I often have clients going on this new diet supplement or this new diet method, this test and that, etc. I always caution against taking or doing something everyday on and on. There has to be an end game or a shift into a different phase of the cycle.

So when it comes to foods that we are eating all the time for whatever reason, we need to check for overload. We should also check for over exposure.

I’ve cautioned about artificial, synthetically created most things and protein supplements are no different. Any diet plan that utilized artificially derived proteins failed to produce long term weight loss or wellness results. They caused a host of weird problems that just started showing up. These problems were mostly related to digestion and metabolism.

After 30 years of observation, you see how things progress. I’ve included other blogs on protein, here (dangers of artificial proteins), here (Guide to Amino Acids and Proteins) and here (Essential Amino Acid One Day Menu for Vegans).

Here are five natural, vegan, organic, non-GMO, non-hydrogenated, non-nano particle protein supplements for days when you need the extra protein boost:
