Protein builds
muscles so I need protein,
00:00:01.40\00:00:04.66
besides only place to
get complete protein is
00:00:04.69\00:00:08.61
from animal kingdom.
If that's what you think
00:00:08.67\00:00:11.25
then today's program
is just for you, entitled
00:00:11.44\00:00:13.78
protein without the
baloney, stay with us.
00:00:14.28\00:00:17.35
Hi, welcome to
Abundant Living, my name is
00:00:45.01\00:00:46.94
Curtis Eakins and
this is my partner and my
00:00:47.10\00:00:49.98
friend Paula Eakins.
Hello, hello kind of, also
00:00:50.20\00:00:56.67
my wife, I just like
to add too, oh thank you,
00:00:56.78\00:00:58.94
you are my wife, I'm
your wife, yes, beautiful
00:00:58.97\00:01:00.80
I love you very much
thank you, okay thank
00:01:01.11\00:01:03.53
you love me more,
more, more and I love you
00:01:03.56\00:01:06.92
I love you more okay,
okay well, that's a little
00:01:07.56\00:01:09.43
contest we have,
who loves a person more,
00:01:09.65\00:01:12.56
anyway, that's
a running contest.
00:01:12.98\00:01:14.75
But again, protein
without the baloney.
00:01:14.88\00:01:17.44
Now of course in a
tease, we need protein to
00:01:17.97\00:01:20.88
build muscle and I
want to start this program
00:01:21.08\00:01:24.12
by saying this honey,
from the outside, that
00:01:24.28\00:01:27.10
said that there was
an article in vegetarian
00:01:27.13\00:01:29.72
times some years ago
I still have the article
00:01:29.96\00:01:31.95
and it was
entitled meatless muscles,
00:01:38.02\00:01:39.39
it has in that
article because been a former
00:01:39.42\00:01:40.79
bodybuilder years ago
I was very interested in
00:01:40.82\00:01:43.79
this article in the
vegetarian times and it
00:01:43.82\00:01:46.19
had several body
builders who were
00:01:46.22\00:01:49.12
vegetarians. Now
we're not talking about body
00:01:49.65\00:01:52.52
builders who just
came to the gym one or two
00:01:52.61\00:01:54.74
times, these are top
notched body builders and
00:01:54.89\00:01:59.74
they entitled the
article meatless muscles and
00:01:59.84\00:02:03.79
the first one
was Andrius Colleen,
00:02:03.82\00:02:06.51
he was a 13 year
bodybuilder and was
00:02:07.24\00:02:11.29
Mr. international. I
remember him, building
00:02:11.72\00:02:14.94
muscles, I remember
him, alright, without
00:02:14.97\00:02:17.02
animal protein.
Yeah, yeah, the second guy
00:02:17.27\00:02:20.05
that it had in article
was Bill Pearl, he was a
00:02:20.22\00:02:24.17
four time Mr.
Universe building muscles
00:02:24.42\00:02:29.33
without meat,
meatless muscles and of course
00:02:29.46\00:02:32.53
being a bodybuilder I
was very interested in
00:02:32.60\00:02:34.23
that of course at the
Huntsville Hospital, where I
00:02:34.26\00:02:36.06
used to work years
ago, everyone knew that I
00:02:36.09\00:02:38.79
was a vegetarian and
of course I would get
00:02:38.82\00:02:41.08
teased quite often of
course it didn't, I didn't
00:02:41.38\00:02:43.37
mind that. I had
several nick names salad
00:02:43.40\00:02:47.36
shooter, Tofu head,
you know that kind of
00:02:47.52\00:02:49.34
thing. So, when some
of the guys who used to
00:02:49.37\00:02:52.33
tease me and some
of these people were
00:02:52.43\00:02:54.59
maybe 10-15 years
younger than I was,
00:02:54.71\00:02:57.48
I would wait till a
whole lot of nurses get
00:02:58.12\00:02:59.60
around, then I tell
the person who is teasing
00:02:59.87\00:03:02.01
me, all of this time,
I said okay I'll tell you
00:03:02.04\00:03:04.95
what how about an
Indian Wrestle and I know
00:03:05.18\00:03:08.34
this is an international
program, so that means
00:03:08.37\00:03:10.73
that you have a table
and you put your elbow
00:03:10.76\00:03:13.98
on the table and then
clap hands and you see
00:03:14.01\00:03:16.93
who can you know win
the contest as far as
00:03:17.06\00:03:20.72
getting your hand back
to the other side of the
00:03:20.75\00:03:23.11
table. So, I tell you
what every single match I
00:03:23.36\00:03:28.37
won and that's why I
as a person never had
00:03:28.40\00:03:31.65
any comments or I
know that and tease me
00:03:31.75\00:03:33.36
any time after that.
