Nino’s Mission

The Importance Of Eating Protein

November 9th, 2007

Hello my good friend it’s always a pleasure…. to see you back! Gee Nino and I have to say the same goes for me as well! Gee thanks my friend that really means alot to me coming from you! Gee Nino I’m the one that should be thanking you today! Gee my friend if you don’t mind me asking you…. why’s that? Well Nino do you remember our discussion that we had last week… on sodium? My friend as a matter of fact I sure do…. I remember it quite well!

Actually my friend I’m glad that you brought up our discussion we had last week on sodium, because I wanted to ask you something about that if you don’t mind! Gee Nino absolutely not…. go right ahead! Actually Nino before you ask me your question would you mind if I try to guess… on what it might be? My friend absolutely not go right ahead as a matter of fact, I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Gee Nino thanks…. I really appreciate it! Ok Nino I believe you want to know if I’ve been able to lower, my daily sodium intake since our discussion on it? Gee my friend I really have to take this time and say to you, how amazed I’ve been with you lately! Gee Nino why’s that? Nino did I guess the wrong question that you wanted to ask me? Well my friend I’m about to answer both of your questions…. are you listening?

Gee Nino I sure am because I really want to know, why your so amazed with me lately! Well my friend the reason why I’m so amazed with you lately is because your really starting to think, more and more along the same lines as “me”! My friend now I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing! Gee Nino does that mean that I came up with the right question…. that you wanted to ask me? My friend you couldn’t be more correct with that assumption!

Well my friend so that being said…. how’s your sodium intake been since our discussion on it last week?

Well Nino I’m proud to say to you I’ve seen two things happen, as soon as I started to lower my daily sodium intake! Gee my friend that’s great to hear! My friend if you don’t mind me asking you…. what two things have you seen happen? Well Nino for starters I had my blood pressure taken a couple days ago, and it’s gone down quite a bit from before! Gee my friend that’s awesome news! Gee Nino hang on a minute I still have one more thing…. to tell you! My friend do you see what I mean when I said your starting to think, more like “me”… because that’s usually my line to you!

Ok my friend I’m sorry for interrupting you I just wanted you to see for yourself…. that I wasn’t kidding one bit! Gee Nino I guess I am and personally I think it’s a good thing, to answer your question that you stated earlier to me! Gee my friend again I really appreciate you saying that, because it really means alot to me coming from you! Ok Nino let me just tell you this last thing that happened, and then we’ll get going on our next discussion today!

My friend that sounds like a plan!

Well Nino I’ve also seen since I started lowering my daily sodium intake, I’m not retaining nearly as much water as before either! Gee Nino let me also add I feel alot less bloated as well! Gee my friend when you tell me things like this it really reassures “me” and God, that I’m doing my job here each and every week! Gee Nino it’s like I’ve been telling you I think your doing a great job, because I’ve learned so much from you since we’ve been together in many area’s in my life so far!

Well my friend thanks for letting me know that I’m doing my job! My friend what do you say we get back to doing my job and get going…. on our next discussion today?

Gee Nino that sounds like a brilliant idea…. let’s go!

Hey Nino could I ask you a favor?

My friend! How many times do I have to tell you that you never have to ask me for a favor, this is why I’m here to help you with anything that you might need some guidance on in your life!

Gee Nino I know that it’s just that sometimes I forget!

Well my friend could I ask you for a favor now?

Gee Nino absolutely what is it?

My friend all I ask of you is not to ever forget that I’m here to help you, with any questions that you might have!

Ok Nino it’s a deal!

Great my friend now that we cleared that up once again…… what can I help you with today?

Well Nino actually this doesn’t concern me…… but a good friend of mine that I’m concerned about! Ok my friend what seems to be the problem? Well Nino he has been working out with me for about two months now, and I’ve been trying to get him to eat protein but he refuses to! Gee Nino all he eats in his diet are alot of carbs and he has absolutely, no desire to have any protein whatsoever!

Gee my friend! That is not a good thing for your friend to be doing, especially if he’s weight training! Gee Nino I know that! Nino I’ve tried over and over again to tell him how important it is for him to have the right amount of protein, in his diet but he refuses to listen to me! Gee Nino I was wondering today if you can try to convince my friend, to start eating his protein!

My friend absolutely consider it done….. it would be my pleasure!

Gee Nino thanks! Nino I figured if anybody could convince him to start eating his protein today…. it’s definitely you!

My friend! I can assure you that after our discussion today on why it’s so important for you to be eating your protein especially if your weight training, I have a strong feeling that your going to start eating those egg whites without any excuses! Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling again this week that I’m going to be receiving, another one of your valuable lessons that your so famous in giving me!

Gee my friend it’s like I told you earlier your really starting to think more like “me”… because your absolutely right with that assumption! My friend I also think this might be a good time to get your pen and pad ready again, so you can see for yourself why it’s so important for you to start eating your protein today!

