ICMR NUTRITION GUIDELINES 2024 BREAKDOWN : LSFITNESS

Statement 1 : Some protein powders, marketed in packages as protein supplements, contain protein from multiple sources. Protein powders may also contain added sugars, non-caloric sweeteners and additives such as artificial flavoring, hence, are not advisable to be consumed on a regular basis.

My Take: Protein powders that contain proteins from multiple sources are known as protein blends. These blends often include whey protein, casein protein, albumin, and others. Protein blends are completely safe for use if they are manufactured and processed in facilities that adhere to strict safety standards, such as those following HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) guidelines.

Statement 2 : Protein powders may also contain added sugars, non-caloric sweeteners and additives such as artificial flavoring, hence, are not advisable to be consumed on a regular basis.

My Take: Protein powders may contain added sugars, non-caloric sweeteners, and artificial flavorings. However, these additives are commonplace in many foods we consume today. Rather than casting a negative light on whey protein supplements, it would be more beneficial to implement strict regulations that limit the use of added sugars. Additionally, encouraging the use of healthier non-caloric sweeteners, such as Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), and replacing artificial flavorings with natural ones could improve the nutritional quality of these supplements.

Statement 3 : Whey protein is rich in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Recent evidence suggests that BCAAs may increase the risk of certain non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As mentioned above, adequate non-protein energy from carbohydrate and fat is essential for dietary proteins/AA to be utilized for protein synthesis and for related functions in the body. Consuming high level of protein, especially in the form of protein supplement powders, is therefore not advisable.

My Take: Whey protein is indeed rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Recent evidence has shown a direct correlation between elevated plasma levels of BCAAs and insulin resistance, but this does not necessarily mean it is caused solely by high consumption of BCAAs. The condition may also be due to dysfunctional BCAA catabolism, existing insulin resistance, or being overweight or obese.

Elevated plasma BCAA levels have been observed in individuals who are overweight or obese and exhibit insulin resistance, and these levels are higher compared to healthy individuals. Observational studies have found that plasma BCAA levels are also elevated in patients with Type 2 diabetes when compared to age and BMI-matched controls without diabetes.

Insulin plays a critical role in the metabolism of BCAAs. Results from Mendelian randomization studies indicate that insulin resistance drives higher plasma BCAA levels, and large-scale genetic studies suggest a causal role of diminished BCAA catabolism in underlying insulin resistance.

Dysfunctional BCAA catabolism may lead to the accumulation of a number of BCAA catabolic metabolites in the plasma of insulin-resistant individuals with obesity or Type 2 diabetes, including BCAA-derived acylcarnitines, 3-HIB, 2-HB, and 2-KB. These can have toxic effects on cellular functions. It has been shown that acylcarnitines can cause mitochondrial dysfunction in several tissues and anaplerotic stress, thus dysregulating glucose and fat oxidation.

While there is evidence that elevated BCAA levels can impair insulin signaling pathways, it remains unclear whether elevated BCAA levels are a cause or a consequence of insulin resistance. Most studies measure plasma BCAA levels rather than in peripheral tissues, so future research focusing on peripheral tissues could provide a better perspective on tissue-specific BCAA catabolism.

Statement 4 : Most athletes can get the recommended amount of protein through food alone, without the use of supplements. Protein powders are not required. Moreover, prolonged intake of a large amount of protein is associated with potential dangers, such as bone mineral loss and kidney damage.

My Take: Athletes can obtain the recommended amount of protein through their diet alone, depending on what they eat.

For example, a non-vegetarian athlete can easily meet protein needs from sources such as chicken breast, mutton, and whole eggs while maintaining overall caloric intake, as these sources contain fewer ancillary calories.

Conversely, let's consider an athlete who follows a vegan diet. Major vegan protein sources like tofu, cereals and millets, and pulses and legumes do provide some protein. However, if an athlete relies solely on these foods without supplements, the total calorie count may exceed caloric requirements due to the additional carbohydrates and fats in these protein sources.

Regarding the safety of protein consumption, prolonged intake of a significant amount of protein—ranging from 25-75 grams daily—has not been associated with potential dangers such as bone mineral loss and kidney damage. In fact, studies have shown a positive impact on bone mineral density.

The European Society on Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ESPEN) advocates for a higher protein intake of 1.0–1.5 g/kg/day to help slow age-related muscle loss.

There is no evidence to suggest that a high protein diet can cause kidney damage in individuals with healthy renal function. However, those with kidney disease, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), should limit their protein intake.

