The fame of protein in the world of bodybuilding and beyond is often accompanied by more or less
approximation to the true nature of this nutrient. This file is intended to provide an update on the subject.
Proteins are probably the most famous nutrient in bodybuilding, whether by practitioners, such as non-practicing.
Yet few really know their roles and modes of operation:
- For some, it is a magical nutrient that can build muscle significantly and quickly, without effort. We will, of
course, that's not true. Protein helps the body to build muscle, but only if the dosage is correct and that the
body is placed in a favorable condition for this construction, thanks to bodybuilding.
- For others, it is a food that helps losing weight, as with dietary supplements type (Slim Fast), or the protein diet.
In addition, we see that it is not possible to talk block of proteins, as a generic term for this concept is
broad and includes several things:
- Animal protein
- Vegetable proteins
- Protein powder
- Amino acids
Indeed, one can't speak of proteins not to mention amino acids, which are the basic constituents. It is they
who largely determine the quality and characteristics of a protein, whether in powder, or from food.
Last, it is sometimes good to remember: everyone eats every day protein (from meat, fish or eggs, but milk
and vegetables). This is not a doping or a nutrient hazardous to health.