Gee Nino I knew you were going to say that again so I took it upon myself, to bring a brand new pen and notepad with me today!

Great my friend!

My friend! Are you ready for me to tell you why it’s so important for you today…. to start scrabbling those egg whites?

Gee Nino I suppose but I be totally honest with you I think you have your work cut out for you today…. because I don’t like the taste of egg whites whatsoever! Gee my friend how can you say that if you’ve never had protein before! Gee Nino I guess you can say that I just know!

Well my friend all I can say in response to that is simply this! My friend I strongly believe after I give you this one important major reason today, in why you should be eating your protein your taste buds are going to be screaming for some egg whites!

Ok my friend that being said….. here we go again!

Well my friend let me start off today by saying congratulations to my good friend Mark Cambria, who placed third in his division at his bodybuilding show a couple of weeks ago! Gee Nino that’s awesome! Nino I’m hoping very soon that I can get myself in prime condition, to enter a bodybuilding show one as well! Well my friend I’m not trying to put a damper on your hopes of you competing in a bodybuilding show soon, but I think your going to find it rather tough for you to prepare for and be successful!

Gee Nino why’s that? Nino I’ve been training really hard in the gym lately! My friend I don’t doubt one bit that you’ve been training hard, but there’s one thing that you haven’t been doing that Mark had when “he” was training for the show!

Gee Nino what might that be?

Well my friend it’s really a no-brainer…. which is simply this! My friend the reason why Mark did so well at his bodybuilding show, is mainly because “he” ate his egg whites non-stop while “he” was training so hard for the show! Gee Nino wait one minute here! Nino are you trying to tell me that there is absolutely no way for me to be able to successfully compete, in a bodybuilding show if I don’t start eating my egg whites!

My friend! That’s exactly what I’m telling you and anyone else for that matter, who is looking to compete in a bodybuilding show! Listen my friend I’m only trying to help you here today understand, why it’s so essential for you to start eating your protein! Ok my friend I can see by the expression on your face, that you need a little more convincing by me why you should start eating your egg whites today! Well my friend maybe this reason  I’m about to give you will without a doubt, convince you to start intaking that protein like clock work in your diet!

My friend I think this might be a good time for you to start writing, because I have a strong feeling, that your going to want those egg whites “big time” today after what I’m about to share with you!

Ok Nino go right ahead….. I’m all ears ready to write!

Awesome my friend!

Well my friend I couldn’t help but be a little concerned in what you told me earlier! Gee Nino what what might that be? Well my friend when you told me that you’ve been training pretty hard in the gym lately! Yeah Nino you couldn’t be more right and I just know that’s making you very happy….. right! Well my friend I hate to tell you this but it’s really not making me happy or your muscles for that matter either!

Gee Nino I don’t mean to sound like a tape recorder today….. but why’s that?

My friend I really think it’s pretty simple why your muscles and myself aren’t happy with you training so hard lately! My friend which is simply this….. are you listening? Yeah Nino go ahead! My friend I don’t mean to discourage you but all that hard training you’ve been doing lately, is really not doing you or your muslces a bit of good!

Gee Nino might I ask you why?

My friend it would be my pleasure! Well my friend if you think that you’ve been gaining alot of muscle lately with you training so hard……you couldn’t be more wrong! My friend there is absolutely no way for you or anyone to build muscle while training, WITHOUT intaking the proper amount of protein that is needed for your muscles to grow! Actually my friend I’ll tell you exactly what you’ve been doing…. a great job in acheiving lately!

Gee Nino that would be great because I’m really not starting to like, what I’ve been doing to my body lately by not eating my protein! Well my friend you’ve been doing a great job lately in breaking down your muscle tissues to the point, where your losing alot of that hard earned muscle that you trying so hard to gain! Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea whatsoever that I could be doing so much damage to my muscles, by ”me” not eating my protein! Gee my friend I certainly hope that I didn’t discourage today from you contining to train hard!

Gee Nino are you kidding me! Nino I’m so glad that you told me in the way that you did because you really opened up my eyes today, to make me realize how important it is for me to be eating my protein wether I want to or not! Gee my friend dose that mean that I’ve convinced you today… to start scrabbling those egg whites in your diet?

Gee Nino I know that I’ve said this time and time again to you, but I feel it’s necessary today to say it again to you! Gee my friend and what might that be? Gee Nino it’s really a no-brainer to anybody now…… which is simply this! Nino you know how to put things in the the right context without being pushy, for anyone to stop the road that they’ve been going on and start taking the one that your on…. the “No Excuse” road!

Well my friend that sure sounds like to me that I’ve convinced you today without any excuses whatsoever…. to get on that protein track! Gee Nino you couldn’t be more on the right track…. with that assumption! Gee Nino as a matter of fact…. guess where I’m going? Gee my friend where’s that? Well Nino I’m going home for lunch now and I’m going to scrabble myself some egg whites! Hey Nino would you like to join me? My friend now your talking my language…… let’s go have some protein!!
