Well-Kept Secrets From An Ex-Protein Supplement Developer And Research
Scientist Who Agreed To 'reveal It All'
Still think you need To get ?
* Do you think huge amounts of protein are necessary to building
muscle?

If you said yes to ANY of those questions, by the end of this
article you'll discover why wasting $50+ per month on protein foods
and supplements may be doing NOTHING to help you pack on extra muscle.
From: Brad Pilon - Former supplement developer and research
scientist
To: People who want to save money and never deal with protein guilt
again
Hi, my name is Brad Pilon.
I've spent the greater part of a decade working in the supplement
industry. As the research and development manager of a supplement
company, I've formulated dozens of different supplements for muscle
building.
Many of the projects I took part in were formulating protein powders
and other protein foods and supplements and selling them to people
just like you.
If there was ever a person absolutely convinced that protein was
the "key" to building muscle - it was me. I was the person spending
hundreds of dollars on protein foods and supplements each month,
buying extra meat at the grocery store, eating "slow-release" protein
at night before bed, and worrying myself sick if I didn't get my
"protein-fix" every 3 hours.
BUT ALL THAT DISAPPEARED IN ONE LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT...
I can still remember the time I first realized that protein may not
be the iron-clad muscle builder it was made out to be. It was during a
very exclusive dinner in Glasgow Scotland. I'd just put the finishing
touches on a new research contract examining the muscle-building and
ergogenic (performance enhancing) effects of a new supplement.
During the closing comments of the dinner, protein came up. I had
made a suggestion that adding protein to the new formula would
increase the muscle building effects which in turn would make it an
easier sell.
The lead scientist looked at me and said (in a sarcastic manner):
“Brad, if you BELIEVE in protein, then we will add it into the
formula”.
As soon as I heard this I realized they understood and knew
something about protein and muscle building that I didn't.
I realized I was missing some vital information about the connection
between protein and building muscle. After all, everything I'd ever
read in fitness books and magazines suggested that protein was the KEY
to building muscle.
I felt as though my understanding was wholly inadequate. The concept
of ‘belief’ has no place in a conversation about known scientific
facts. And if a scientist needed to caudle my feelings of belief about
consuming protein then they also recognized that I simply had not done
enough research to bring a sound scientific argument to this dinner
table.
But I was confused.
Everything I'd ever heard from fitness experts said protein was the
key to building muscle, yet my fellow research scientists who've spent
their entire life studying the scientifically proven effects of
protein were suggesting that protein wasn't all it was hyped up to be.
OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS IT BECAME VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT EVERYTHING
I'D HEARD ABOUT PROTEIN WAS A BUNCH OF BS - AND I WAS PISSED!
Learning something new is never easy.
I'll admit - I honestly wanted to prove my colleagues wrong. I
wanted to prove to them that protein WAS the key to building muscle.
Yet I was discovering that it simply wasn't.
It was as if my brain was in a deadlocked struggle with itself. One
side I didn't want to give up the belief I already had about protein,
while the other side wanted to figure out the truth about protein.
After all, I was spending over 220 dollars on protein EVERY month
already so I figured at the very least, I could save myself a lot of
money.
Eventually the rational side of my brain won the struggle so I
dedicated virtually every waking hour to figuring out what my
colleagues were talking about at that dinner table (mostly because I
didn't want to embarrass myself in front of them again).
AND WHAT I FOUND OUT ABSOLUTELY FLOORED ME...
Everything the muscle building magazines said, everything I'd read
in online forums, everything they teach personal trainers and
nutritionists, everything the supplement companies were saying...all
pointed to one simple conclusion.
Protein really had virtually no backing to it AT ALL.
Everything I'd ever heard such as...
...it was the KEY component to building muscle
...if you didn't eat it every 3 hours your nitrogen balance would
turn negative and you'd start losing muscle
...your body can only digest 30 or so grams of protein per meal
...if you weren't getting a minimum of 1g of protein per pound of
body weight, it would be nearly impossible to gain muscle
...and everything else that fitness "experts" claim that protein
does...
was just 1 big fat lie created to sell more protein!
In fact what I discovered was that...
THE SUPPLEMENT INDUSTRY IS FILLED WITH MARKETING EXPERTS WHOSE JOB
HAS 1 PURPOSE... TO MAKE US PROTEIN-OBSESSED LUNATICS (AND IN JUST A
MINUTE - I'LL TELL YOU WHY)
I'm not saying this to try and change your beliefs. I'm revealing
this information to protect you from the money-grubbing weasels trying
to snatch every possible red cent out of your wallet.
