/whole beans are not zone protein
Dr.Sears`Mastering the zone, p10:
. bean protein digestion
is significantly incomplete
(in a typical nonanimal source of protein,
only 75 % of the protein is absorbed) .
[8.10:
. even if you did get
most of the bean's protein,
do you get the Zone diet's
glucagon-raising effect?
. the protein is raising glucagon
to spur the liver to produce brain fuel .]
. beans carry massive carb's;
so, consider them to be one of your carb's .
--[ perhaps he was just sympathising with
the popular conception that beans are
too gassy for a high-stress situation;
8.11: but,
if you got all your carb's from beans
(say, 80g of carb for one needing 60g protein),
then beans give 32g of protein;
and 70% of 32g absorbed is 24g
-- which is 40% of your 60g allotment!
just overlooked?! . he also says
never go over your protein allotment,
because it's a drug with consequences,
so, all considered, he might really mean
you should make beans just a side dish ?
8.27:
. in this article,
I find how to maximize the use of bean protein,
making sure the protein is balanced;
and determining how much is excreted with the fiber .
. finally I try to find what can be added
in order to raise glucogon without much insulin .]
8.29: summary:
. in a previous article on complete protein,
I had cited nutritiondata.com to show that
beans have complete protein
(important because beans = longevity);
however, growth optimization studies in rats
have shown that beans are short on
methionine, tryptophan, and, surprisingly,
could even use help with lysine
due to either the form or its required cooking .
. see bottom of this page, for a table of
amino acid percentages of various proteins .