But meatless muscles and
00:03:33.39\00:03:37.69
so therefore this
program is very popular and it's
00:03:38.01\00:03:40.90
needed in the
society today because some
00:03:40.96\00:03:43.41
people think that we
need animal protein to
00:03:43.53\00:03:46.11
build muscles.
Well, why don't we discuss
00:03:46.30\00:03:47.90
then what exactly is
protein. Well protein
00:03:48.03\00:03:50.95
basically is a
compound found in foods and it
00:03:51.10\00:03:54.18
helps the body to
maintain itself on a daily
00:03:54.33\00:03:56.93
basis. Why is so
important for us to
00:03:57.20\00:03:59.74
have it? Well
protein again compounds,
00:03:59.77\00:04:03.01
those compounds we
call amino acids and
00:04:03.05\00:04:05.79
amino acids is
very important as far as
00:04:05.84\00:04:08.29
tissue and cell
growth, hemoglobin
00:04:08.73\00:04:11.36
production, red
blood cells for hormone
00:04:11.64\00:04:14.88
processes, produce
of hormones, a vision is
00:04:14.91\00:04:20.29
also good for that and
so protein is good for a
00:04:20.32\00:04:23.07
lot of things and
so that's why we need
00:04:23.33\00:04:25.28
protein on a daily
basis because we need red
00:04:25.42\00:04:28.31
blood cells and we
need antibodies, protein
00:04:28.34\00:04:31.17
protein does that as
well. We need hormone
00:04:31.20\00:04:33.32
productions, protein
is responsible for that as
00:04:33.52\00:04:35.48
well so again protein
is very vital to sustain
00:04:35.67\00:04:39.30
life on a daily basis.
Well, what are the best
00:04:39.40\00:04:42.19
sources when we talk
about protein, the best source
00:04:42.42\00:04:44.58
is a best way to get
that in. Okay the best
00:04:44.61\00:04:46.18
source is, let's go to
God's word and we have a
00:04:46.85\00:04:49.47
clue as far as the best
source of protein, we read this
00:04:49.67\00:04:53.55
verse before honey
you maybe remember this,
00:04:53.70\00:04:56.14
but it's good to re-read
it again, this is found in
00:04:56.32\00:04:58.99
Genesis chapter 1,
this is right after God
00:04:59.16\00:05:02.20
created mankind and
so we give, God gives us
00:05:02.67\00:05:07.70
a instruction as far
as the diet for mankind in
00:05:08.02\00:05:10.55
verse 29, the Bible
says this. And God said
00:05:10.75\00:05:14.86
behold I had given
you every herb bearing
00:05:15.07\00:05:18.54
seed which is upon
the face up all the earth
00:05:18.79\00:05:21.51
and every tree in
which is the fruit of a tree
00:05:22.47\00:05:26.08
yielding seed to you
is shall be for meat or
00:05:26.78\00:05:32.31
another correct
more translation is food,
00:05:32.48\00:05:35.31
because in that text
there is no meat listed
00:05:35.83\00:05:38.39
in that verse. So
the word meat means food
00:05:38.58\00:05:40.91
and then after sin
of course, Genesis 3 in
00:05:41.82\00:05:44.60
verse 18, the Bible
says in addition to that
00:05:44.78\00:05:48.12
thou shall eat the
herb of the field. Now with
00:05:48.61\00:05:52.38
that in mind, it kind
of gives you an idea of
00:05:52.59\00:05:55.83
the source of protein
and those two verses of
00:05:56.14\00:05:59.01
scripture before sin
and after sin, there was no
00:05:59.32\00:06:05.14
animal protein
mentioned at all. Plant protein
00:06:05.39\00:06:11.55
from the plant
kingdom, either from the fruit
00:06:11.66\00:06:13.89
or the nuts or from
the ground, which is the
00:06:14.31\00:06:16.93
legumes,
vegetables and whole grain.
00:06:17.09\00:06:19.69
Now having said
that, let's go to our first
00:06:20.35\00:06:22.81
graphic and let's see
about the plant protein.