I'm trying to take the blinds off your eyes and reveal what's REALLY
going on behind the scenes.
Here's some proof of just how obsessed we've become with protein.
#1: How Much Protein Do They Sell Each Year? - Did you know that the
protein supplement industry has projected sales of over 6 billion
dollars by 2011?
Think about that.
By 2011 roughly 857,142,857 pounds of protein will be sold in just 1
year at an average price of about $35 for a 5 pound tub of protein.
With that much money coming in, you can bet that the fitness
industry scoundrels (I know, I used to be one until I discovered their
secrets) are trying to "hush" the fact that protein really might not
be the miracle nutrient people think it is.
#2: Different Types Of Protein For Every Occasion - Have you ever
gone to a store or shopped on a website to buy protein powder and
couldn't make up your mind as to which one you needed?
I know I have. Multiple times.
Just take a look at the following types of protein powder you can
buy....
* Whey Protein
* Concentrate
* Isolate
* Ion-Exchanged
* Micro-filtered
* Hydrolyzed
* Casein Protein
* Milk Protein
* Egg Protein
* Soy Protein
* Rice Protein
* Meal Replacement Powders
* Weight Gainers
* All-Natural Protein
And all the different combinations you get when combining these
different protein powders for different purposes.
Because as we all know, it's "essential" to drink various protein
drinks throughout the day to get the maximum effect...right?
#3: Even More Proof That We're Obsessed - I recently decided to
browse around a popular forum and type in the word "protein" to see
just how many people were talking about protein powders.
And I found one post in particular which literally dropped my jaw.
Turns out, someone started a thread asking the other members what
they thought was the "best" protein powder. And as of early May 2009 -
their were 6,632 posts in that 1 thread alone! It also had 792,655
page views, which shows just how big of a topic protein really is in
the bodybuilding world.
Another quick search on one of the most popular supplement companies
in the world brought back 475 different tubs of protein powder they
were selling.
Type "protein powder" powder into Google and you get 129,000,000
HITS. That means their are 129,000,000 websites out there talking
about protein.
YIKES!
#4: PROTEIN GUILT - Have you ever gone out to eat and tried to base
your order on whether or not it had enough protein?
Ever wake up and immediately eat breakfast to make sure you
introduced protein back into your body after the long night of sleep?
Ever spend extra money at the store because you wanted to make sure
you had protein with each meal?
Do you spend hours of your life each week cooking food and putting
it in plastic containers, carrying it around with you so you could
make sure you have protein every 3 hours?
IF YOU SAID YES TO ANY OF THOSE...YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM PROTEIN
GUILT.
The protein industry has forced us to believe that huge amounts of
protein are absolutely necessary to building more muscle. But as
you'll find out, that's not the case.
I'm not saying protein doesn't build muscle because it does.
However their are a lot of "caveats" that come along with it. And
once you discover these tidbits of information, you're going to love
the freedom of not worrying about protein all day long.
BUT THE SUPPLEMENT COMPANIES ARE PRACTICALLY ANGELS COMPARED TO THE
GOLIATH BIG FOOD INDUSTRY!
I know this is hard to believe, but compared to the "root of all
these problems" (the big food industry) - these protein supplements
are practically angels.
You see, it's not their fault. They are legitimately trying to make a
living off of the food-industries' million dollar table scraps.
It's the food industry that has the powerful lobby groups protecting
and pushing protein - It's like protein has it's own billion dollar PR
agency!
Certain people in the food industry will spare no expenses making
sure you believe two things - Protein is good for you, and you need
more protein.
In fact, the food industry actually helps the government decide what
we should be eating!
So while every nutrition-guru likes to point their finger at the evil
supplement industry - I'm here to tell you the real truth. The protein
powder industry is no worse than the beef, egg or dairy industries!
I SPENT THE NEXT 23 MONTHS OF MY LIFE AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF
MY POCKET WRITING \"HOW MUCH PROTEIN\" SO YOU COULD LEARN HOW IT FEELS
TO BE FREE OF \"PROTEIN GUILT\" FOREVER
Trust me, if there's anybody who didn't want to believe the things
I'm about to say - it's me. I've been an athlete and bodybuilder
nearly all my life, and it's easy to think that by simply eating more
protein - I'll get bigger.
But unfortunately that's not true, and you deserve to know the truth.
