Where is My Complete Protein?

Today's blood sugar topic is Complete Protein. The first question you need to ask yourself at every meal is "Where is my Complete Protein?" Complete protein, is protein that has all of the essential amino acids your body needs. Complete protein directly affects your blood sugar hormone Glucagon (which rises your blood sugar). Protein is so special because it has nitrogen, which helps your body build muscle. Your muscle is directly connected to the speed of your metabolism, so Men & Women, muscle is friend. Basically any protein that comes from an animal (like chicken, beef, turkey, fish, etc..), or a by product of an animal (like whey, yogurt, milk, cheese, eggs, etc..) is a complete protein. Some examples of plant based complete proteins for vegetarians are hemp, soy, quinoa, etc..). Hemp is a much stronger plant based protein source then soy. The key if you are vegan or vegetarian is to make sure you get enough complete protein each meal. Whether you eat animal protein, are a vegetarian or vegan, the key to everything is to get the right amount of complete protein per meal from the proteins you eat. This is key in stabilizing your blood sugar. Here's a pic of some proteins. Please share this message with your friends and post your favorite proteins.
