What Protein & Fibre Will Do For Your Metabolism
This week, I'm learning how to clean up my eating by reading well-chosen articles. My family and I have spent weekends baking fresh scones topped with full Devonshire cream and raspberry jam since the beginning of February. The chocolate banana bread that followed our Valentine's Day coconut chicken curry added to our baking repertoire — and waistlines. That's why I'm discovering how to eat more fibre to lose weight, ways to stoke my metabolism and reminding myself about the power of protein. In addition to a Protein 101 Guide and six protein-packed breakfasts, which preserve hard-earned shapely muscles, here you'll find motivation, workouts, events and extras to get slim and psyched to exercise.