Les barres protéinées

Aujourd'hui je continue le sujet protéines ! Après la whey parlons un peu des "barres protéinées" ! Vous en prenez ?

Au début quand j'ai repris le sport à la salle j'y allais après le travail le soir et j'avais faim alors j'en prenais toujours une en arrivant. On sait maintenant que c'était totalement inutile vu que l'intérêt de la protéine vient après le sport surtout mais surtout... plutôt que de perdre le poids que j'avais en trop, ben j'ai commencé à en prendre encore plus 🤷‍♀️

Pourquoi alors ? Avez-vous déjà regarder la composition d'une barre protéinée ? Cette année j'ai mené mon enquête et autant je suis pour la protéine en poudre si elle est de bonne qualité et bien utilisée autant les barres... 😅

Jetons un petit coup d'oeil ensemble :

Croustillants de protéine (31 %) (isolat de protéine de SOJA, amidon, sel), enrobage à l’arôme chocolat noir (26 %) (édulcorants : isomalt, sucralose ; huile de palme et de palmiste, cacao maigre en poudre, émulsifiants : lécithine de SOJA, E476), fructo-oligosaccharides, polydextrose, protéines de LAIT (isolat de protéine de LACTOSÉRUM, concentré de protéine de LACTOSÉRUM, concentré de protéine de LAIT, émulsifiant : lécithine de SOJA), isomalto-oligosaccharides, humectant (glycérol), arômes [ARACHIDE, LAIT], farine d'ARACHIDE (0,7 %), chlorure de sodium, édulcorant (sucralose), antioxydant (extrait riche en tocophérols).

Et mon dieu là en vous cherchant la composition d'une barre protéinée pour vous montrer je viens de tomber sur des barres protéinées M&Ms, Snickers... 😅

En moyenne une barre protéinée contient 20% de protéines lorsqu'une poudre peut en contenir en moyenne 70-80% pour la grande majorité. Ce qui signifie qu'il y a d'autres composants : sucre et graisses qui sont souvent pas vraiment de bonne qualité il faut le souligner !

Et je pense que le pire dans l'histoire... c'est que beaucoup appelle ça "substitue de repas" 😲 je crois que dans ce cas il vaut mieux un bon vieux sandwich jambon beurre je vous le conçois haha

Alors même si elles sont très pratiques, un mélange de fruits secs et d'oléagineux avec un yaourt à boire feront une collation bien plus intéressante je vous l'assure et pour l'aspect protéine on se dirigera plus vers la poudre 😄

Identification of novel fructo-oligosaccharide bacterial consumers by pulse metatranscriptomics in a human stool sample

Dietary fibres influence the composition of the human gut microbiota and directly contribute to its downstream effects on host health. As more research supports the use of glycans as prebiotics for therapeutic applications, the need to identify the gut bacteria that metabolize glycans of interest increases. Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) is a common diet-derived glycan that is fermented by the gut microbiota and has been used as a prebiotic. Despite being well studied, we do not yet have a complete picture of all FOS-consuming gut bacterial taxa. To identify new bacterial consumers, we used a short exposure of microbial communities in a stool sample to FOS or galactomannan as the sole carbon source to induce glycan metabolism genes. We then performed metatranscriptomics, paired with whole metagenomic sequencing (WMS), and 16S amplicon sequencing. The short incubation induced genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, like carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), including glycoside hydrolase family 32 genes, which hydrolyze fructan polysaccharides like FOS and inulin. Interestingly, FOS metabolism transcripts were notably overexpressed in Blautia species not previously reported to be fructan consumers. We therefore validated the ability of different Blautia species to ferment fructans by monitoring their growth and fermentation in defined media. This pulse metatranscriptomics approach is a useful method to find novel consumers of prebiotics and increase our understanding of prebiotic metabolism by CAZymes in the gut microbiota. http://dlvr.it/TBM7DX

Le Yacon, la meilleure alternative au sucre pour votre alimentation !

