Building Blocks for GROWTH Suck all the water out of a lean athletic body and what is left? Mostly protein. Over 50% of the dry weight of your body is protein. Even the hemoglobin that carries the oxygen in your blood is protein. The structure of your genes and your brain cells is totally protein. All bodily functions, from the blink of an eye to the creation of new muscle, are controlled by thousands of different enzymes — and all enzymes are proteins. So you better get your protein nutrition right if you have aspirations to become a champion.

And you have to get it right all the time. You can make big mistakes with fats and carbs and correct them easily. But your mistakes with protein build right into your structure, and hamper performance for months. Whenever I lecture on this topic, at least one student will object that I am overstating the case. "Aw, come on Doc, you have your genes at birth. They may be made of protein but they can't be affected by nutrition." Dead wrong. Many athletes don't appreciate the dynamics of body structure. Body proteins are not there forever. They die.

Experiments using radioisotope techniques show that over 98% of the molecules of the human body are completely replaced each year. Bits and pieces of all your structures are constantly being replaced with new proteins. In six months your biceps, your blood, your enzymes, even the structures of your genes are all completely replaced. The body you have today is built almost entirely from what you have eaten over the last six months.

If the proteins you eat are poor quality, then all the structures of your body, muscles, bones, blood, teeth, and pinkies will be poor quality. Oh, the human system is super ingenious at making do with inadequate building materials, patching, stitching, and pinch-hitting, but it can't build premium tissue from garbage. A Twinkles and coffee diet produces a Twinkles and coffee body. For optimum performance you have to eat optimum protein to build optimum structure -- period.