00:06:22.85\00:06:26.35
The best source,
this is from the American
00:06:26.39\00:06:29.86
Journal of Clinical
Nutrition it says, "Plant
00:06:29.96\00:06:32.93
protein alone can
provide adequate amounts of
00:06:33.37\00:06:38.75
amino acids if a
variety of plant foods are
00:06:39.21\00:06:43.63
consumed." Plant
protein, the best source.
00:06:43.98\00:06:47.72
Now people maybe
looking at that and
00:06:48.22\00:06:50.83
saying wait a
minute now, because plant
00:06:50.87\00:06:53.46
protein is really
incomplete, it doesn't
00:06:53.59\00:06:55.96
have all of the amino
acids and either one of
00:06:56.13\00:06:59.25
the foods in the
plant kingdom so, let's talk
00:06:59.28\00:07:01.59
about that honey,
what is, how can we get
00:07:01.64\00:07:03.65
complete protein
from the plant kingdom?
00:07:04.02\00:07:05.45
Well, you know many
years ago, when people
00:07:06.22\00:07:08.95
began talking more
about vegetarianism,
00:07:09.01\00:07:10.88
you use to always
hear words, there's not
00:07:11.41\00:07:13.05
enough calcium
available to us not enough iron
00:07:13.08\00:07:15.08
available to us and
of course certainly not
00:07:15.12\00:07:17.40
enough protein
available and for a long time
00:07:17.43\00:07:19.68
people, did not want
to switch over because
00:07:19.71\00:07:21.17
they felt they were
going to not have the
00:07:21.30\00:07:22.67
amount of any of
these and specifically
00:07:22.70\00:07:24.94
protein because it's
function in the body.
00:07:25.24\00:07:27.21
Hmm, and what has
happened is through the
00:07:27.37\00:07:29.58
years, the scientific
community has now come
00:07:29.67\00:07:31.69
back and said you
know you can have a
00:07:31.87\00:07:33.85
protein source incomplete
let's say for instance
00:07:34.01\00:07:36.45
you might have beans
in the morning for your
00:07:36.48\00:07:40.05
breakfast meal and
you might not have it at
00:07:40.21\00:07:42.71
lunch time with
rice, so the combination of
00:07:42.88\00:07:44.68
beans and rice
together will make it complete
00:07:44.95\00:07:46.57
protein. Okay. The
combination of beans and
00:07:46.72\00:07:49.74
some type of bread,
wheat product would give
00:07:49.87\00:07:52.34
you a complete
protein, so everybody was
00:07:52.40\00:07:53.78
trying so busy to
match mix and match things
00:07:53.95\00:07:55.82
together and what
they discovered was that
00:07:56.00\00:07:58.25
you could have an
incomplete protein in the
00:07:58.30\00:08:00.61
morning you can have
an incomplete protein
00:08:00.77\00:08:02.56
in the afternoon and
because of the time frame
00:08:02.62\00:08:05.26
that is still
considered as complete protein.
00:08:05.45\00:08:07.86
Okay so therefore in
the past they said that
00:08:08.35\00:08:11.96
you suggest to have
always together, always
00:08:12.04\00:08:14.28
together at the same
meal, right, right okay,
00:08:14.31\00:08:16.04
but now you don't
have to do it at the same
00:08:16.46\00:08:17.88
meal yeah, you can
have your legume at one
00:08:18.05\00:08:19.83
meal and a whole
grain at the other meal and
00:08:20.10\00:08:22.64
therefore it still be
complete in that one day,
00:08:22.75\00:08:24.93
right. Well actually
it was always that way,
00:08:25.06\00:08:26.54
it's just that science
said now, you're just now
00:08:26.68\00:08:29.34
catching up, yeah,
yeah. Because you know
00:08:29.47\00:08:31.00
we go back and we,
they go back and forth
00:08:31.03\00:08:32.99
for different things
but that's been a big
00:08:33.07\00:08:34.44
question and a lot of
people have asked that
00:08:34.47\00:08:36.41
question and I think
that as a result of it that's
00:08:36.57\00:08:38.66
one of the things that
has actually caused more
00:08:38.74\00:08:40.28
study to be out,
talking about the combination,
00:08:40.31\00:08:43.16
but what a real good
source to actually get
00:08:43.51\00:08:46.19
that now to know
that, you know and God
00:08:46.22\00:08:48.59
knew what he was
doing, right, I mean he
00:08:48.67\00:08:50.04
says fruits and
vegetables and grains and
00:08:50.07\00:08:51.44
cereals, that's what he
said alright, right, right.
