The First Key Principle For A Successful Heart Healthy Diet
Protein is the only one of the three macronutrients that your body needs each day. High-quality protein is the key to good nutrition and health. Eating more protein than your body needs to meet its daily demands sends the signal “the hunting is good,” which causes the body to burn more carbohydrates for energy.
When your body doesn’t get adequate protein, the body receives the signal the “food is scarce,” prompting the body to stockpile calories as body fat to use when times are tough.
Fish, lean meats, eggs, cheese, organic milk, beans, and nuts are all good sources of protein. Eat as much of these foods as you like. You can eat these foods until you are full but you must choose these foods in their natural forms.
