| In this article, I will talk a little about one of the oldest | | | | sources are also missing a very important vitamin - |
| food source in the world - meat! Meat has been | | | | B12 - because only meat, milk, cheese and eggs |
| eaten by mankind for centuries, but today more and | | | | contains that vitamin!Protein consist of twenty amino |
| more people are becoming vegetarians. Meat is still a | | | | acids, and for your body to function optimally, it |
| very important food source as it mostly consist of | | | | needs all those twenty amino acids every single day! |
| proteins - nearly 80% of any sort of meat is pure | | | | Every single movement in your body depends on |
| protein. Any function in the body needs protein - | | | | protein - from a simple eye blink to complex |
| people simple cannot live without it!Almost 28% of | | | | hormone production and water balance! The body |
| the protein people ingest today comes from meat | | | | itself can make a few amino acids but the rest has |
| products. Meat is also one of the best sources of | | | | to come from the food we eat every day - these |
| vitamin A, D and several B-vitamins as well as the | | | | are what we call "the essential amino acids". A full |
| minerals zinc, selenium and iron. Meat speeds up the | | | | protein - which mean a protein that consists of all the |

| important food source in a fat loss program!Another | | | | cut away the fat surrounding any piece of meat, as |
| good argument for eating meat/protein is that it will | | | | animal fat is very bad for the body. As a matter of |
| stabilise blood sugar which means that the craving for | | | | fact, all fat from animals is bad and all fat from |
| sugar will be kept down to a minimum! Almost all the | | | | almost any vegetable source is good - but that's |
| food we pull up from the ground has all the nutrition | | | | another story and more on that issue in another |
| we need - but vegetables contain far less protein and | | | | article!The bottom line is: Do not avoid meat - lean |