And here's the absolutely astonishing part - the truth isn't some
super secret document. Nor is it stolen corporate documents or insider
information. It is an ABUNDANCE of scientific information that most
academics are more than familiar with.
Unfortunately, you've most likely never heard any of it before,
because most people who write about protein have some sort of
financial benefit involved.
From kick backs, and royalties to being outright shareholders in
supplement companies, most people we (I'm including myself) have
turned to for advice have serious financial reasons to bend the truth
a little.
This is why I want you to know the TRUTH and not made-up lies forcing
you to buy protein that's not necessary.
However since I'm a bodybuilder myself, I realize you're skeptical.
That's why I'm going to let you...
TAKE A SNEAK PEAK AT WHAT'S INSIDE \"HOW MUCH PROTEIN\"
By default protein is the only ______ left that could possibly
________ for us. (page 8)
The difference between a REAL scientific end point and a SURROGATE
scientific end point and how these two very different measurements end
up being confused and lumped together as the same thing for marketing
purposes
A MIND-BLOWING NITROGEN BALANCE STUDY THAT BAFFLED EVEN THE
RESEARCHERS EXECUTING THE STUDY! (PAGE 81) A study done in 2008 by the
Food and Nutrition Board proves whether or not nitrogen balance REALLY
makes a difference in building muscle
Are you following the recommended amounts of protein given by the
AMDA or RDA? If so, you're doing it completely wrong! (page 24-26)
Why figuring out your protein needs based on a formula such as 2.2
grams per pound of bodyweight is the WRONG way to figure out how much
protein you need...
Could you need as little protein found in a 1/2 glass of milk to
supply your daily needs? Find out on page 26!
Why staying consistent with one aspect of your diet will help you
utilize all the protein you need without worrying about how muc you're
getting each day! (26)

your daily protein (I PROVE this fact with scientific research on page
29)

muscle by doing a "dose response" (page 28)
WARNING: THIS NEXT FACT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT PROTEIN
FOREVER!
How you can eat 50 grams of protein and DIGEST 150 grams of
protein..in the same day! (this is something the supplement companies
will NEVER tell you)

is virtually impossible without anabolic steroids
Why Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA),Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), air displacement (BodPod) and water displacement
(underwater weighing) are used to measure real changes in muscle
mass....and the surprising results they found when tested against how
much protein people ate on a daily basis!
How to gain 4.5 pounds of PURE muscle in just 10 weeks...eating only
120 grams of protein per day (pages 46-47)
Think vegetarians can't build muscle because of low levels of
protein? I'll show you how they can easily gain JUST as much muscle as
people eating meat everday on page 51! (Fact: One of the most
well-known supplement companies in the world funded this study - which
PROVES they're lying to you in their advertising!)
On page 54 I reveal the "magic number" - the amount of protein the
average person needs to maintain each day to maximize muscle growth
Discover the 1 supplement I actually DO recommend that can increase
your muscle gains by as much as 57% in just 6 weeks! (Page 56)
Watch as I show you a study where people who took in LESS amounts of
protein gained MORE muscle!
How to gain LEAN body mass (e.g. muscle) even while on a severely
calorie restricted diet
The difference in the meaning of "high protein" between science and

or how often you eat? Find out on page 62!
Will you lose muscle mass on just 1 meal per day? 63 reveals the

What's the most important thing your body needs after you workout?
Not protein! Pages 65 height: 23px;" alt=""
src="http://www.7-deadly-fat-loss-sins.com/images/checkmarkred.gif">Why
most research studies trying to prove that protein synthesis is an
indicator of muscle growth are a load of bull (as an ex-researcher I
know exactly what they do and explain the process in-depth on pages
75-78)
Is protein synthesis REALLY a marker of muscle growth, or a clever
sound byte for supplement companies to make it sound like their
supplement will get you jacked?
The actual reason it's literally impossible for protein synthesis to
be a marker of muscle growth (page 79)
A mind-blowing nitrogen balance that baffled even the researchers
executing the study! (page 81)
The 2 factors you absolutely MUST include in your workout program to
maximize gains - regardless of how much protein you eat
Does your protein powder claim that it builds muscle? If so, check
the label for ingredient "X" - THAT ingredient is the REAL reason
you're building muscle, not protein!
Why figuring out your protein needs based on daily calories OR
percentage of your bodyweight is a waste of time - and what you need
to do instead (page 96)
THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW MUCH PROTEIN YOUR BODY CAN ACTUALLY ABSORB (PAGE
106) (HINT - THE TRUE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS NOT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN
HEARING ALL YOUR LIFE!)
