Randy,
I had a question on your nutrition input of protein powders. I noticed you recommend no protein powders in your nutrition list. Does this include the isolated ones? I have been doing isolated soy protein-I am sure you have heard of herbalife. Any suggestions?
Protein powders are all together a bad idea. “Avoid products containing protein powders as they usually contain carcinogens formed during processing; and consumption of protein without the cofactors occurring in nature can lead to deficiencies, especially of vitamin A.” Weston A. Price Foundation (http://www.westonaprice.org/abcs-of-nutrition/475-principles-of-healthy-diets.html). Most of our research is rooted in the Weston A. Price Foundation but we have come to our conclusion with overwhelming amount of scientific evidence. Soy Protein specifically is and can be harmful to the body. Soy products play a major role in thyroid dysfunction, reducing vitamin D and calcium absorption, and the list goes on and on (https://westonaprice.org/soy-alert/266-myths-and-truths-about-soy.html). My suggestion would be to find a way to get your protein through your diet. Eggs, beef, chicken, turkey, pork, and fish make up a vital part of a healthy diet. For those that are vegetarians this can be a touchy subject. Unless someone just cannot stand the taste of animal products, I would suggest that anyone include these products in their diet.
