Lean Protein for Health

From the Set Food for Life

While fat is a vital nutrient that your body needs in order to produce energy and absorb vitamins, it's also far too easy to eat more of it than is needed. In fact, the average American eats an eye-popping 85 pounds of fat per year, far more than is necessary to keep one's body healthy and in good working order. The end result is that nearly three-quarters of Americans are either overweight or obese, and many battle with fat-related health issues, such as diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, and lack of energy. The good news is that you don't have to eat foods with a high fat content in order to enjoy your meals and snacks. Lean Protein for Good Health isn't about fat-bashing and dumping tasty foods from your diet; rather, it's about exploring the many lean protein options available in today's world and getting to know simple ways to prepare lean, healthy meats that not only taste great but also provide your body with the nourishment it needs to keep you healthy, fit, and happy. If you want to live your best life, this book can help you get started on the right path.
