A WORD ROM THE METABOLIC RECIE KITCHEN TITLE If you're someone who believes that pork is one of the protein sources that is much higher in overall saturated fat, it's time that you stand corrected. If the truth is told pork is actually much leaner than most people think and will fit in perfectly with your fat loss diet plan. Often pork is actually even leaner than sirloin steak is, so next time you're tempted to choose beef over pork, you may want to reconsider. ork is lower in calories and lower in saturated fat, so will make for the perfect option on any fat loss diet plan. Many people also often don't experiment enough with pork recipes to find ones that they really enjoy enough to make frequently. These recipes are going to entirely change that, however. You'll quickly come to love the great taste that pork gives when incorporated into any of the dishes below and will be reminded of just how nutrition this protein source can be. ork is very rich in vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, and hosphorus, all nutrients that will support a healthy metabolism, high energy levels, and growth and repair of the muscle tissues. If you want to support overall health and have more energy, this is a protein source to be eating. Metabolic Cooking 2011 Dave Ruel age 2
