substances known to science. They are big molecules made up of the same elements; carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, that make up carbs and fats. What’s more, proteins contain nitrogen, an element required by all living vegetation and animals, and every so often sulfur, phosphorus, and iron as well. Plants can create protein by mixing the nitrogen in the ground, or in a number of cases air, with CO2 and water, whereas animals obtain their protein from eating plants or other plant consuming animals.
Each and Every protein is formed up of amino acids, smaller molecules known as the building blocks of protein. These molecules can be combined in numerous different methods, much as the letters of the alphabet are joint to produce words. We do not truly require to eat proteins themselves, but rather the amino acids from which the body creates its own proteins.
The complex molecular classification of proteins permits thousands of variations, every one produced to play a exact part in the cell of a plant or animal. The number of amino acids, the order in which they are attached, and the shape of the molecule are straightforwardly associated to the protein’s function. To illustrate, one insoluble form of protein molecule is fraction of your hair and nails, while a different, soluble shape of molecule carries nutrients through the blood stream. The order of amino acids in a protein may well be a substance of life and death; if simply one of the hundreds of amino-acid compounds in hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying protein of the blood, is out of order, the extremely severe ill health called sickle cell anemia transpires.