Do "incomplete proteins" still count toward your daily protein
needs? Find out on pages 106-107
The truth about glutamine and whether or not it really is
"conditionally essential" like most supplement companies say it is
The myth about fast and slow-acting proteins. Does it matter whether
you take whey or casein protein? Page 110 reveals the truth.
39 research studies to prove what I'm saying is actually true!
DON'T BE A VICTIM ANY LONGER...
For both our sakes, don't let them take advantage of you or your
money any longer. I've been in this game for a LONG time and you can
trust me when I say - "you've been had". They've made you obsessed
with protein for 1 simple reason - so you continue buying their
protein foods and supplements.
They've done such a good job at mesmerizing people into thinking
they need huge amounts of protein that the majority of bodybuilders
will do nearly anything to defend their beliefs. They'll refuse to
accept the truth, even when the facts are put right under their noses!
So if you're that kind of person you probably won't believe a word
I'm saying.
And if so, you might as well go tell your forum buddies that I don't
know what I'm talking about and keep wasting your money and time on
extra protein that's doing nothing for you.
But if you're the kind of person open to the fact that maybe, just
maybe, the people selling you over-priced protein foods and
supplements are telling you exaggerated lies to keep you buying (pun
intended)...keep reading.
Because after reading "How Much Protein" you'll be able to...
STOP SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON EXTRA PROTEIN FOODS AND
SUPPLEMENTS AND PESTERING WAITRESSES TO GIVE YOU AN EXTRA CHICKEN
BREAST EVERY TIME YOU GO OUT FOR DINNER! - When I show you the 2
things PROVEN to build muscle (besides protein), you're going to save
money each and every month because you'll never have to buy protein
powder again.
\"SAVES A TON OF MONEY...\"
"Everyone that trains with weights should buy this book because
when you applied what you will learn in this book you will make better
gains, improved your health, save a TON of money and you will save a
ton of wasted time. This book is yet another home run for you Brad! "
Sincerely,
Pierre Farine
Let Go Of Protein Guilt FOREVER - Protein guilt is a very real and
very common occurence in nearly anybody who thinks protein is
important to building muscle. It seems to take over your life. But do
you have it? Let's find out.
Do you...
* Get anxious if you don't have protein with every meal?
* Pick out food choices solely on the fact that they have a minimum
of 30g protein per meal?
* Time it "just right" so that you can have your protein fix
immediately after working out?
If you do any of these things, you're suffering from protein guilt
just like I was.
And the worst thing about protein guilt is that sometimes it makes
you FATTER!
Think about it.
Instead of simply having a salad for lunch, you add chicken. Instead
of having a bowl of pasta for dinner, you add a few meatballs. Some
people go so far as to actually eat higher calorie foods ON PURPOSE
just to get extra protein!
\"NO MORE PROTEIN GUILT!...\"
"Dude, this is AWESOME. Protein guilt sucks. Thank God I don't have
to deal with that anymore after reading your book.
I'm saving an EASY $75/month and eating more of the foods I want
because I don't "need" to eat protein all day anymore.
Plus I don't get worried anymore when I'm out for the day with my
fiancee...no more melted protein bars in my pockets!"

Focus On What DOES Build Muscle -Inside I'll reveal 2 things which
DO matter when it comes to building muscle. Without these, you're
literally never going to build muscle. I'll be honest, one is much
more important than the other but they're both proven.
(HINT: One is a 100% safe supplement, one isn't a supplement at all)
Don't Be A "Sucker" Any Longer - I used to be the person who sold
protein to people like you. In fact, I was the person who actually
MADE the supplements you're consuming. Trust me when I say that these
companies look at you as "suckers". I know the industry, I know the
people. Although some companies are relatively genuine and honest,
most of them are simply dream-stealing thieves trying to rip as much
money out of your wallet as possible.
After you invest in "How Much Protein" you'll have a strong armed
defense against their deceiving tactics. You'll see through their lies
and as I already mentioned, you'll save a lot of money!
THIS BOOK ISN'T FOR EVERYBODY...
Kind of hard to believe coming from the person selling the book,
isn't it?
But it's true - this book is NOT for everybody.
In fact, probably only about 5 out of every 100 people reading this
right now will actually end up purchasing the book.
Why?
It's simple - they aren't serious enough about their health.
This isn't your typical, "do this and lose this much weight" kind of
book. It's designed to turn you into an "insider" - giving you a
collection of information that literally isn't available anywhere else
in the world.
