Professionals explain the effectiveness and impacts of the increase in the amount of protein on the diet to obtain hypertrophy
Ugf nutritionist (Gama Filho University), Monik Cabral, replied that it is not used for the consumption of growing proteins to accelerate muscle hypertrophy, since the body has a limit to perform protein synthesis. “When our body understands that the protein quantity is excessive, it eliminates what happens from the necessary,” he explains.
Protein consumption is surrounded only by myths, especially if connected to muscle hypertrophy. The physical education teacher Eduardo Netto, technical director of the Bodytech company, underlines that to reach hypertrophy, it is not enough to consume a high amount of proteins.
“Regardless of the lens, the diet must always be balanced and suitable for each case. Consult a nutritionist and not overload your body, because excess, in addition to not causing the expected effect, can cause health losses,” says the professor.
Why not abuse proteins?
According to Monik, recent studies have shown that hiring greater than 1.6 g of chilo protein does not promote further muscle mass gain. “That is, increasing the doses of integration or exaggerating food in a meal does not improve protein synthesis,” adds the nutritionist.
According to the professional, the protein plays a very important role in the constitution of the muscles. For this reason, its consumption should occur integrated with sport not only for muscle construction, but also for its recovery.
The expert also explains that proteins spent for exercise should be replaced in food. “At the time of digestion, the body transforms proteins into amino acids such as actin and myosin. And our body needs actin and myosin to build the muscles and recover them”, justifies.
Monik explained that it is not possible to eat proteins in an uncontrollable way and ignore the consumption of other sources of food. After all, they are also essential for the correct functioning of our body. “In addition to not helping, excess protein can compromise the rest of food intake, since it also causes the effect of satiety,” he said.