Le sucre est un véritable ennemi de la santé publique. Il est à l’origine de nombreux troubles de la santé, allant des soucis de digestion au diabète par exemple. Mais s’il est impossible de faire disparaître le sucre de notre alimentation, trouver une alternative qui ne présente pas de danger pour la santé est tout de même possible. C’est là tout l’intérêt du Yacon, une alternative au sucre et aux « faux-sucres », d’origine végétale. Le sirop de Yacon est le sucrant naturel le plus sain qui existe. Et la start-up française Yacon & Co l’a bien compris …   Le Yacon, un superaliment aux milles vertus  La jeune start-up française Yacon & Co est formelle, “le yacon est la meilleure alternative saine au sucre qui soit”. Ayant pour objectif de lutter contre la surconsommation de sucre, elle mise sur ce superaliment pour révolutionner l’alimentation de demain, notamment celle des personnes atteintes de diabète. Origine du Yacon Le Yacon ou poire de terre trouve son origine au Pérou. Il s’agit d’un tubercule naturellement sucré très prisé par les Incas. Le sirop issu de cette plante a un fort pouvoir sucrant sans pour autant avoir les mêmes inconvénients que le sucre. Il répond ainsi aux objectifs de la marque Yacon & Co de combiner alimentation saine et plaisir gustatif. Tubercule de Yacon Un bon goût sucré sans les inconvénients du sucre  Le sirop de Yacon est un produit novateur qui répond aux enjeux de santé publique actuels. Sain, gourmand et durable, il a un goût sucré légèrement fruité et acidulé, et une texture similaire au miel. Toutefois, si ce dernier est composé à 90 % de sucre, le Yacon n’en est constitué que de 25 %. Ce produit, issu de la racine de Yacon, a aussi le mérite d’offrir l’index glycémique le plus faible des aliments au pouvoir sucrant ! D’ailleurs, les glucides qui composent ce sirop sont essentiellement des fructo-oligosaccharides et des prébiotiques. Des composants qui n’élèvent pas la glycémie, car ils servent directement de nourriture au microbiote intestinal et ne sont pas absorbés par l’organisme.  Le Yacon, un superaliment riche en vitamines et en minéraux  En plus d’être adapté aux diabétiques, le Yacon est aussi riche en minéraux et en vitamines. Il contient en effet du potassium, du calcium et du phosphore. C’est également l’allié santé naturel de référence pour prendre soin de sa flore intestinale tout en se faisant plaisir. Pour cause, le Yacon est très riche en fibres prébiotiques.  Les autres propriétés du Yacon  Cette plante au fort pouvoir sucrant regorge aussi de nombreux autres bienfaits pour la santé. En fait, le Yacon favorise la digestion et le transit intestinal grâce à l’inuline qu’il contient. Il aide aussi à rebooster le système immunitaire. Le sirop extrait de racine de Yacon est également adapté au régime keto.  Yacon & Co, la jeune start-up française derrière cette révolution sucrée En constatant les ravages du sucre et des « faux sucres » qui sont présents dans 74 % des produits proposés par l’agro-industrie, Yacon & Co s’est posé comme défi de créer un «produit sucrant sans sucre ». Raphaella Nolleau et Clément Poyade, deux jeunes entrepreneurs français, sont à l’origine de ce projet de création d’une vraie alternative 100 % saine au sucre. Yacon & Co est une marque engagée, fondée en 2021 sous le nom de Yency. Elle se veut l'initiatrice d’une révolution pour lutter contre le sucre et ses addictions en France.  Pour cela, la start-up annonce la couleur avec le Yacon qui est un produit gourmand, sain et pérenne. Une révolution qui se fera en douceur afin de permettre aux consommateurs d’améliorer leur santé sans pour autant sacrifier le plaisir gourmand. Un sirop et de la pâte à tartiner pour commencer  La jeune start-up propose actuellement du sirop et des pâtes à tartiner à base de Yacon cultivé en France (praliné noisette et cacao noisette). Des produits qui sont disponibles en ligne sur le site Yacon & Co ou dans les magasins bio Biocoop. La marque projette de proposer à l’avenir d’autres alternatives aux produits sucrés les plus consommés en France. La création d’un sirop de Yacon 100 % français comme objectif  Sur le long terme, la jeune start-up Yacon & Co ambitionne de créer des alliances avec des industriels et des distributeurs qui œuvrent dans le bio et qui partagent les mêmes visions que la marque. A savoir l’engagement dans la lutte contre le sucre et la malbouffe. Notons qu’actuellement les Français consomment quatre fois plus de sucre que le taux recommandé par l’OMS. En parallèle, la marque aspire aussi à la création d’un sirop de Yacon 100 % français dans le but de réduire son empreinte écologique. Elle projette pour cela un investissement massif dans la R&D. Dans tous les cas, il s’agit d’un projet qui bouscule le marché tout en révolutionnant l’alimentation.  Read the full article
