Eat More Chicken...and Beef!

Do you want to raise your metabolism, burn more calories and store less fat? Thought so...EAT ANIMAL PROTEIN! Every part of your body uses protein, but it's not able to use protein in meat form. Therefore, it has to break down all the protein you eat into proteins the body can use, in the form of amino acids, hormones and enzymes. This is hard work, and hard work burns calories and increases metabolism. It is such hard work that very little of that protein can be stored as fat; it's used for nourishing, repairing and strenthening all of your tissues and muscles. Your metabolism is raised for hours during this process, and the more you eat, the more your body has to work. You burn twice as many calories when you eat proteins than you will with carbohydrates, so make the switch and get your body ready to work - for you! Melissa
