With so many people eating an excess in animal meat which is now being highly linked to premature ageing and earlier death (due to activation of mTOR- for all you other nerds out there- but keep an eye out for my soon to be released book “A Diet in Paradise” which explains this whole health event), how do you take a break from meat without jeopardising your protein levels? You make sure you’re having a ‘complete protein’ 3 times a day. A complete protein is found not only in meats, chicken and fish, but in eggs, dairy and pure vegetarian types such as combining: a legume with a grain in a meal, or mixing a legume with nuts/seeds in a meal. This allows you to keep your weight loss/muscle building goals, whilst giving your body a break from all the animal flesh =)
