The All – powerfull protein

Lean poultry and fish are considered to be fat burning foods primarily because they require so much energy to digest. Choose lean chicken breast, turkey, pork tenderloin, beef tenderloin, bison, elk, white fish, salmon, tofu and egg whites. Always trim extra fat from all meat. Salmon, tuna and varieties of lean white fish contain good fats – the essential fatty acids or EFAs, that affect levels of the fat hormone, leptin. Leptin influences how many calories your body burns and how many calories it stores as fat. People with low levels of leptin circulating in their bloodstream tend to burn more calories than those with higher levels of the hormone.