I'm not kidding, there is NO person on Earth qualified to give you
the information you'll get in this book. Sure, there are are a handful
of academics and scientists who could EASILY give you this exact
answer, but none of them are willing to take time out from their busy
schedules to actually sit down and right a book just for you.
You'll become part of a very exclusive group of "in the know" fitness
enthusiasts who want to know everything possible about their bodies.
Because sometimes it's just as important to know how your body works
as it is to get actionable steps for losing weight or building muscle.
To you, fitness is probably somewhat of a hobby.
What do fisherman do to get more information about fishing? Ask any
fisherman out there why they're continually studying fishing and it
won't be to simply catch more fish - it's to learn the tidbits of
information other people don't know so they can have a "leg up" on
everybody else.
I'm guessing you're the same kind of person. You study fitness not
only to become lean, strong and energetic - but simply because you're
interested in the subject. And it makes it that much better when you
know information that other people don't know.
And this, my friend, is just that. Information that's literally NEVER
been released before....ever. You'll be on the cutting-edge to the
most controversial and life-changing information about protein to ever
hit the streets.
SO WHAT'S IT GOING TO COST YOU?
Well think about it. Let's say for example you spend $40 per month
on a 5 pound tub of protein. You also spend an extra $50 per month
buying extra meat, fish and other sources of protein to make sure you
get enough.
That's a fairly conservative number, right?
That's $90 per MONTH you could be saving by learning what I'm about
to tell you. And for some people it's going to be much, much more than
that.
In just a single year you've saved over $1,000 - simply from
learning what I'm going to share with you and not becoming prey to
supplement companies.
So if I told you it was $150 and that you'd get your money back in
just 2 months - that'd be a great deal wouldn't it? If you were to get
those kinds of returns in a business you'd be living in a 30 room
mansion.
But I won't ask for anywhere near that.
In fact, I'm not even asking for $80. Even at that price you'd get
your money back the first month!
I've decided to let you snatch it up today for just $59 $39!
Now, you might be thinking...
\"WELL CAN'T I JUST LEARN FROM THIS ARTICLE AND JUST STOP EATING AS
MUCH PROTEIN?\"
I'll be honest - you can do that.
However, I cover MUCH more in the How Much Protein book than simply
not eating as much protein.
I can't "give away the farm" but trust me - unless you actually read
the book and see everything I've put together as a whole, you probably
won't believe and trust me until you see it.
And if I were you, I wouldn't either.
Let me give you an example:
While I was writing the rough draft to this book I told a few
friends about my idea. Naturally they didn't believe me and wanted to
see proof, so when I was done writing the rough draft I sent it to
them. Without going into detail, let's just say they had sore jaws the
next day after hitting the floor.
They said it would flip the protein supplement industry upside down
if enough people found out about it. In fact, they encouraged me to
prepare my lawyers (which actually might be a good idea) because the
supplement companies will be FURIOUS when they read this book..
But I don't care.
Once I uncovered these dirty secrets, I literally quit my job
because I couldn't take the guilt of selling a product to unsuspecting
people who practically worshipped something that didn't even work.
So if you don't want to be a victim anymore, if you want to save
money each and every month, if you want to live without protein guilt
for the rest of your life and enjoy more "hassle-free" living, then I
urge you to grab yourself a copy of How Much Protein today.
Remember, invest just $39.95 today and you'll be saving a very
conservative $90 per month for the rest of your life.
You'll also enjoy more peace of mind, less protein guilt and anxiety,
and learn how to forget about protein and focus on what REALLY builds
muscle.
Sincerely,
Brad Pilon
P.S. I know you're skeptical. That's why this book comes with a 100%
money-back guarantee for 56 days. Within that time if you don't think
it's worth every single penny, simply send me an email and you'll be
refunded immediately. No hoops to jump through, no hassles. Plus you
get to keep the book just for trying it out!
P.P.S. I'm not going to try and confuse you with research jargon you
can't understand. I wrote this book so even a 10 year old could
understand everything I reveal. Unlike many other research-based books
(this book contains 39 research studies to prove my point), you'll
actually be able to read this and understand what I'm talking about :)
P.P.P.S. How much money have you spent on extra protein in the last
month or two? Remember, after reading this book you won't need to buy
extra protein anymore because it's not necessary! You'll save money
every single month for the rest of your life. It's like getting a
$1,000+ per year salary increase just for reading a
book!HowMuchProtein