00:08:51.57\00:08:53.32
So it's just a matter
of us really catching up
00:08:53.35\00:08:55.50
with God. Yeah and
I think again a lot of
00:08:55.57\00:08:57.45
people still think that
we need protein to build
00:08:57.64\00:09:01.96
muscle and a part of
it said that protein does
00:09:02.10\00:09:06.46
not build muscle,
what builds muscle is
00:09:06.49\00:09:10.11
exercise and we get
more than enough of our
00:09:10.14\00:09:13.32
share of protein, we're
gonna have to little skit
00:09:13.53\00:09:15.38
in the kitchen and
you'll discover that how
00:09:15.57\00:09:17.52
much protein that
most people get on a daily
00:09:17.64\00:09:19.45
basis, but exercise
builds muscles and I
00:09:19.58\00:09:23.79
think because muscles
contain protein, people
00:09:23.82\00:09:27.76
assume that
protein builds muscle, hmm.
00:09:27.95\00:09:30.73
Well, the body
contains a lot of water that
00:09:31.07\00:09:34.01
doesn't mean that
water builds the body, right,
00:09:34.17\00:09:36.00
so it's the same
scenario. Well, we, the
00:09:36.29\00:09:38.19
question is how,
how much do we actually
00:09:38.52\00:09:39.89
need to have? How
much protein do we need,
00:09:39.92\00:09:41.98
now of course you
read all types of medical
00:09:42.17\00:09:44.69
journals and websites
and they tell you that
00:09:44.89\00:09:47.44
sometimes based on
your weight, that based
00:09:47.59\00:09:51.82
on your weight
determines how much protein
00:09:51.85\00:09:53.73
you need. So if
you're 70 pounds then you
00:09:53.86\00:09:57.33
shall have at least 35
grams of protein, half of
00:09:57.36\00:10:00.04
your weight,
alright, but we do not endorse
00:10:00.07\00:10:03.83
that and so
therefore with that in mind and
00:10:04.04\00:10:06.33
is how it really
started back in the 1800s,
00:10:06.53\00:10:08.46
about this protein
and how much we really
00:10:08.67\00:10:10.54
need. To look at a set
of coal miners and they
00:10:10.68\00:10:13.88
were you know
healthy, strong, they're
00:10:14.01\00:10:15.47
working the coal
mines and they decided to
00:10:15.58\00:10:18.29
watch how much
protein those coal miners ate
00:10:18.90\00:10:22.91
on a daily basis. They
discovered that they ate
00:10:23.13\00:10:25.93
a 118 grams of
protein per day, okay, so what
00:10:25.96\00:10:30.01
they did is in 1800s
they rounded it up to a
00:10:30.04\00:10:32.74
120 and that's hard
they started with the amount
00:10:32.92\00:10:35.85
of protein people
need on a daily basis and
00:10:35.90\00:10:38.62
then before long
as years gone by they
00:10:38.81\00:10:41.42
decided that 120 is
not, is too much than what
00:10:41.84\00:10:47.34
we need. Hmm, so
they started lowering the
00:10:47.56\00:10:49.31
amount of protein
slowly going down after
00:10:49.53\00:10:53.76
year after year after
year, so realize but it
00:10:53.81\00:10:56.39
started at a high level
of 120 grams of protein.
