You know, this may sound strange, but ever since I started upping my protein to 300 grams a day, my fingernails have started growing like crazy. They are also shiny. I think my fingernails are becoming buffed!
just goes to show you how important protein is to ALL the body functions and tissue regeneration and health. I personally notice the same thing as does my GF. My hair also got stronger and shinier.
Yeah, my immune system is awsome on this type of diet as well. I have recently started this kind of diet again after a 3 year layoff. Man those 3 years showed me the pits of low protein. I got sick every season with all the co workers, and even ended up in the emergency room with a 105 fever. That was the turning point for me. I went back to the gym and my protein went up Up UP! and my fat came down down down.
Well, at least I am not the only one! Hey, maybe we can get a Mr. Olympia Fingernail contest going! Who has the most buffed fingernail - just wish it would help my d_ck out somehow. All this nutrition and the thing is the same length!