00:10:56.53\00:10:59.23
Now, based on
international studies
00:10:59.86\00:11:02.37
around the world,
it's determined that we eat
00:11:02.49\00:11:04.75
about 25 to 35
grams of protein per day,
00:11:04.93\00:11:09.62
alright. Okay. Now
having said that, if a
00:11:10.53\00:11:13.57
person is on a plant
based diet, it's easy to
00:11:13.75\00:11:18.00
get that 25 to 35
grams of protein per day,
00:11:18.07\00:11:20.80
but now if you get
your protein from the
00:11:21.16\00:11:22.53
animal kingdom then
you can overwrite that
00:11:22.59\00:11:25.56
by a long short as
far as getting too much
00:11:26.21\00:11:28.17
protein. Hmm, what
happens if we have too
00:11:28.47\00:11:33.45
much protein? Well,
now a lot of things can
00:11:33.48\00:11:36.17
happen when we get
in too much protein,
00:11:36.42\00:11:38.06
again as I mentioned
before we cannot get a
00:11:38.09\00:11:41.51
lot of protein if we
get our protein from the
00:11:41.54\00:11:43.83
plant kingdom, if
we get too much protein
00:11:44.05\00:11:46.58
more than likely
we're getting our protein
00:11:46.82\00:11:48.19
from the animal
kingdom, because the animal
00:11:48.31\00:11:50.31
kingdom is loaded
with protein. Okay and you
00:11:50.51\00:11:53.48
may say that's a
good idea, but not really
00:11:53.52\00:11:55.49
because with that
comes some other things
00:11:55.72\00:11:58.49
that's brought to
the table along with the
00:11:58.60\00:12:00.63
animal protein
Hmm. You also have
00:12:00.82\00:12:02.84
cholesterol, hmm, you
also have saturated fat,
00:12:03.47\00:12:09.34
these two combinations
reeks havoc with the
00:12:10.16\00:12:13.13
cardiovascular
system. Which you do not get
00:12:13.28\00:12:17.01
from plant protein.
Okay, so with that you
00:12:17.36\00:12:20.95
increase your risk of
heart disease and stroke,
00:12:21.08\00:12:25.20
that's number one,
number two, lets look at
00:12:25.78\00:12:27.83
the kidneys. Now, I
call the kidneys our
00:12:27.93\00:12:30.28
internal washing
machine and the kidneys
00:12:30.62\00:12:33.73
work admirably in
doing that, but now the
00:12:33.76\00:12:36.84
kidneys cannot work at
it's top level if there is
00:12:37.09\00:12:40.97
too much protein in
the system. It puts an undo
00:12:41.16\00:12:45.18
burden on the
kidneys, with that in mind
00:12:45.44\00:12:48.02
animal protein
stresses out the kidneys they
00:12:48.47\00:12:51.44
cannot perform
their job admirably, so
00:12:51.60\00:12:53.78
therefore you have
increase of renal failure
00:12:53.97\00:12:57.83
and kidney stones.
Which is about 80% are
00:12:58.35\00:13:02.58
cholesterol. Let's
look at fat, if we get too
00:13:02.85\00:13:06.71
much protein again
we're talking about the
00:13:06.75\00:13:08.88
animal protein, you
really can't get a whole
00:13:09.16\00:13:11.15
lot in the plant
protein, then excess protein
00:13:11.37\00:13:14.51
that the body needs
converts over into our
00:13:14.73\00:13:17.65
fat cells. Therefore
you have increase of weight,
00:13:18.47\00:13:23.10
with the increase of
weight increased stress
00:13:23.54\00:13:25.85
of the skeletal
system which is now talking
00:13:25.88\00:13:28.25
about osteoporosis,
that also depletes calcium
00:13:28.50\00:13:32.78
from the bone. So all
of these problems when
00:13:33.29\00:13:35.67
we get too much
excess protein into our
00:13:35.70\00:13:39.04
system. Thereby
that's why we suggest plant
00:13:39.33\00:13:42.84
protein based on
Genesis 1:29, based on
00:13:43.01\00:13:46.53
Genesis 3:18 is the
best protein available and
00:13:46.66\00:13:50.42
that's why we emphasize in this
00:13:50.60\00:13:52.18
Abundant Living
program and also in other
00:13:52.35\00:13:53.89
programs in
Abundant Living and also on
00:13:53.92\00:13:56.53
3ABN I should
say, we emphasize God's
00:13:56.69\00:13:59.83
original diet a plant
based protein. Well, we
00:14:00.30\00:14:03.99
can never go wrong
with God's original diet.
00:14:04.11\00:14:05.92
No, you can't. That's
for sure, that's for sure.
00:14:06.05\00:14:07.42
I know you're saying,
well speaking about the
00:14:08.53\00:14:09.90
original diet are they
going into the kitchen.
00:14:09.93\00:14:11.65
Well, the answer is
yes we are, as a matter of
00:14:12.12\00:14:14.20
fact we're gonna be
doing a fantastic dish
00:14:14.26\00:14:16.31
that deals with a
plant based protein. Oh okay
00:14:16.56\00:14:20.01
called Hungarian
Goulash. Get your paper and
00:14:20.04\00:14:23.19
pencil and meet
us in the kitchen.
